COMBAT ACID
BUILD-UP
IN SOIL
WITH
RIP MAX
A
cid build-up in soil is a growing
concern to farmers world-wide. It
has a detrimental effect on your crop’s
yield and the general health of your
soil. Rip Max is the best solution for deep soil
treatment.
Lime or gypsum can now be precisely placed up to
900 mm deep into the soil. The solution consists
of a towable trailer with a metering and pneumatic
conveying system which transfers lime, gypsum or
other particle material to the specially developed
applicator subsoiler tines.
The applicator tines mix the particles thoroughly
into the soil to ensure the accurate placement of
lime, gypsum or other particles into the targeted
soil.
Unlike a moldboard plow, the applicator tines don’t
turn the soil over or bring soil from the bottom
profile to the surface. The system is designed to
attach to the standard Rula Agri Rip Max rippers,
but can be attached to your existing ripper.
