Of course, I wasn't there to observe up-close, but it appears the ripper is set a little too shallow. A good deep rip should leave the surface almost un-tilled. should not be bringing up copious clods and loose soil.
Not at all. This field was planted in wheat in June. Harvested in June and a second crop of soybeans planted behind the combines. The double crop soybeans are harvested in November. There are two planting passes, two combine passes, two grain cart passes, 6 sprayer passes. That’s allot of compaction. This subsoiling breaks up compaction for next years corn crop. In the spring they no till the corn on this field. It works well.
I like the new 4 track tractors, those 2 track really mess the ends up when turning.

how deep is it set
What brand of implement caddy does garnett farms use?
need to double up the shanks for this.
Its kind of no-till tillage. They run 18 inches deep to break compaction but leave the surface undisturbed.
Waste of time and money
