Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new 

product owners.
This Straw Crimper has been designed with care and 

built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper 

assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will 

help you get years of satisfactory use from this machine. 

Application

If heat, erosion or run-off is a problem, crimping straw into 

the ground needs to be the final step in grass seeding. 

The Land Pride CR2572 Straw Crimper keeps seed in 

place and undisturbed soil on top, promoting an optional 

environment where resources can be scarce. Seeding 

along highways, large municipal sites, and other areas 

where erosion control is needed are good applications for 

a Land Pride Straw Crimper. The 72" (183 cm) width is 

sized right for most landscaping sized tractors, and can 

be used for large or small landscape jobs or roadside 

work. When the ground is hard and time does not permit 

another round of preparation before crimping, the 

additional weight of the optional water tanks can help 

force the discs into the hard-packed soil. 
See 

“Specifications & Capacities”

 on page 19 and 

“Features & Benefits”

 on page 20 for additional 

information and performance enhancing options.
