Abstract
An implement for extraction and decimation of plant stalks with a puller section and flail section. The puller section is driven by a motor and uses a pair of track belts with interlocking protrusions to grab plant stalks and pull them up by the root. The puller section discharges the plant stalks into a hooded flail section with flail rotor and flail knives that decimate the plant stalk into small pieces.
