need help selecting a disc ripper

Anonymous-0 · Aug 20, 2013

I recently purchased a Magnum 7140 and am now looking for a disc ripper to do my heavy tillage in the fall here in NW Ohio. I am probably looking to spend about $10,000 or so. What kind of experience could you share with me about this type and vintage equipment? Thanks in advance!

Probably a 5 shank model 527 DMI disc ripper is about all you will want to pull depending on the amount of compaction you have.discs in the front, 5 deep till shanks in the middle and closing discs on the rear. These can be had in decent shapefor under $10K. You will burn alot of fuel, and points are spendy depending on which configuration you need. We build ours up with pieces of truck springs. Hard stoney ground will wear out a set of points in 40-50 acres.
They do make a big difference, especially on end rows, and high traffic areas where the combines,grain carts run.

I pull a M&W 960 disk ripper with a 1586. It has a double disk setup up front and 4 shanks out back. Can set it to use both the disk and shanks or just the shanks. Sort of a dual purpose implement.
