Frontline Heavy Duty V-Ripper, 5-Shank 12Ft Frame

The Frontline VR534 Heavy Duty V-Ripper is a serious deep-tillage tool built to fracture compacted soil, improve drainage, and boost root development across large acreages. Featuring a 12 ft frame with 5 heavy-duty shanks, this ripper is designed to break through tough soil layers at depths up to 27" or even 34", depending on shank configuration. The parabolic shank design with heat-treated points ensures efficient soil lifting and fracturing without excessive surface disturbance. Built on a reinforced tubular steel frame and equipped with shear bolt protection, the VR534 is made to handle demanding conditions while protecting your equipment—because when the ground is hard, you need something tougher than it is.
