The ripper is continuing to work at Whitmore ranch. Getting very deep.

Deep Ripping increases soil drainage by opening up the soil and allowing water to infiltrate at a faster rate. This helps reduce erosion by getting the water away quicker. In other words, it results in soil aeration which helps break down organic matter and provides plant roots with plenty of oxygen.

They don't call it Ripper for nothing..

Yes. Ripper is doing a great job at Whitmore!

He is able to completely bury the shank and slip-plow. So far he has not brought up any hardpan (if he does, then he has to go again and break it up!). Slip plowing also displaces and cracks more soil than ripping (and requires a correspondingly higher energy input of course).
