I was recently walking my fields with a state biologist and a Quail Unlimited officer. We were noticing the pull of the tree roots on my crops as we walked. One of these guys mentioned that there is an implement made to cut these roots around our field edges. I think it would be much like a one-tined V-Ripper. Does anyone know of such an implement? What is it called and who has it?

Steve,
You have answered your own question correctly. It is a single shank subsoiler. Pull it parallel to the woods and it will prune the tree roots and stop the trees from undermining the fields.

Depending on soil conditions, the sub soiler could be hard to pull and may wear the point rapidly. If the roots that you are going to cut are very large I suggest that you make multiple passes in the same slot going deeper with each trip. You may break some shear bolts based on the design of the sub soiler. Observe the point condition on the foot and if it wears significant, I suggest that you install a new one before returning it to the man that was kind enough to loan the implement to you. This way you will be welcome to borrow it again in the future if the need arises and the owner will know that you appreciated his generosity.
