Tractors often have to make many passes through vineyards and orchards, creating hard pan under the tractor tires. From time to time, it is recommended to rip that area using a subsoiler to aerate the soil for better water penetration and increased root growth. The working width of the ripping shanks can be set to the tractor tire centers, which shatters the soil over the compacted area up to 18" deep. These rippers have two 4" x 6" beams for added strength. Models available for all popular vineyard row spacings.
