Stem Cutter / Topper
Cut the tops off onion, garlic, and potato rows ahead of harvest so the lifter runs clean and the crop cures faster. A simple V-belt drive and open covers make field service quick and easy.
Clean tops, faster harvest
Leaf tops are what clog the lifter and what slows the cure. Cutting them ahead of harvest turns a stop-start operation into a continuous pass — and the bulbs go into storage in better condition.
Tops ahead of the lifter
Removes onion and garlic leaf tops before harvest so the lifter feeds clean and doesn’t clog.
Faster curing
With tops cut back, bulbs cure faster in the field and store better after pickup.
Even, uniform cut
A single pass tops the rows at a consistent height across the bed.
Pairs with the harvester
Runs ahead of the onion harvester to complete the lift-to-cure workflow in fewer steps.
Garlic stem cutting — field test
Built to be fixed in the field
- 01
V-belt drive
The belt slips before the steel breaks. When something goes into the rotor, the bill is a belt — not a gearbox.
- 02
Open covers
The drive is reachable without stripping the machine down. Belt change happens at the headland, not in the shop.
- 03
PTO-driven
No engine of its own — no separate fuel, and no second maintenance schedule to keep track of.
- 04
Built in Iksan
Out of the same ISO 9001 / 14001 certified plant that builds the WECAN GLOBAL tillage range.
