Deep ripping, disking and ploughing each play a different role in preparing paddocks for agricultural use. Deep ripping works below the surface to address compacted layers where ground conditions make that approach useful. Before proposing deep ripping, it is useful to understand whether compaction is present and whether soil moisture and existing ground conditions will allow effective treatment. Disking works the upper soil and may form part of seedbed preparation or cultivation. Ploughing turns soil and can be discussed when that operation fits the intended farming approach. The best sequence depends on the property's current use, soil type, surface stone and what the landowner plans to establish afterwards. Our 300 HP Case tractor supports suitable field preparation work with available implements. Where surface rocks could interfere with cultivation, rock picking
may be worth discussing first. We work with landowners to plan the field preparation needed for their next agricultural activity, with attention to soil condition, paddock access and the intended cultivation process.
