2025 Loftness Vegetable 12/24 Shredder 156

The Loftness® Vegetable Shredder uses a specially designed rotor that utilizes our contour knife system, enabling the knives to follow the shape of your vegetable beds. Bed rollers follow the contour of the ground and help push the vegetables into the ground to reduce exposure to the sun.

Specially designed bed rollers gauge the height of the cut from the top of the bed for increased accuracy. The bed rollers also help push any uncovered vegetables into the ground to reduce exposure to the sun.

The vegetable shredder line features heavy-duty design, engineering and construction throughout. Its level of durability is simply unmatched by any other crop shredder.

Loftness vegetable shredders offer precise height adjustment for fine-tuning performance and chop. Ratcheting and hydraulic adjustment options are available.

The vegetable shredder line is highly customizable with multiple options for tractor mounting, wheels and more.

• The vegetable crop shredder line features heavy-duty design, engineering and construction throughout.
