The present invention relates to a no-till stem and root extractor system that has directionality, extracting the root ball from the soil. A conveyor chain crop remnant extractor assembly has a pair of flexible conveyor chains, a pair of coupling conveyor arms, two pairs of rotatable wheels, a pinch cylinder, and a plurality of cross-slat bars. As the device moves along the crop remnants, the pair of flexible conveyor chains, guided and retained by the two pairs of rotatable wheels, pull the stalks and root balls from the earth, pinch, and pulverize the complete crop remnants.
