Field Wave - Pre-Ripper

Breaks the Pan so Your Cultivation Gear can do its Job

The Pre-Ripper shatters soil compaction at depth so Speed Discs and Harrows can get in and do the work they're built to, instead of fighting a hard pan underneath. Less diesel burned re-doing passes, more paddock producing.

Cultivation Partner

Works with your Speed Discs or Harrows to deliver deep soil penetration that improves drainage, root growth and crop yields.

Break Plough Pans

Up to 200mm working depth allows crop roots, oxygen and nutrients to penetrate deeper than your exisiting cultivation gear works.

Reduce Tractor hours

Mounts directly to tractor 3 Point Linkage and tows your cultivation equipment, increasing the effectiveness of each single pass.

01
Heavy Duty Build

Built from high-tensile steel for high-horsepower tractors, the Pre-Ripper has the strength to tow your speed discs or harrows behind it, so one pass does two jobs.
02
Shear Bolt Leg Protection

A heavy-duty shear bolt on each leg gives way if it strikes rock or a stump, protecting the frame from costly damage and allowing quick repairs in the paddock.
03
Implement Towing Points

Multi-hole tow profiles let you hitch cultivation gear on a two-point linkage or a single tow pin, so the Pre-Ripper works with the implements you already own.
04
Breaks Plough Pans to 200mm

Legs work up to 200mm deep to fracture plough pans, letting roots, water and oxygen move below where your discs reach, for better drainage and stronger crops.
05
Modular Leg & Cast Point

A bolt-together leg, foot and point assembly with a cast point and bevelled wear plate means worn parts are replaced individually, keeping running costs down.

Match the leg count to your tractor's horsepower and the ground you're working, more legs means more pull required. Keep an eye on the shear bolts after hitting buried rock or debris.

Customer story

Proven in the paddock

Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.

“It does the cracking down below. It leaves all the clay down the bottom and doesn't bring anything up. I found that to be very good.”
