luckyDigge 4 #1 Posted November 4, 2023 I don't know if this is something made by Toro. But if it is I'd like to know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moparfanforever 846 #2 Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Don't think Toro made it, but it is a ground ripper,that is what it looks like to me. They normally have a curved sharp point that goes in the ground. It is used to tear up hard pan ground. Edited November 4, 2023 by Moparfanforever 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,520 #3 Posted November 4, 2023 We have this one for a Garden Tractor. It's about 16" long. The one pictured in the first post looks VERY large in comparison. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luckyDigge 4 #5 Posted November 5, 2023 Thank you for the information. It probably is part of my grandfather's Ventrac. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,232 #7 Posted November 5, 2023 Subsoilers can be “exciting" to use in rocky or heavily rooted ground--either can bring forward progress to an abrupt halt and possibly break things. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely agreed. The trick on possible rough ground is to start shallow and work down in small increments. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
