DELEKS 7.5cm Tractor Ripper & Pipe Layer D‑DR60

If you've ever opened a trench by hand to run a water line out to a field trough, the D-DR60 will feel like a fair trade. It rips a slot up to 60 cm deep and guides flexible pipe or armoured cable in behind the blade, all in one pass. Lift out at the end of the run, drive the tyres back over the line, and the ground closes up neat.

How a run actually goes

Drop the linkage as you ease forward and let the blade bite to the depth you've set. Feed the pipe or cable down the chute as the tractor walks the line — realistically a two-person job, one driving, one feeding. Usual working depth is around 45 cm; 60 cm is there if soil and tractor allow.

Pipe layer off, ripper on

Unbolt the chute section and you've got a stand-alone subsoiler for breaking pan and easing compacted gateways. The single blade is reversible — flip it when one edge dulls, replace it when both are gone.

Setting working depth

Depth is set by unbolting the ripper section and repositioning it on the leg. No shims, no guesswork — pick your height for the run and bolt it back up.
