Product Description

Gearmore Medium Duty Tractor Spader | Model VM6-170 | Working Width 66" | 60 HP | For 3-Point Hitch Tractor


DESCRIPTION

The Gearmore VM6-170 Medium Duty Spader is a high-performance agricultural tillage implement designed for deep soil cultivation, vertical tillage, and soil aeration in farms, vineyards, orchards, and other agricultural applications. Featuring a 66-inch spading width and 8 heavy-duty spades, it penetrates compacted soil to an approximate depth of 12 inches, loosening hard ground without mixing the subsoil with valuable topsoil. Its 3-speed gearbox offers selectable operating speeds of 145, 166, and 191 RPM, providing flexibility for different soil conditions. Designed for tractors with up to 60 HP, it features a Category I 3-point hitch, 540 RPM PTO compatibility, adjustable depth skids, and a rear tailboard for controlled soil finishing. The Gearmore VM6-170 helps improve soil aeration, moisture retention, drainage, and erosion control, delivering reliable performance for demanding agricultural soil preparation.

Key Features

  • 66-Inch Spading Width: Covers a generous 66-inch working width, making it suitable for efficient soil cultivation across farms, vineyards, orchards, and agricultural fields.
  • 60 HP Tractor Compatibility: Designed for tractors with a maximum horsepower capacity of 60 HP, delivering dependable performance for medium-duty agricultural tillage applications.
  • 8 Heavy-Duty Spades: Equipped with eight vertical spading elements that penetrate compacted soil, break up hard ground, and create a loose, workable soil structure.
  • 12-Inch Deep Soil Cultivation: Reaches an approximate working depth of 12 inches, helping loosen compacted ground while maintaining separation between topsoil and subsoil.
  • 3-Speed Gearbox: Features a convenient three-speed gearbox with selectable operating speeds of 145, 166, and 191 RPM to accommodate different soil conditions and cultivation requirements.
  • Vertical Tillage Technology: Uses a straight-down digging and soil-turning action to improve soil structure without excessively mixing valuable topsoil with underlying subsoil.
  • Category I 3-Point Hitch: Designed with a Category I three-point hitch connection for compatible agricultural tractors, providing secure implement attachment and convenient operation.
  • 540 RPM PTO Compatibility: Operates with a standard 540 RPM tractor PTO system to transfer power efficiently to the gearbox and spading mechanism.
  • Adjustable Depth Skids: Includes adjustable skids that allow operators to control working depth according to soil conditions and specific cultivation requirements.
  • Adjustable Rear Tailboard: Features an adjustable rear tailboard to help manage soil movement and produce a more controlled, consistent cultivated surface.
  • Steel Soil Side Plates: Incorporates durable steel side plates that help contain soil within the working area during spading operations.
  • Class 5 Driveshaft: Equipped with a Class 5 driveshaft and slip clutch to provide reliable PTO power transmission and added drivetrain protection during operation.
  • Improved Soil Aeration: Breaks up dense soil layers and creates a loose soil texture, improving air movement and supporting healthier growing conditions.
  • Enhanced Moisture Retention: Produces a cultivated soil structure that helps retain moisture and reduce erosion, supporting productive agricultural land management.
  • Versatile Agricultural Applications: Ideal for farms, vineyards, orchards, and other agricultural environments requiring effective deep digging and soil preparation.

Customer photo review of Ranew Outdoors Firminator G3 Planter 4ft, 5ft, 6ft & 8ft | 3 in 1 Food Plot Implement | 3pt Planter | Discs, Seeder & Cultipacker | For Tractor

The week before leaving for my mule deer hunt in Wyoming, I seeded the area surrounding the new runway at Wertheimer Airport in Norman. This past Tuesday, I returned to finish the job and was pleased to see that the seed I planted just two weeks earlier was already germinating and coming up nicely. These pictures show the freshly seeded areas alongside those planted two weeks ago. It’s a great comparison and a good example of what proper seedbed preparation and planting can accomplish. I used my Ferminator G-3, which is one impressive piece of equipment. It prepares the seedbed, plants the seed, smooths the soil, and firms everything up for good seed-to-soil contact—all in one efficient operation. I’ve owned and operated several no-till drills over the years, but I can say without hesitation that the Ferminator is the most efficient and versatile seeding machine I’ve ever owned. There’s something pretty satisfying about returning to a job and seeing those first green shoots coming through the ground. That’s when you know your hard work is paying off!

Customer photo review of Forax Gas Powered Mulcher | Model GP40 | 40" Cutting Width | 14-15 HP | For Tractors

Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops. Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

Cole 12 MX Multiflex Planter | Model B46-664A / 0120103 | Width 13" | Size: One Row | 3PT Hitch Planter Attachment | Horsepower 25–45 HP | For Tractor

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Ranew Outdoor Firminator Rototiller | RT Series | Working Width 4', 6' & 8' | Tiller, Seeder & Cultipacker | Horsepower 24–55 HP | For Tractors

It’s built solid. It handles Field grass hip high pretty well. With the maintaining the field grass after the first cut, the pasture field is starting to look like a lawn. The 84 inch with the best thing to get for 8 acres. It’s best to order belts for back up in the event if the belts were to break. But overall, I like the product quality is good.

Farm-Maxx Grooming Mower | FMR Series | Working Width 48", 60", 72" & 84" | 15-50 HP | For Tractors

When I think of ripping it outdoors something else comes to mind, but I digress. This spreader is awesome. Works like a champ. The hopper is big enough to do my 1 acre lot for my applications. Just load once and go. I would highly recommend this spreader. It saves a ton of time and is a quality product.
