Subsoiler Shank With Wear Down Tips, Rear Wings
New subsoiler shanks from "down under" have several unique features that inventor Allan Yeomans says make them "one of the best tillage tools in the world". Yeomans' shanks are available in the U.S. from Fertility Implements, Bass, Ark.
The shank features innovative knock-on points with replaceable "wear down" tips. The tips simply slip into the end of the ."frog" at the bottom of the shank. As the point wears down, you pull it out, slip in a new point, and then insert what's left of the old point in the end of the new point. The "leap frog" system means nothing is ever wasted. The entire point wears away and you just keep adding new points. It can be adapted to existing subsoiler shanks.
Yeomans' new shank also feature a rear mounting system for attaching ridge wings, seed boots, anhydrous knives or cultivator shovels. By attaching a winged rear-mount blade near the top of the shank, you can run the subsoiler through a standing crop and both subsoil and cultivate at the same time. Depth of the rear blade is easily adjustable.
The Yeomans shank sells for $430 and adapts to any 4-in. toolbar. Yeomans sells a rear blade and mounting bracket for $74 per row.
