I have seen and used 2 different kinds of stalk cutters. Early ones were made to be pulled by mules or horses, were on steel wheels, and had a rolling cutter with about 6 to 8 blades that chopped the stalks into small pieces. The cutter could be raised and lowered. Many of these were later modified so they could be pulled with a tractor. Many later ones were made with posts so one could clamp them to the cultivator arms of super As ,100s, 130s, 140s etc. They worked great but would make a mess of your tractor. The stalks rubbing and beating against the tractor would turn a red tractor black and brown from the gum on the stalks! Pieces of stalks and dirt would be in the mix as well. The operator would need a good bath, too. I don't know if IH made any of these. I see them sometimes at farm auction sales as well as around old tobacco barns. I have one of the newer ones. Hope this helps.
