Rippers For Sale in New Zealand

For fields where you’re looking to alleviate soil compaction, a ripper, also referred to as an inline ripper or a disc ripper (when combined with a disc), is the farm implement of choice. Rippers are designed for deep tillage and in many cases are used only on specific areas of fields where compaction from water or traffic from machinery such as combines and grain carts is a concern. Rippers also allow for better residue and erosion management as moisture, fertiliser, and nutrients can better penetrate the soil.

Ripper shanks typically come in two versions: curved or straight. The shanks on Case IH rippers for sale include patented Tiger points that extend down, back, and out, reportedly creating better soil tilth, or condition. In most rippers, a coulter in front of the shanks will cut a path while also breaking up crop residue. In addition to Case IH rippers, you’ll find new and used rippers from names such as Brillion, Bush Hog, Glencoe, John Deere, Krause, Landoll, M&W, Sunflower, Unverferth, and Wil-Rich.
