When it comes to conserving residue and moisture in your fields for healthier yields and fewer pre-plant tillage trips, the Ripper-Roller deep-till tool is ready to deliver.
Ripper-Roller
Shatter hardpan, incorporate residue and level the surface to minimize pre-plant tillage trips with the Ripper-Roller tillage tool. By combining deep-tillage action with unparalleled leveling action, you will have the perfect tool for working in high-residue conditions. The Ripper-Roller features an auto-reset shank design, which trips upward and rearward when coming into contact with an obstacle and then automatically sets back into position for nonstop tillage work. The lead coulter slices through the soil followed by the steep-sloped shank that rips up to 18” deep and thoroughly mixes the soil. The shark-fin shaped wear-bars extend the shank life while the raised center shark-fin points break through hardpan and provide increased durability. Choose from a trailing rolling basket, bladed reel or cleated drum to level and firm the soil. Available in 7-, 9-, 11-, 13- and 15-shank sizes with many options to choose from including shatter wings and shank protectors.

Coulter
Lead Coulter
The lead coulter features a swivel design for 10 degrees of side-to-side movement to follow ground contours and changing terrain. The 20” rippled blade cuts residue with 1,500 lbs. of down force.
6-bolt greaseable hubs with 5 layers of seal protection help ensure long-term, trouble-free use along with patented formed cast mounting clamps ensure that the lead coulter stays straight in the field.
Shank
Shank Features
Shanks on all models feature special-alloy, steep-sloped ¾” shanks that loosen compaction up to 18” deep for shattering hardpan. The recommended pulling requirements are 20-40 HP per shank depending on soil type.
1 ¼” wide patented shark-fin wear bars extend the shank life and minimizes resistance for easier pulling. Replaceable raised-center shark-fin points break hardpan with minimal surface soil disturbance and greater durability.
Accessories
Rolling Finisher
The rolling finisher options feature independently mounted roller sections, each with spring-cushioned arms with the choice of 16” cleated drum roller, 16” bladed reel with beveled, high-carbon steel blades or 16” Rolling Harrow basket.
Shank Protectors
Choose between plastic shank protectors to provide non-stick performance in tacky soils, or steel shank protectors to help protect the shank from abrasive soil.
Shatter Wings
Add 7” or 9” shatter wings to the point that are angle-adjustable from 0-14 degrees for additional lifting and shattering action.
