2100 Minimum-Till Ripper
UNBEATABLE COMPACTION FIGHTER
The John Deere 2100 Minimum-Till Ripper fractures yield-robbing compaction while preserving residue levels in your no-till or minimum-till fields. Available in a variety of configurations. The 2100 is available in a 3- or 5-standard configuration on 30- or 36-in. (76.2- or 91.4 cm) spacing, 4-standard configuration on 30-in. (76.2-cm) spacing 7-standard configuration on 30-in. (76.2-cm), 9-standard 30-in. (76.2-cm) folding models. Thin, ¾-in. (1.9-cm) ripper standards slice cleanly through the soil as deep as 16 in. (40.6-mm). Fuel-saving wing design. Our wing design is optimized for fuel efficiency. Ripper point and coulter options. The tough 7- and 10-in.(17.8 cm to 25.4 cm) minimum till ripper points shatter deep compaction. The 2.5-in. (6.4-cm) wingless points are designed for ultra-low disturbance. A smooth, spring-cushioned 22-in (55.9-cm) coulter produces the least amount of soil and residue disturbance. Choose a 22-in (5.59-cm) rippled coulter for more movement.
Firm and level the soil. The optional rear closing wheels set back behind each standard feature 250 lbs. (113 kg) of down-pressure and can be slid in or out and angled from 0 to 15 degrees to match varying field conditions. Adjustable stabilizer wheels. Two adjustable stabilizer wheels are included as base equipment, ensuring straight travel and added frame support. No tools are required to adjust the stabilizer wheel height. Quick and easy connections. Connections between your tractor and the 2100’s rugged frame are quick and easy with a Category 2, 3 or 3N hitch (with Quick-Coupler.)
913 AND 915 V-Ripper
RIP COMPACTION TO SHREDS
John Deere rippers give you successful subsoiling without big plugging problems- even in heavy residue. Rippled coulter blades. Slice through surface residue to help reduce plugging with rippled coulter blades. Rippers for smaller fields and lower HP tractors. For smaller fields and lower-horsepower tractors, choose the 3-shank 913. A soil probe comes standard on the 913 and 915 to help you determine the depth of compaction layers in your fields. The standard choice for compaction relief. Picking the right standards for your fields can make a big difference when you’re fighting compaction. The standards you select impact numerous performance issues, including the depth at which you rip, the soil types and field conditions you can run in, the effectiveness of weed kill, and the amount of residue disturbance. But you can be sure when you choose genuine John Deere standards, as well as ripper points and sweeps, you’ll get the quality you need to get the job done right.
