I have a customized 2 shank Unverferth ripper/stripper to go through my field driveways after harvest.

This tool has a 3/4" narrow shank that penetrates 12 inches deep and has a 2-inch wide wavy coulter on either side of the shank. This keeps soil from being thrown away from the shank and chops it up a bit.

A 12-inch wide rolling basket follows to further break up clods. I am able to plant behind this without needing to disk.
