I know differnt pieces of iron are called differnt things in differnt areas but around here what I have always heard called a subsoiler is a long straight shank with a big shoe on the bottom and it brings every thing 2' down up to the top. Some contraptions I have heard called a ripper don't have as big of shanks and alot smaller shoe on'm. Any ground I have ever seen that was subsoiled had huge ridges in it and had to be worked down in the spring. Depending on how they are set up some rippers will do this and some will not. Most of the ones used around here in min-till or even strip till situations are the disk rippers, they leave most of the residue inplace. People then can come back in the spring and not till over where it has been. I am thinking that a rule of thumb is around 50 hp/shank.
