unverferth Zone-Builder Deep Ripper
The Zone Builder™ Deep Ripper is a heavy-duty strip-tillage implement designed to create clean, nutrient-ready seed zones while preserving residue between rows. Its rugged frame, adjustable row units, and deep tillage shanks break up soil compaction, improve root development, and promote uniform crop emergence across a variety of soil conditions.
Built for long-lasting durability, the Zone Builder™ offers adjustable tillage depth and row spacing to match specific field needs, with optional fertilizer placement for improved nutrient efficiency. By minimizing soil disturbance, it helps reduce erosion, conserve moisture, and support higher-yield conservation tillage practices.
