4830 Series 4830-538R
The KUHN Krause 4830 in-line ripper is the ideal tool to fight soil compaction, one of the leading causes of yield reduction. With working depths of 8” to 16”, the 4830 provides maximum soil fracturing, while allowing crop residue to remain undisturbed on the surface. This allows for greater root development and water infiltration into the soil, and effectively reduces runoff and soil erosion. KUHN Krause 4830 in-line rippers are available in 4- to 7-shank rigid models and 6- to 9-shank flat folding models, with shank spacing choices of 30”, 36”, 38” or 40”. The unique 180-degree, flat-fold configuration makes transport and storage more convenient. The 4830 can be equipped with spring reset shanks or rigid, shear-bolt protected shanks for soils where rock is not a concern. There are a variety of points available depending on your agronomic needs. - Less

Features
3-POINT OR PULL-TYPE
3-Point or Pull-Type Configurations
3-Point Hitch
Designed for deep tillage with strength and durability in mind. This Category III, 3-point hitch is integrated into a two-bar frame design with main members of heavy-duty, 6”x6” structural steel tubing.
Drawbar Pull-Hitch (Small Frame)
The optional drawbar pull-hitch lets you match tractors, not equipped with 3-point hitches, to the 4830 in-line ripper. Equipped with four 280/70 R 15 tires, the drawbar hitch provides excellent field flotation and depth control.
Drawbar Pull-Hitch (Large Frame)
The optional drawbar pull-hitch lets you match tractors, not equipped with 3-point hitches, to the 4830 in-line ripper. Four 280/70 R15 tires rear and (2) 280/70 R15 tires on front mounted gauge wheels.
SHANK MOUNTS
Shank Mounts to Match Your Field Conditions
Shear-Bolt
Rigid, shear-bolt mounts are an economical choice for soils where rocks or other obstacles are not a concern. Shear-bolt protection guards against shank damage from unexpected obstacles.
- Shear force: 10,000 pounds (approximate)
- 16” maximum shank working depth
- For non-rock conditions
Spring Reset
Recommended for field conditions where obstacles or rocks may be encountered. A 4”x4” welded tube provides strength.
- 2,500 pound point load
- 20” trip height
- 16” maximum shank working depth
- 36” underframe clearance
PathFind’R™
Exclusive pivoting design allows the shank to deflect up to 6 degrees on each side for a total of 12 degrees of movement.
- Basic spring reset design
- Makes deep ripping possible on contours or terraces
- Deflects impacts improving performance in rocky soils
- Smoother steering under full power with tracked tractors
- Reduces stress on implement frame and 3-point tractor hitch
- Not compatible with pull-type hitch
- 20” trip height
- 16” maximum shank working depth
- 36” underframe clearance
