From the NAIT Boreal Research Institute:
In this video, Dr. David McNabb, describes how 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.
This video shows how to properly use the RipPlow to adjust severely disturbed soil.
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.
