2024 UM Unverferth Ripper-Roller 9 - Rigid Frame 24" Rolling Basket

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.
