I am looking for something to loosen up some no-till ground. I don"t want to disturb the surface too much. Most new type subsoilers are for very large tractors and I have 60hp. I need to go about 14" deep. Mostly clay soils in west-central NC. What type implement would work best, how many shanks?

Trent, I would rent a bigger tractor and subsoiler or hire it done.
In the end you will come out ahead. Fuel, time and anything that IS going to break if you use a small 1 shank ripper.

Just go to TSC or any other farm store you have and buy a single shank subsoiler built for a cat 1 tractor, use when ground is completely dry and in a couple of months the small ridge they or any and all subsoilers will make after some rains you will never know you were through there with it.

You might want a real thin shank like some of the Brillion models mentioned at the other forum. They try not to disturb the surface at all, but rip pretty deep to break up the plow pan & allow nutrients & water to get down deep.

Like they said, 2 shanks could be a lot to pull for 60 hp, perhaps just one. This type of soil loosening takes some real power.

Yup around here they have to losen it up once in a while also.

Subsoiler would be best but unless you can find a 2 shank you may have to rent a tractor to go along with a 4 or 5 shank.

Or just hire the whole job done for you.
