Stalk-cut′ter.
(Husbandry.) An implement for cutting old corn-stalks in the field in order that they may be readily plowed in. The frame with the rotating knives is dragged beneath the main frame, which rests on wheels. Shares precede the cutter-wheel and draw the stalks into lines, so that they are cut across by the knives. The “Eureka” stalk-cutter is capable of being turned into a roller by placing shells over the cutting-cylinders.
