Maryville, MO | Depends on soil and farming practices primarily
Here in NWMO, its very common to inline rip compacted turnrows and high traffic areas where grain carts run for designated compaction. Works fine as long as you have an appropriate sized horse on the front that doesn't make a big mess directly in front of the ripper. Have done it before with too small of a tractor and you just sit and spin and cause problems beyond what you started with.
Have a good tractor setup, do it in the fall, set it just below your compaction layer (use a penetrometer to determine the depth), and allow it to settle out over winter and it seems to work quite well. | |
