The Ripper-Bedder is available in 6-shank models with a rigid frame, 8-shank models with a rigid or folding frame and 12-shank models with a folding frame. Depending on the number of shanks, 30”, 36”, 38” and 40” row-spacings are available.

The heavy-duty, double frame with a 6” x 6” rear mounting bar provides years of maximum durability when traveling in and out of the field. The frame is powder-coated in your choice of tractor red or green in all sizes for a long-lasting finish.

Depending on frame size and type (rigid or folding) the 3-point hitch works with a variety of tractor 3-point Category 2/3/3N/4/4N standard and quick hitches.

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

The lead coulter features a swivel design for 10 degrees of side-to-side movement to follow ground contours and changing terrain. The 20” blade with 13 waves cut residue with 1,500 lbs. of down force.

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 minimize resistance for easier pulling. Replaceable raised-center shark-fin points break hardpan with minimal surface soil disturbance and greater durability.­
