Degelman's New Heavy Duty Staggered Ripper has a number of new features as described by Senior Design Engineer Lyndon Maurer. The Heavy Duty Staggered Ripper is available between 9 and 15 shanks, with 20 or 30 inch spacing, with a staggered shank layout which sets it apart from its competition. The staggered design helps trash clearance which reduces plugging and lower draft compared to an inline ripper.
