•Used in stubble and deep soil processing
•Rips the hard layer below the plough depth
•Fertilizer types are mixed in the soil
•Increases the water permeability of the soil
Advantages:
•Used as a primary tool during seed bed preparation
•Increases the fertility of the soil as it loosens the soil without overturning
•Contributes to prevent erosion since the stubble and plant residues remain on the soil surface
•Demands less towing power and fuel consumption
