FRAME
TILLAGE WITH A PURPOSE
Yields suffer when compaction prevents plant roots from growing freely throughout the soil in search of moisture and nutrients. The Unverferth Zone-Builder® subsoiler lets plants stretch their legs (and their roots) by opening passageways through the hardpan with minimal soil disturbance.
MODELS
The Zone-Builder Subsoiler is available in 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-shanks with a rigid frame or 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, 13- and 16-shanks with a folding frame. Depending on the number of shanks, 24”, 30”, 36”, 38”, 40” and 60” row-spacings are available.
CONSTRUCTION
The heavy-duty, double frame with 6” x 6” rear mounting bar provides years of maximum durability when traveling in and out of the field. The frame is powder-coated in your choice of tractor red or green on all sizes for a long-lasting finish.
3-POINT HITCH
Depending on model, the Zone-Builder has different hitch styles which include 3-point hitch, quick attach hitch and narrow quick attach hitch. When pulling with oscillating 4WD track tractors, choose the optional 3-point implement caddy to reduce side stress on the frame.
STABILIZER WHEELS
Stabilizer wheels with 6-bolt hubs provide added stability and tool-free adjustment for quick and convenient depth adjustment in the field. Rigid models utilize 7.60 x 15 8-ply tires, folding models up to 25’ working width utilize 9.5L x 15 8-ply and folding models with 12 to 16 row 30’-40‘ working widths utilizes 12.5L x 15 10-ply tires.
