Conventional ripper shanks, typically found on dozer equipment, work reasonably well when winged tips are added and may be suitable for many jobs and locations.ġ.The specifications and types of our buckets are applicable to over 90 kinds of excavators such as HITACHI, KATO, SUMITOMO, KOBELCO, DAEWOO, HYUNDAI,etc.

Towed subsoilers should have gauge wheels to control the shank's depth. Shank spacing and height should be adjustable in the field. Shanks should be able to reach 1 to 2 inches below the deepest compacted layer. The typical spacing is 30 to 42 inches between shanks. Some testing has shown that bent offset shanks disturb surface residue less than straight shanks. Bent offset shanks, such as those found on Paratill subsoilers, have a sideways bend (figure 4b). Thicker shanks hold up better in rocky conditions, but require larger, more powerful equipment to pull them and disturb the surface more. Thinner shanks are suited for agricultural use. Shanks usually are from ¾ to 1½ inches thick. Shanks should be designed to handle rocks, large roots, and highly compacted soils. Horsepower required to pull the subsoiler. Surface and residue disturbance, effectiveness in fracturing soil, and the Shank design affects subsoiler performance, shank strength, Straight or 'L' shaped shanks have characteristics that fall somewhere between those of the parabolic and swept shanks.įigure 4a-Shank designs include: swept, straight or 'L' shaped, semiparabolic,Īnd parabolic. They may help keep the subsoiler from plugging up, especially in brush, stumps, and slash. Swept shanks tend to push materials into the soil and sever them. In some forest applications, parabolic shanks may lift too many stumps and rocks, disturb surface materials, or expose excess subsoil. Parabolic shanks (figure 4a) require the least amount of horsepower to pull. (3)It is one of the most common, strong, durable, efficient, which commonly used to loose rock (2)Forging, High resilience to prevent breakages
