The Blackstone B-RP 80 tractor-mounted single tyne ripper for drainage is a sturdy machine that, once connected to the tractor by means the 3-point hitch, allows subsoiling (or scarifying) the soil.
Subsoiling consists of breaking up the compact, more or less deep layers of soil. This process is commonly alternated with tilling, which does not turn the soil, but breaks up clods.
This specific soil preparation process allows:
- A considerable saving in time, halving the time needed to till the soil with a tiller;
- Preserving the content of organic substance and micro-organisms in the soil;
- Increasing in useful space for roots;
- Increasing in drainage capacity;
- Improving permeability and aeration;
- Not leaving the tillage pan, differently from ploughing;
