Creating wealth through healthy soils
The THUNDERRIPPER ® has been engineered in consultation with croppers and agronomists across Australia. Soil compaction is an ongoing and common problem in our farming systems and can have a significant impact on yields if not addressed.
Engineered and made in Australia, the THUNDERRIPPER ® suits farmers looking for a cost effective, deep ripping solution to maximise yield potential.
The THUNDERRIPPER® is a heavy duty Ripper, built to shatter compacted soils. It is fitted with tines that reach deep into hard pans to break up and lift soils, allowing room for plant development, nutrient and moisture entry, and accumulation of organic materials.
The range of options available make it simple to tailor it to your farming system and soil type.
NEW – THUNDERRIPPER ® with Hydraulic Tines
The K-Line Ag THUNDERRIPPER™ has a variety of advantages to help address current issues in many farming operations. Features include:
- Heavy duty tines with a shear-pin system. These tines rip to a depth of approx. 450-500mm. They reach deep into hard pans to break up & lift soils, allowing room for plant development, nutrient & moisture entry, and accumulation of organic materials
- Adjustable knifing roller. Excellent for one-pass operations, this roller fluffs and conditions the soil, breaking up any clods left by the tines. This provides a conditioned soil profile for excellent moisture penetration and retention
- Optional depth gauge wheels
- 680mm underframe clearance
- Multiple configurations available, to suit your operation! The ThunderRipper™ comes in 3 Point Linkage, Trailing Rigid and Trailing Folding models, with operating widths from 2.5-6m
- Optional tyne spacings available to suit your operation and soil type
- Extremely robust construction with heavy duty main frame members (150 x 150 x 9mm)
