Ripper-Stripper® Strip-Till Subsoiler - Unverferth Seedbed Tillage
"Customized Strip-Till from the High IQ* Line"
Product Overview
Tillage serves three primary purposes: 1. Create a seedbed that warms quickly, 2. Provide optimum seed-to-soil contact for enhanced germination and vigorous early plant growth, and 3. Make it easy for plant roots, moisture and nutrients to move freely throughout the soil.
The Ripper-Stripper® strip-till tillage tool from Unverferth does it all - in one pass - spring or fall - whether cutting through prior year crop or cover crop residue.
Here's the best part. The Ripper-Stripper tillage tool is your one-stop, strip-till shop with a large variety of tillage,fertilizer and shank attachments to easily customize to your exact needs.
Feature Overview
- Steep-Sloped, special-alloy shanks fitted with triangular-shaped, invertible wearbars for extended shank life and easier pulling
- The shanks are fitted with replaceable, forged-steel, raised-center points that dig down and through compacted soil up to 18" inches deep
- Model 330 features shear bolt-free, automatic-reset shanks that reset on the go for more time-efficient field operations
- Shanks trip rearward and upward from a single pivot point, reducing rocks and other in-field obstacles to minor inconveniences, and trip pressure of 6,00 pounds per shank ensures a constant working depth
