Because of variety of cotton row spacing, there were some problems on cotton stalk pulling machine such as smaller using scope, lower efficiency and function singleness etc. In order to solve the problems，a new cotton stalk pulling head with regardless of row which could rearrange cotton and separate soil was designed. The whole structure and operating principles of the pulling head were introduced, and the critical components were designed by theoretical analysis and calculations. The main performance indexes of a prototype were measured by field tests. The results indicated that production coefficient was0.8hm2/h and pulling rate was 97.7%, when rotational speed of the pulling roller was 502r/min and advance speed was 0.93m/s, and all main parameter indexes reached their design requirements.
