REDDI-LYNX

The REDDI-LYNX is a cover crop crimper that mounts on the tractor's 3-point hitch. Five models, LRB06 through LRB15, from 76.25” to 184.5” wide, all running a 24” drum. It does the same job as our towed Cover Crop Crimper on a machine you can pick up on the hitch and carry to the next field.

What it does in the field

The drum rolls the cover crop flat and crimps the stems rather than cutting them. The crop stays down as a mat instead of standing back up, and that mat shades the ground, so weed seeds get less of the light they need to start. The residue breaks down on the surface where it keeps the soil covered, and you seed through it without a tillage pass.

Drum and frame

Every model runs a 24” drum: 24” x 72” on the LRB06 up to 24” x 180” on the LRB15. Bearing ID is 2.5” across the range. Frame tubing is 4” x 4” on the LRB06, LRB08 and LRB10, and 8” x 4” on the LRB12 and LRB15 where the drum is longer and the load on the frame is higher.

Sizes and weights

The LRB06 weighs 1039 lbs and the LRB15 2313 lbs, so the limit is what your three-point hitch is rated to lift, not horsepower. Height is 36” on the three smaller models and 40.5” on the LRB12 and LRB15; length is 33.5” and 35” respectively.

Where it fits

Small fields, odd corners and headlands that a 30-foot machine cannot work properly. Nothing to unfold and nothing to hook up beyond the hitch: lift it, drive to the field, set it down and go.

Advantages of the model

Crimps, does not cut

The drum bends and cracks the stems and lays the crop flat. It stays down as a mat that shades the surface, so fewer weed seeds get the light to start, and the residue breaks down on top instead of being worked in.

24” drum on 2.5” bearings

The same 24” drum runs across all five models, from 24” x 72” on the LRB06 to 24” x 180” on the LRB15, with a 2.5” bearing ID throughout. One drum size, one bearing to stock.

Frame sized to the width

4” x 4” frame tubing on the LRB06, LRB08 and LRB10; 8” x 4” on the LRB12 and LRB15, where the drum is longer and the middle of the frame carries more. The frame is matched to the machine, not the other way round.

Goes on the three-point

No drawbar, no folding and nothing to unhook at the end of the field: the crimper mounts on the 3-PT hitch. 1039 lbs on the LRB06 up to 2313 lbs on the LRB15, so the hitch rating is what decides the size.

Have a question?

Below are the questions our dealers hear most often about the Reddi-Lynx. If yours is not here, call us or send it through the form at the bottom of the page.

Which model do I need?

LRB06 at 76.25” through LRB15 at 184.5”, with drums from 24” x 72” to 24” x 180”. Match it to the rows or the field width you are working, and to what your three-point can lift: 1039 lbs at the small end, 2313 lbs at the large.

What tractor does it take?

Anything with a 3-PT hitch rated for the weight of the model you pick. There is no driveline and no hydraulic circuit to feed; the machine is a drum, a frame and two bearings.

How is this different from the Cover Crop Crimper?

Same job, different mounting. The REDDI-LYNX hangs off the three-point in five sizes from 76.25” to 184.5”. The towed Cover Crop Crimper covers 8' to 42' on Mini, Inline and 3-Plex frames, for acres this machine would take all week to do.

Does it kill the cover crop or only flatten it?

Crimping cracks the stem, which stops the plant rather than cutting it off at the ground. The crop lies down and stays down, which is the point: the mat holds the surface and shades it while it breaks down.

What does it replace?

A herbicide burndown on the cover crop, or a tillage pass run to get rid of it. You seed through the mat and the residue stays on top.
