The new machine announcement on the Deere website explains some of the unique features offered within the 2720 Ripper as Deere expands its stock of agricultural equipment. The machine uses a combination disk-ripper-disk configuration to cut, size, and bury reside; penetrate the soil; and level the field all in one pass. The 2720 Disk Ripper also includes a new gang design with heavier C-springs, thicker gang tubes, and the largest gang bolt in the industry. The Ripper is available in four widths: 12 ft. 6 in., 17 ft. 6 in., 22 ft. 6 in., and 27 ft. 6 in., depending on the size that best fits a producer's farm size and tractor horsepower.
