The John Deere 512 Subsoiler is a soil preparation and deep-tillage implement manufactured by John Deere, a leading builder of agricultural machinery serving crop production and land management. Subsoilers are used to break up and loosen compacted soil layers below the reach of conventional ploughs, improving drainage, root penetration, and overall soil structure for field crops.
This unit is configured as a 22.5-foot disc ripper with 11 working standards equipped with 7-inch sweeps. The machine features 24-inch discs and is designed with tandem axle suspension on both the main frame and the wing sections, which enhances stability and load distribution across variable terrain. The implement is foldable for transport and storage, and is fitted with swivel gauge wheels to control working depth. Road lights are included for highway operation.
Spring-release mechanisms are incorporated into each standard, allowing the tines to trip and flex if they encounter obstacles, reducing the risk of damage to the machine during operation. The tandem axle configuration and foldable wing design make this a robust setup suited to medium to large-scale field work.
This used machine is located in Quebec, Canada, and is presented in used condition. It was manufactured in 2011.
