From the NAIT Boreal Research Institute:
This video shows how to properly use the RipPlow to adjust severely disturbed soil. The NAIT Boreal Research Institute in Peace River is using the RipPlow® to test the restoration of soil quality on decommissioned wellsites and the capability of the sites to support sustainable vegetation covers that is comparable to adjacent (off lease) control.
A wide range of teeth, shank spacing, and tooth modifications are used by companies to till disturbed soil.
The RipPlow® was developed to plow through topsoil without inverting the soil profile and create the large voids necessary to allow the freeze/thaw to restructure the entire tillage zone.
