4880 Series
Landbuilder Disc Ripper

Features

5 - Shank, 12' 6"
7 - Shank, 17' 6"

The Krause 4880 Series Landbuilder penetrates up to 16" deep, shattering yield robbing compaction layers and improving soil moisture infiltration.

Two Sizes

5 shank model (4885) with a 12'6" working width
7 shank model (4887) with a 17'6" working width

Both Landbuilder models offer advanced features like independently adjustable hydraulic disc gangs and heavy duty walking beam tandem axles as standard equipment.

Krause's disc-shank-disc configuration results in a more level field finish that requires fewer trips in the spring for seedbed preparation. Using the Landbuilder for primary tillage and following it with a Krause Landstar or Landsman one-pass tool provides a Profit-Till system that saves precious time, labor and trips across the field... while producing an ideal seedbed!

The Landbuilder's massive main frame features 6" x 6" x 3/8" outer members with 5" x 4" inner front to rear beams.

Shanks beams are also constructed of 6" x 6" material. Disc gangs cut and penetrate crop residue and offer a range of working depth from 8" to 16" above the ripper shanks. The massive spring reset ripper shanks (on 30" spacing) penetrate up to 16" deep to fracture hardpan and shatter compacted layers. Following the ripper shanks the rear disc gangs blend soil and residue while leveling.

Easily adjusted front and rear disc gangs.

The Landbuilder's front and rear disc gangs are easily adjusted for cutting angle. Front gangs offer a choice of 15 or 20 degree cutting angle and rear gangs offer three choices, 10, 15 or 20 degrees. Just think of the advantage this provides over machines with "fixed angle" individual discs or gangs. You control the amount of crop residue remaining in the field. Adjustments are made quickly and easily with the tie rod wrench provided on each unit.

Spring Reset Ripper Shanks penetrate up to 16" deep and boast an impressive 3,000 lb. point load and 22" obstacle trip height. Shank material is 1 1/4" thick with a 4" profile. This massive shank's 40 inches of underframe clearance aids in smooth residue flow. The ripper shanks feature a standard 2 1/2" x 12" subsoil point and replaceable chromium carbide wear bar.

The Landbuilder's rugged tongue features a long, narrow design for interference free turning.


A-frame Tongue Designs

Massive A-frame design incorporates an extra-wide connecting beam to the main frame for added strength. Hitch is self-leveling with turnbuckle adjustment for fine tuned front to rear leveling. Handy hose end storage slots keep hydraulic tips up and out of the dirt when unit is not in use.

Built with the same components we use in our heaviest disc harrows, the Landbuilder features shock absorbing RockFlex bearing arms and triple-lip regreasable Super Seal Bearings. For even more protection against shock loads, the Super Seal bearings are encased in a 1/2" thick rubber boot inside the ductile iron housing. Krause factory assembled disc gangs feature heavy-duty 1 3/4" diameter alloy tie rods, precision machined 11" ductile iron spools and quality American made 24" disc blades.

Straight from Krause's heaviest disc line, these big walking tandem assemblies are standard on both 5 and 7 shank models. Extra-large 31" x 13.5", 8-ply tires provide extra flotation in soft field conditions. Wheel hubs and walking tandem assemblies feature heavy-duty greasable tapered roller bearings for long life. Walking tandems smooth out rough fields and keep unit working level.

The Landbuilder's rear disc gangs offer three angle adjustment choices (10, 15 and 20 degrees), to control the amount of surface residue remaining. Heavy-duty disc scrapers mount directly from the Rock-Flex bearing arms and are angled rearward for excellent trash flow. Scrapers are standard equipment on both front and rear disc gangs.
