Frontline V-Ripper, 5-Shank 70" Frame

The R5-70 Frontline V-Ripper is a deep-tillage powerhouse designed to break up hard, compacted soil and improve ground conditions where standard implements fall short. Built with a heavy tubular steel frame and multiple heat-treated shanks, this ripper penetrates up to 18" deep, helping loosen soil, improve drainage, and promote better root growth. With shear-bolt protected shanks and replaceable points, it’s made to handle tough ground—because sometimes the soil needs a little convincing.
