Degelman’s heavy-duty staggered ripper aims to resolve past compaction

by

Compaction is a common concern with farmers throughout North America, especially in high traffic areas such as approaches and headlands.

In this report from Agri-Trade at Red Deer, Alta., Derek Molnar of Degelman Industries discusses the company’s new Heavy Duty Staggered Ripper (HDSR) that he says is built heavy but simplified, is easy-to-use and offers great results.

Using a staggered ripper instead of an inline or v-line allows for an easier pull and lessens the chances for plugging, Molnar says. This new piece of machinery levels itself automatically and has customizable shanks that allow for the different requirements of farmers depending on soil type, needs, and location.

The HDSR also comes with options such as a shear bolt, spring and hydraulic trip system, says Molnar.
