Ripper-Stripper

Create a seedbed that warms quickly, provides optimum seed-to-soil contact for enhanced early plant growth and makes it easier for the plant roots to get the moisture and nutrients that are needed.

Depending on model, the Ripper-Stripper has 3 different hitch styles which include 3-point hitch, quick attach hitch and narrow quick attach hitch.  When pulling with oscillating 4WD track tractors, choose the optional pull-type package or 3-point implement caddy to reduce side stress on the frame.  Adaptor kits for standard CAT 2 hitches are also available.

Stabilizer wheels provide added stability and tool-free adjustment for quick and convenient depth adjustment in the field.  Rigid models up to 6-row 30” row-spacing utilize 7.60L x 15 8-ply tire, 8-row folding and 6-row 36”, 38” and 8-row 30” rigid models utilize 9.5L x 15 8-ply tires, while models that are 12-row 30” row-spacing (wings only), 12-row 36”, 38” 40” row-spacing and 16-row 30” row-spacing (base and wings) folding models utilize 12.5L x 15 10-ply tires.

All attachments feature parallel-link mounting for consistent operating depth across the field and are width, depth and down pressure adjustable.  All pivot points feature greaseless hardened steel bushings for reduced maintenance.

The 15” wide Rolling Harrow basket attachment with a choice of lead wavy coulter blades, notched concave blades or smooth concave blades is ideal for creating a fully tilled and leveled strip of soil ready for planting.  The 15” wide concave Rolling Harrow basket attachment creates a mounted strip of soil for a raised seedbed.  A 20” wide Rolling Harrow Basket attachment is also available with a choice of wavy coulter or notched concave blades for additional seedbed finishing.

17” wide wavy blade strip builder features two adjustable coulters ideal for preparing rough-textured seedbeds.

The trailing Zone-Firmer attachment comes in 16” wide with 4 press wheels and choice of lead wavy coulter blades, notched concave coulter blades or smooth concave coulter blades for creating a firmed strip of soil for planting, or lead angled press wheels for sealing the shank’s path and additional firming action.  20” wide trailing Zone-Firmer with 5 press wheels with wavy coulter blades is also available for extra wide seedbed firming.

14” diameter trailing crowfoot conditioning basket attachment with lead wavy coulter blades breaks up clods, conditions the strip and features a unique design to prevent plugging with mud, rocks or other debris.

Fertilizer shank attachments are depth-adjustable for delivering dry or liquid fertilizer and allow the operator to place fertilizer in the row for optimum nutrient uptake.  The shank stagger kit offsets the shank by extending it rearward.

The 3-point implement caddy easily converts nearly any 3-point tillage tool into a pull type implement.

Depending on model, the implement caddy has a hydraulic hose connection towards the rear of the caddy and all models include an electrical connection at the rear of the caddy for easily hooking up trailing tillage tool.

Adjustable tongue height with single-tang hitch allows you to easily match the tractor’s drawbar and the adjustable top link design provides quick and convenient leveling of the attached implement.

The patented flex-frame hydraulic valve kit on 8-shank 36”/38”/40”, 12-shank 36”/38”/40” and 16-shank 30” folding units allow the wings to float up 15 degrees and down 5 degrees to follow ground contours.

Row cleaner attachments installed on the lead coulter and feature finger wheels that are width-adjustable and feature a floating design to follow ground contours separate from the coulter blade.  These trail behind the coulter for more effective field performance and the curbed finger design prevents debris from wrapping.

The 4-coulter package adds 2 additional 13-wave blades to the strip-builder coulters for more aggressive and thorough tillage.  Optional specialty brackets add flexibility to accommodate additional row spacing.

The semi-mounted planter lift-assist package mounts directly to 6/8/12/16-row planters and feature caster lift-assist wheels for faster planter lifting and more stable road transport. The lift-assist package for 8-shank and larger units provides added lifting power of the tractor’s 3-point hitch.

The mounted integral planter arm kit for bolting 4- or 6-row 3-point planters directly to the back of a Ripper-Stripper implement and raises/lowers with the tractor 3-point.

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.

Add 7” or 9” shatter wings to the point that are angle-adjustable from 0-14 degrees for additional lifting and shattering action.

The option of adding a rear pull-through hitch is utilized for towing fertilizer carriers.  There is also a separate hydraulic hitch height control option. 

Row markers added for 8- and 12-row units feature 16” notched blades that leave a highly visible mark and come complete with hydraulics and sequence valve.
