The Clemens Bison Ripper is engineered to relieve deep soil compaction in vineyards and orchards—lifting and loosening soil up to 20 inches down—while preserving the surface layer and any cover crops. It’s the smart way to enhance drainage, root growth, and soil health.

Key Features & Construction

• Front Coulters: Cut cleanly through the soil, allowing the tines to penetrate with minimal resistance.

• Curved Bison Tines: Lift and fracture deep layers of compacted soil without disturbing the vineyard surface.

• Rear Hydraulic-Adjustable Roller: Smooths the surface for a clean finish and eliminates bumps or clods.

• Depth Penetration: Loosens soil up to 20 inches deep, restoring subsoil structure and improving infiltration.

Grower Benefits

• Improved Soil Health & Drainage: Loosening compaction promotes deeper rooting and better water movement.

• Protects Surface Cover Crops: Maintains soil cover and biodiversity while relieving compaction.

• Operational Efficiency: Leaves a smooth finish, reducing the need for additional leveling.

• Long-Term Vineyard Resilience: Healthy root zones contribute to stronger vines and consistent yields.

Ideal Applications

• Seasonal Soil Restoration: Use post-harvest or pre-budbreak for deep aeration.

• Cover Crop Systems: Perfect for vineyards practicing sustainable ground cover management.

• Challenging Soils: Effective on heavy clay or compacted ground where drainage is an issue.

• Soil Health Programs: Complements composting, mulching, and cover cropping practices.
