Over 45 Years of Dependable Equipment for Progressive Farming
Rip Strip - Generation II
Rip Strip - Generation II The design of the KMC Generation II Rip Strip is the culmination of many years experience as the leader in marketing equipment for sub soiling under the row and preparing an ideal in row seed zone in heavy residue conditions while leaving row middles undisturbed. 
Key Features 
  • A spring loaded, Swivel Coulter effectively slices through crop residue allowing row components to run clean through tall standing grain crops or heavy crop residue. 
  • Shank Mounting Brackets mount across the diamond of the 7 x 7 inch tool bar for a secure connection that prevents shanks from “walking” on the tool bar. 
  • Shear bolt trip Ripper Shanks are available in ¾” or 1 ¼” thick, high strength alloy steel, wear guard protected and they provide a range of sub soiling depth from 10” to 17”.  The shank pivot bolt is positioned to virtually eliminate “pole vaulting” the tool bar in order to reduce wear on row components.  The shear bolt is positioned for ease of replacement.  Reset On the Go Shanks are optional. 
  • Parallel Linkage provides a wide range of flotation for row components and is attached to the shank mounting bracket rather than the shank to prevent wear on row components caused by “snatching” when the shank trips.  Wrench less adjustable pressure springs provide from 0 to 550 pounds extra pressure on tillage components to provide an ideal seed zone for light or tough soil conditions. 
  • A complete line of optional Row Tillage Components (waffle tillage coulters, press wheels, crumblers, and  rollers) is available to match field conditions and customer preference.  Rigid, Over Center Fold, or Stack Fold Tool Bars are heavy-duty double frame construction with 7 x 4 x 3/8” hitch bar and 7 x 7 x 3/8” main tool bar, and are available for various row configurations from 2 to 12 row.  
  • All the row components are designed and positioned to allow for easy and clean trash flow in tall standing cover crop or heavy crop residue. 
  • A complete line of Accessories (Gauge Wheels, Planter Lift Assist Wheels, Helper Wheels, Row Markers, Row Cleaners, and planter attaching Reach Arms)  is provided to complete the unit for almost any application.
