Mingsin Professional Deep Tillage Subsoiler Series

What Is a Subsoiler?

A subsoiler or flat lifter is a tractor-mounted farm implement used for deep tillage loosening and breaking up soil at depths below the levels worked by moldboard plough, disc harrow, or rototiller. Most such tools will break up and turn over surface soil to a depth of 15–20 cm (5.9–7.9 in), whereas a subsoiler will break up and loosen soil to twice those depths.

A subsoiler is a type of tillage implement that’s used to break up compacted soil in an effort to improve the setting for growing crops. Frontier subsoilers can be attached to Mingsin equipment to penetrate 24 inches into the ground, which is an idea depth for ripping tree roots in a treeline as well as ripping hardpan in a trail. A compact utility tractor is best-suited to haul and host the subsoiler attachment.

The subsoiler consists of three or more heavy vertical shanks (standards) mounted on a toolbar or frame with share bolts. They can be operated at depths of 45–75 cm (18–30 in) or more. A ripper normally runs 35–45 cm (14–18 in) deep. Subsoiling is a slow operation and requires high power input: 60 to 100 hp to pull a single subsoil point through a hard soil.

Typically, a subsoiler mounted on a compact utility tractor will reach depths of about 30 cm (12 in) and have only one thin blade with a sharpened tip.  The points of the shanks are normally about 30 cm (12 in) wide and should be easy to replace. The condition of the points is very important: often the subsoiler fails to give good results due to the condition of its points. Points can be fitted with horizontal wings, about 30 cm (12 in) wide, which considerably increases the width of soil below ploughing depth loosened by the subsoiler.

Why should you rip hardpan in a trail?

Ripping hardpan in a trail or along a tree line is a great way to ensure the water that falls on the ground gets all the way down to the roots. Vegetation is much more likely to flourish as a result.

The subsolier is a tillage tool which will improve growth in all crops where soil compaction is a problem. In agriculture angled wings are used to lift and shatter the hardpan  that builds up due to compaction. The design provides deep tillage, loosening soil deeper than a tiller or plough is capable of reaching. Agricultural subsoilers can disrupt hardpan ground down to 60 cm (24 in) depths.

Why Should You Rip Hardpan in a Trail?

If you have a pasture that borders a dense treeline, there’s a good chance there are roots working their way into the soil where you are planting. Subsoiling can help to rip the roots that have worked their way in to keep the treeline in check and prevent them from robbing moisture from the pasture.

Why Should You Select Mingsin Subsoiler?

Mingsin developed subsoiler tool in parallel with the development of soil cultivation methods. The usage of this tool can be arranged as follows:
- It provides cultivating soil with low costs.
- It brightens hard plow pan occurring in the land.
- It protects moisture by providing that rain water is absorbed by the soil and it prevents soil erosion from the surface.
- It realizes air, water and plant communication in the soil in the best way. 

This tool’s members which operate with soil are produced by being applied heat treatment from the alloyed steel whose permanent resistance is high.
