With a choice of no-till or straight leg shanks, the Sub-Soiler eliminates yield-robbing compaction layers and soil density changes – all in one pass.
Designed for deep vertical tillage, the Great Plains Inline Sub-Soiler shatters yield-robbing compaction layers created by horizontal tillage tools such as plows, disks, and sweep implements. With a working depth of 10" to 16", this fall tillage tool resets the soil profile and maintains uniform soil density with minimal topsoil disturbance and no residue burial.
The Sub-Soiler’s frame features high-tensile, 3/8" wall tubing for added strength and durability. Units are available in 24", 30", 36", 38", or 40" shank spacings. Shanks range in number from 3 on 30", 36", 38", and 40" spacing up to 12 on 24" spacing.
Features may include:
20" HEAVY-DUTY UTILITY COULTERSLarge 20" utility coulters cut residue directly in front of the shanks. This allows it to pass by without catching the shanks.
ADJUSTABLE GAUGE WHEELA screw jack makes adjusting the gauge wheels simple and easy.
CHOICE OF AUTO-RESET OR SHEAR BOLT SHANK MOUNTSWith 3,000 lb. trip force, the Auto-Reset Shanks provide stop-free operation in areas where sub-surface obstructions exist. Alternatively, the Shear Bolt Mounts provide obstruction protection at a lower purchase cost than the Auto-Reset Shanks.
