Description
Hardpan or compacted soil has two negative effects you can prevent: plant roots can’t penetrate into lower levels of the soil to tap additional nutrients, and excess water can’t drain which can lead to root rot. The new HDSS model subsoilers from Dirt Dog are available with a single or double ripper shank, and each ripper is available in a short or long style so that you can rip up soil that was impenetrable to water and roots and make it penetrable. You can also use a subsoiler to lay wire, waterlines or other pipe.
The high-carbon steel shank is capped with a heat-treated plow point so you can cut through the soil with minimal ground disturbance. Your tractor and subsoiler are protected with a shear pin.
