It gets ripped with an 875 ripper regularly but every time it is a battle to get through it
Running a ripper makes soil extremely prone to compaction the next year. We have high manure ground that gets the crud packed out of it by silage trucks every other year. We always plant a cover immediately after silage harvest and i am amazed by the wheat or soybean yieds we have the followimg year. It has been no-tilled since the mid 90's. One year I ripped the turnrows because it was packed so hard from cattle grazing and traffic. The corn made 40 bushels less where I ripped! LOL.
One of our farms seemed to pool a lot and not yield as well. I've been using pel-gyp every year aead of corn, now it is yielding with our better farms. Previously we took 2 shanks off our ripper and went as deep as we could pull it. It didn't seem to help any.
