Pro-Crimper

The Pro-Crimper is a straw crimper used in conjuction with the Pro-Chopper to help anchor the straw or hay mulch to the ground in areas where erosion control is an issue.

​

The Pro-Crimper will save you valuable time and money putting cash in your pocket! Erosion control is a big factor at any job site, and resowing of seed during a project results in the loss of valuable labor hours. With the Pro-Crimper mulch crimper, you don’t have to worry about water or wind destroying your mulching and seeding efforts.

​

Working hard to hold area? In those areas that are more likely to wash or erode, such as a hillside or grassed waterway, you can use the Pro-Crimper to anchor your straw or hay mulch to the ground. The Pro-Crimper will eliminate the need for asphalt emulsion or other expensive adhesives and insure that your project is less likely to erode.

​

The Pro-Crimper is available in either 6 foot or 8 foot sizes, and is also available in a three point hitch version or a pull type. All units have everything you need to take them right to work!

Surveys of home buyers show that they consider a green lot to be significantly more valuable than a brown lot. Further research has proven that mulch will stay in place longer and substantially more seed germination will occur when the covered area is properly crimped.
