@@ubrad8110 A sub soil ripper is used to break up the soil deep but not really disturb the surface. like after a harvest all the equipment driving over the field compacts the soil air and water can't get through. Also it is used when you have plowed a field so much you get a condition of hard pan just pass the points of the plow. A ditch is just a depression on the surface that moves water from one place to another. he could do that with the bucket or a box blade set at an angle.
I think it’s kind of a rough-in tool- just to get some water moving. I’ve been looking at getting one to hit some low areas in our fields. I’ve seen where they’re good for running wire also.
Hmmm. Was excited at first. Was hoping to see it dug a ditch like a ditch witch for a French drain. Doesn’t look like it would work. What do you think?
tsaipod I’ve see them used in other videos and not mound up the dirt as much (different soil type) I’m sure if I need to run some wire or actually make a ditch a few runs working deeper each pass might work out better
He is actually wanting a middle buster plow, but is using a subsoiler which is meant to go deep and break loose the sub layer of soil. Some of the implements will do both with the change of s cutter head.
@@coypatton3160 My intention was to cut a channel for the rain water to flow threw but at the top it mounded up to much and with it being a horse pasture I need to smooth it down. It still need more work and thanks for watching.
Matt's need for speed oh I understood what you were trying to do, but U still content you were using the wrong tool. You might get it done using a subsoiler but it will not be as nice a trench and will take lots more work! Try pulling your subsoiler blade off, ho to a farm store and find a 6” at largest “V” plow that will match up to the bolt hole pattern on your subsoiler blade. Using the plow blade cut your trench as deep as you wish it to be. If you do not the drainage you want, but it is draining somewhat, either cut your trench deeper, not really a good ideal with livestock present, or my suggestion, put the subsoiler blade back on and use it in the trench as deep as it will dig if possible run multi passed and take it to just shy of the cross member on the subsoiler! Subsoilers are intended to cut the hard clay below the surface that prevents good drainage deep into the soil.
that is not a ditcher it is used to brake up hard pans 8 to 12 inches deep
U Brad thanks for the information, I’ve just seen them used for many different things
That's a sub soil ripper. Breaks the soil up helps drainage.
he was trying to ditch with it, that's is not what it is for

THAT'S MY POINT!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU WANTA SHALLOW DITCH USE A MOULDBOARD PLOUGH.
If you made several more cuts it would allow the soil to absorb the water.

Thank you
Not what it’s intended for.
How do those work for one inch tree roots/ stumps? Will it pull them out? I have some willow tree stumps that I'm planning on removing.
I would think it would pull them up might have to hit it a few times depending on conditions
I've use mine to pull stumps out. Great for many things.
Hey man, could u say what the Dimensions of this machine ?
It’s a kubota b2650 it’s a 26hp it’s about 5’ in width
Trench = 410 sx

It loosens but looks like it still needs a bucket to clear as it goes, maybe behind the blade or a plow used together
akirony could try adding a (V) shape small plow at the top at the surface to push the dirt back might work
Nice shirt
