Ultra-Deep Ripping

Enhance your farm’s productivity with the Nufab Deep Ripper—a high-performance deep tillage implement made in Western Australia for superior soil amelioration, delving, compaction relief, and improved subsoil moisture retention.

Purpose-built to suit the challenging soil types of Western and South Australia, the Nufab Deep Ripper is the preferred choice for broadacre farming, cropping enterprises, and precision agriculture operations. Its advanced features and robust Australian engineering make it a reliable tool for improving soil health and consistently boosting crop yields by 1 to 2 tonnes per hectare. Some machines have completed well in excess of 40,000 hours, out lasting multiple tractors.

Key Features of the Nufab Deep Ripper:

1. Rip Deep – Up to 800mm Soil Penetration

Designed for effective deep ripping, this implement penetrates to 800mm, breaking hardpans and compacted layers to promote root development, increase water infiltration, and unlock subsoil nutrients.

2. Built Tough for Australian Conditions

• High-tensile steel shanks
• Heavy-duty toolbars
• Tungsten hard-faced blades
• Up to 2500 psi working pressure
• These components provide long-term durability and high performance in dryland, sandy, or clay-rich soils.

3. Hydraulic Hi-Jump System

Nufab’s innovative two-stage hydraulic jump system delivers:

• Stage 1 lift up to 340mm
• Stage 2 lift up to 730mm

This system allows efficient breakout when hitting obstacles and reduces re-entry delays—ensuring maximum field productivity.

4. Optional Shank Spacing & Tyne Options

The Nufab Deep Ripper offers shank spacing and multiple tyne configuration options to suit different soil types, depth requirements, and farming systems. This ensures maximum versatility across varying paddock conditions.

You can enhance your setup with:

• Delving tynes – Ideal for deep subsoil disturbance, lifting clay through the profile, and increasing moisture-holding capacity in sandy soils. A powerful option for soil amelioration in sandplain and duplex soils.
• Shallow leading tynes – Used ahead of the main shank to fracture surface layers, reduce draft, and promote better soil flow and re-entry efficiency. Especially useful in heavier soils where crusting or sealing can inhibit deep penetration.

These custom options allow for a more targeted approach to improvement, enabling farmers to address compaction, enhance root zone development, and tailor their tillage depth based on crop type and soil condition.

5. Inclusion Plates – Subsoil Amendment Technology (Topsoil Slotting Plates)

In collaboration with DAFWA and tested by UniSA, Nufab’s Inclusion Plate technology allows you to place lime, gypsum, organic matter, or fertiliser directly into the tyne slot. This deep placement:

• Improves soil structure
• Encourages microbial activity
• Enhances subsoil pH correction
• Increases yield potential

This feature makes it a standout tool for precision subsoil improvement in Australian cropping systems.

6. Hydraulic Crumble Roller (Optional)

The optional down-pressure hydraulic crumble roller enables surface tilth management in a single pass, ideal for seedbed preparation and erosion control.

7. Easy Maintenance & Operator-Friendly Design

• Instant return-to-work position reduces delay
• Level-lift configuration ensures consistent rip depth
• Hydraulic controls for intuitive operation and adjustments
