Ripper/Sub-soiler Recommendations

nbryan · Dec 15, 2019

I'm looking into acquiring a single shank 3-point ripper/subsoiler for my B2650, and hope to zero in on something by next "ripping" season. That'll be late April earliest out this way.

I would also prefer one that has a shear pin built in. We've got some rocks here for sure and don't need a bent ripper (or something else) in the first hour.

The main unit found online seems to be the Landpride RS15 Series Ripper even though it is rated 35 HP minimum, but that doesn't mean my 26HP machine won't rip with it.

It's the price of getting a new RS15 in CA dollars if frightening to me, well over $1000, so I thought to ask this forum for suggestions, recommendations, and maybe experiences for a low HP ripper.

Hailing from SE Manitoba.

TIA!

yeesh 1000 Canucks !! Try local farm papers,etc. I bought a single shank subsoiler for my A-C D-14 for $100. Yes, it's the Snap -Coupler version but then so's my D-14. Not fancy, looks like a giant fishhook with no shear pin.
I've never had a big rock problem in wife's garden.
When you consider it's only used 1-2- times a year ,kinda hard to justify serious coins.
Another option may be asking local farmers to rent theirs ?

Hello Tobans', I used to live at Melrose and Cooks Creek back in the 70's and 80's. I built a 3 PTH subsoiler in 2014 specifically for digging a trench to install a standby generator. It works very well and probably cost me $75 to build. Here are 4 videos of that unit.

Neil, I'm not sure what freight would be but this is the one I used on my previous B2650 and now L2501. It is quite strong and does utilize a shear bolt. $450 US dollars. BTW they can get backed up so if you decide on this and want it for April I'd order early February.

Check out titan. Palletfork.com I think. Type in subsoiler. They have a small hitch mount good for gardens cost 60$. Then they got a big boy ripper for around 600$ free shipping in u.s.
