The New Standard for Harvest-Ready Protection
Corn growers face one universal challenge: today’s hybrids leave behind stalks that are tougher than ever. These high-yield stalks are great for production — but brutal on tires and tracks. One sharp stalk sticking up in the field can result in thousands of dollars in damage.
May Wes G4 Stalk Stompers are designed to solve that problem. These compression molded poly stompers flatten corn stalks before they reach your tires or tracks. Built for high performance and durability, G4s are redefining what growers expect from stalk stompers.
May Wes G4 Stalk Stompers are compression molded poly stomper attachments that flatten corn stalks to prevent tire and track damage during harvest. They are lightweight, durable, and fit most popular corn heads.
What Makes the G4 Different from Other Stalk Stompers?
G4 vs. Traditional Steel Stalk Stompers
While many stalk stompers rely on heavy steel designs, the G4’s core innovation is its UHMW poly construction. This ultra-slick polymer delivers major advantages:
-
Glides over soil even in wet conditions
-
Won’t rust like steel
-
Reduces header weight for more efficient operation
-
Handles extreme harvest conditions with ease
-
Fewer wear parts, lowering long-term maintenance costs
Whether you're harvesting in wet, dry, or frozen fields, the G4 is built to keep going.
Built for Today’s Harvest Challenges
Modern corn hybrids are genetically engineered for strong stalks and high yields. That’s great for productivity — but punishing for your equipment.
May Wes G4 Stalk Stompers are engineered to flatten and fracture these tough Bt corn stalks before they make contact with tires or tracks. That not only prevents punctures, but also improves residue management for your next planting season.
Modern hybrids leave behind stronger stalks. G4 stompers fracture them and lay them over before they reach your tires, helping prevent punctures and improve residue management.
Fits the Equipment Farmers Already Use
You don’t need to overhaul your equipment to get the protection you need.
G4 Stalk Stompers are compatible with all major corn head brands including:
-
Harvestec, and more
Choose from 6- to 18-row kits to fully equip your corn head, or start smaller with 2- or 4-row kits designed specifically to protect your combine’s tires or tracks. Many farmers choose the 4-row option as a budget-friendly way to get critical protection in high-wear zones during their first season.
Because G4 Stalk Stompers use modular bolt-on mounting kits, it's easy to start with a partial setup and expand later. For example, you can install stompers on just the rows in front of your drive tires this year, then add the rest of the stompers next season to complete your head as budget and priorities allow.
Installation is straightforward—typically about one hour per row—so whether you're covering two rows or a full 18, you’ll be up and running fast.
