Figure 4a—Shank designs include: swept, straight or "L" shaped, semiparabolic, and parabolic. Shank design affects subsoiler performance, shank strength, surface and residue disturbance, effectiveness in fracturing soil, and the horsepower required to pull the subsoiler.
Shanks should be designed to handle rocks, large roots, and highly compacted soils. Shanks usually are from ¾ to 1½ inches thick. Thinner shanks are suited for agricultural use. Thicker shanks hold up better in rocky conditions, but require larger, more powerful equipment to pull them and disturb the surface more. Bent offset shanks, such as those found on Paratill subsoilers, have a sideways bend (figure 4b). Some testing has shown that bent offset shanks disturb surface residue less than straight shanks. The typical spacing is 30 to 42 inches between shanks. Shanks should be able to reach 1 to 2 inches below the deepest compacted layer.Figure 4b—Bent offset shank.
Shank spacing and height should be adjustable in the field. Towed subsoilers should have gauge wheels to control the shank's depth. 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. product listNO. | Name | PART NO. | MODAL | TOOTH POINT | PROTECTOR | U'WT(KG) |
