In keeping with its retutation as a leader and innovator
in the agricultural industry, Sukup Manufacturing Company introduces
its newest product...the VPS™3000 Variable Profile Subsoiler™.
The VPS™3000 is designed for deep tillage to
break up hardpan to allow water to reach the root zone. The special
shank angle and design prevent clodding and leave the maximum amount
of residue on the surface.

| Patented point and wing system
provides maximum soil density reduction with minimum siol
surface distubance.
The wing is removable for inter-row subsoiling in standing
crops.
Heavier points have a longer, wider wing area for better
soil lifting, and are held on with two roll pins.
The shin guard upper retainer is reversible for longer
life.

Parabolic Rippers
 Orthman's Parabolic Rippers can perform three
different tasks: extensive subsoil fracturing, inter-row ripping
or a combination of both.
A variety of tillage points are available to maximize versatility.
Choose to inter-row rip in standing crop, loosen hard packed fields
or fracture the subsoil with minimum top soil disturbance by just
changing the tillage points. The Parabolic Rippers feature a full
32" trash clearance and 20" coulters for trouble-free
operation in heavy residue and are completely adjustable to any
row width.
Interrow Rippers
 The Interrow Ripper can work a standing crop
to promote aeration and root growth. It provides an economical
single bar tool carrier that enables you to rip (up to 10"
deep) between the rows of a growing crop. It shatters compaction
caused by tractor traffic while improving water retention.
Universal Rippers
 The Universal Ripper can sub-soil and inter-row
rip using the same implement. It combines heavy-duty features
to work in depths of 8" to 18". Top soil disturbance
is minimized while shattering subsoil compaction for enhanced
root growth and increased water retention.
The universal Ripper is adjustable and fully adaptable to any
row width. A variety of tillage points are available to maximize
the versatility. The Universal Ripper comes standard with 20"
coulters for heavy residue conditions .

Description |
 |
The V957 DDR Disk Ripper has been engineered to
work in heavy residue conditions. The deep penetration will
fracture the hard pan promoting deeper root penetration and
better yields, resulting in more money in your pocket. Compaction
will affect your crop growth and reduce yield. Use a V957 DDR
to decrease soil erosion, increase the root zone for better
root penetration, fracturing soil for better moisture intake. |
