Agrowplow’s deep rippers offer reliable performance for medium-scale enterprises and contractors. With a range of features, plus shank and machine options to further extend their versatility, Agrowplow’s medium deep rippers are the perfect balance of size and performance.
Features No9 rigid and hydraulic shanks The No9 Shank is the perfect tool for shattering hardpan buildup while minimising soil inversion. Breakup compaction from machinery traffic and livestock with rigid and hydraulic breakout shanks. The No9 Rigid Shank offers over 6,000kg breakouts at the blade up to 450mm deep, ensuring you’ll see efficient shattering across the entire soil profile. The No9 Hydraulic shank also offers an amazing 1,800kg breakout at the blade. It uses Agrowplow’s unique scissoring breakout action. This action makes the shank break back along a wide radial arc, allowing it to easily pass subsurface obstacles to reduce wear on the shank assembly, plough, and your tractor. Variable shank spacings Achieve the right soil profile for your farm with variable shank spacings. Choose from 380, 400, and 409mm spacings to ensure your ripper breaks up subsurface compaction efficiently across the whole soil profile. Deep ripping without inversion The No9 Shank features a narrow shank profile to ensure you break up compaction without inverting the soil. This keeps valuable subsurface microorganisms at the soil surface where they can aid in plant growth while not bringing up deeper soil constraints where they can unbalance soil pH. Narrow shank profiles also shatter subsurface compaction while decreasing draft requirements on your tractor. Wider shanks invert soil and increase the wear on tractors, meaning increased fuel and parts costs. Agrowplow’s narrow shanks maximise the operating efficiency of your plough, meaning lower fuel and wear parts costs. Smarter shank design Tungsten tiles and tungsten hardfacing across the shank blades create a protective barrier of soil around the blade, reducing wear on the blade and keeping it working efficiently for longer. Full-length shinguards protect the shank no matter what depth you’re working at, meaning less wear and tear on your shanks and money saved on replacing wear parts.
