Opening and fracturing of sod creating a storage area for trapping rain water and surface nutrients (including manure) carried down into the root zone by the water and allowing oxygen into the roots.

All resulting in deeper feeding roots that are healthy and survive drier conditions producing more crop.

Coulter blades vertically adjust to allow clean-cut slice through roots.

Unique ripping foot designed to penetrate below coulter and cut approximately 5-½ inch average depth with a draft and lifting action of the sod and with minimum surface disturbance.

Alternating staggered shanks 8 inches forward and back allows the leading shank to move sod slightly over in one direction and the “following” shank to move it in opposite direction creating a thorough fracturing renovation of the sod. Mellow, high production sod is created.
