Compaction can rob yields. Grazing cattle, harvesting equipment and other field traffic compacts your soil, which can inhibit deep root growth. The 4110 Coulter Ripper was developed to crack your compaction problem while leaving maximum residue on the surface. The front-mounted coulter blades, spaced on 7.5 inch centers, size residue and create fracture lines that reduce clod size and stabilize the overall ripper. A combination of 50-pound cast iron coulter spacing spools and extra heavy frame members take the bounce right out of this pull-type ripper. No need to load these frames with ballast - the weight is built in!
