Much like roots constrained within a small container, your performance would be hindered if you were forced to live and work daily in cramped spaces. Yields are adversely affected when compaction restricts root growth into the subsoil, limiting their access to vital nutrients and water. Unverferth's Zone-Builder® subsoiler provides a solution, allowing plants to extend their roots and stretch their legs by creating pathways through the hardpan with minimal disruption to the surface. Extensive research conducted by universities over the long term has confirmed that deep-tilling methods like those employed by the Zone-Builder implement can lead to increased yields and income.
Choose from three Zone-Builder subsoiler models tailored to your specific soil conditions:
Model 132: Features an auto-reset shank that trips rearward and upward from a single pivot point, making it ideal for use in rocky, hard soils. It maintains a trip pressure of 6,000 lbs. for consistent working depth.
Straight-leg shank design creates passages that allow plant roots, soil moisture, and nutrients to penetrate the subsoil while minimizing surface soil disruption.
Capable of slicing up to 20" deep, effectively addressing deep compaction issues.
Robust 3/4" thick high-stress, forged-alloy shanks offer maximum strength with minimal surface disturbance.
Heat-treated, austempered 1-3/4" wide replaceable points excel at breaking through hardpan layers.
Points feature a raised-center, tapered design for reduced soil disruption at higher speeds.
The heavy-duty, double-frame, all-welded construction includes a 6"x6" rearbar and 38" underframe clearance to facilitate optimal residue flow.
Standard tool-free adjustable stabilizer wheels equipped with stubble-resistant tires ensure a consistent working depth.
Front-mounted swivel coulters deliver 1,500 lbs. of downpressure, effortlessly cutting through even the toughest residue. These coulters feature heavy-duty 6-bolt hubs with recessed endcaps and ride on a lip for increased durability.
Models are available with 2-16 shanks and are finished with a powder-coat coating in your choice of red or green.
