Subject: RE: Subsoiler vs Disk Ripper Please explain the difference if any


South-central ohio
IMO a subsoiler and a disk ripper are different. A subsoiler IMO is an inline ripper, and its sole purpose is to break up compaction. Very little disturbance on the surface. A disk ripper has rows of disks, followed by more curved shanks that don't go quite as deep, and many have some sort of leveling attachment like rolling baskets or more disks. Guys use disk rippers to bury residue, break up compaction, and soften ground up. They are much more aggresive on the surface and "blacken" the soil. Hope this helps.
