What is the difference between a 'ripper' and a 'sub soiler'? Could a MF135 handle a single tine(?) sub soiler?

Thanks

Where I live, rippers tend to be on bulldozers, subsoilers are used on farm tractors. As to actual differences, I don't think there's much. An MF135, properly weighted, can pull a 1-shank subsoiler. We have an old Ferguson 1-shank that my grandfather pulled with an MF65 (no trouble there at all in most conditions). My great uncle would borrow that subsoiler once in a while and the only tractor he had with 3-pt was an MF 135.

Thanks for that bit of information. I've read some good things about a sub-soiler and thought I might sub-soil a few acres as an experiment.

Just happened to be cruising by the used tractor dealer today. Had MF175 and MF178 on the lot, sure looked good. Of course the normal response one might expect from the wife, "You need another tractor like a pig needs a side-saddle"!!

Thanks again for the response and have a good day.
