6│DT Subsoil Ripper
Eliminate yield-robbing, root-zone compaction, increase soil porosity and utilize deeper soil moisture and nutrients
The Orthman 6|DT subsoil ripper is designed as a soil conservation tool that destroys deep compaction layers to increase moisture intake, reduce runoff and increase yields. With a working depth ranging from 8-20 inches, the 6|DT enables your field to soak up moisture and produce to the best of its ability. The 6|DT provides maximum tillage without the loss of moisture from evaporation and is the most effective tool available to correct yield-robbing and moisture-denying compaction layers.
Engineered Strength
The all-new heavy-duty toolbar is designed from the ground up to withstand the rigors of ripping up to 20 inches deep. Made from dual 7x7-inch bars with engineered reinforcements to provide unmatched toolbar strength, the 6|DT is available in row spacings of 30, 36, 38 and 40 inches, with five to nine shanks, and with category 3-N or 4-N three-point hitches.
Available with either a 20-inch leading rigid cutting coulter or the all-new Orthman zero maintenance spring coulter to slice through the thickest residue to eliminate plugging, the 6|DT has the options needed to customize to your operation.
Rigid cutting coulter
The time-tested Orthman rigid cutting coulter comes standard with a 20-inch rippled coulter, and offers an economical option for growers not requiring a spring loaded coulter.
