Large-scale farmers often grow a mix of oats, barley, canola, sunflowers, soybeans, and corn, and switching between these crops can lead to costly downtime. Traditional concaves require frequent setup changes, but concaves for multi-crop harvesting eliminate those delays by handling diverse crop flows without swapping parts.

Thunderstruck’s founder Jeremy Matuszewski introduced the Razors Edge concaves last November as concaves for multi-crop harvesting designed to eliminate time-consuming changeovers. “The bar spacing is variable based on crop flow, which balances the combine,” Matuszewski explains, allowing farmers to harvest multiple crops without swapping concaves. Field tests show the Razors Edge system increased harvesting speed by 25%, reduced grain loss, and cut fuel consumption by 40%.
