DOYLE Ripper-Hiller (+ Roller)
This machine has been designed to replace a D8 dozer ripper-hiller, deep-ripping and hilling 2 tree-line rows at up to 3500mm bed spacings.
The machine will remove compaction in the root zone, create a seedbed shaped to your requirements and consolidate the seedbed to eliminate air pockets.
The tractor mounted unit (requires >300hp large framed tractor) can operate at travel speeds of up to 3x faster than a dozer mounted unit, and compared to a twin row-D8 mounted unit, has been found to use <15% of the fuel per hectare at an average work rate increase of >100% (+ 2x)
A typical work rate of 5.5ha/hr, fuel use of 22L/hr, and Adblue use of 2.3L/hr has been experienced behind a FENDT939.
This gain in efficiency meant the tractor mounted unit paid for itself in 1 year based on fuel use only!!
Plus, the machine folds to under 4.5m for faster and easier transport between sites, making the transport width narrower than a dual wheeled tractor on 710/60R42’s.
