Barnes-developed agricultural product
Rotary Straw Movers
Move the straw. Keep the drill moving.
Barnes Rotary Straw Movers are designed to help supported John Deere HZ drill applications manage heavy crop residue and reduce plugging challenges.

Heavy-residue drill support
Built around heavy residue and drill plugging
Heavy residue—including tough wheat straw—can challenge John Deere HZ drills. Barnes revised its rotary straw mover design to help manage material flow ahead of the drill. A 14-inch spacing example appears in management material; confirm the current product and exact application before ordering.
