Orthman's Parabolic Rippers can perform three different tasks: extensive subsoil fracturing, inter-row ripping or a combination of both.

A variety of tillage points are available to maximize versatility. Choose to inter-row rip in standing crop, loosen hard packed fields or fracture the subsoil with minimum top soil disturbance by just changing the tillage points. The Parabolic Rippers feature a full 32" trash clearance and 20" coulters for trouble-free operation in heavy residue and are completely adjustable to any row width.

The Interrow Ripper can work a standing crop to promote aeration and root growth. It provides an economical single bar tool carrier that enables you to rip (up to 10" deep) between the rows of a growing crop. It shatters compaction caused by tractor traffic while improving water retention.

The Universal Ripper can sub-soil and inter-row rip using the same implement. It combines heavy-duty features to work in depths of 8" to 18". Top soil disturbance is minimized while shattering subsoil compaction for enhanced root growth and increased water retention.

The universal Ripper is adjustable and fully adaptable to any row width. A variety of tillage points are available to maximize the versatility. The Universal Ripper comes standard with 20" coulters for heavy residue conditions .
