More Information
In 2012 The concept “Riptill” was born. The difference between Riptill (300mm and deeper) and Striptill(0 to 300mm), where you have the same seedbed on your topsoil as that of striptilling, but a deeper loosening of under soil. From thereon, their range of tillage equipment expanded and Christine Bouwer(Botha) started Ripper Tillage Equipment in 2013.
As the demand grew for Conservation Tillage, so did the family business expanded and is now one of the favourite suppliers of tillage equipment in the agricultural sector. Most of their tillage equipment is custom made to the farmer’s soil conditions and requirements.
Christine Bouwer(Botha) is the technical Marketer of the company and work closely with the farmers in the field through a consultative approach
