✅ Two Models Available
The Wild Imports Tractor Pipe Ripper is designed for installing underground irrigation and water supply pipes with minimal surface excavation. Suitable for 15–40 HP tractors, this practical agricultural attachment is ideal for farms, orchards, vineyards, livestock watering systems and rural properties. Available in two models, the RP-I accommodates pipes up to 50 mm diameter, while the larger RP-II handles pipes up to 80 mm. A simple and effective solution for establishing or extending underground water infrastructure in suitable ground conditions.
Product Overview
The Wild Imports Tractor Pipe Ripper is a practical agricultural attachment designed to simplify the installation of underground water pipes, irrigation lines and rural plumbing infrastructure.
Rather than excavating a conventional open trench, the Pipe Ripper is pulled through the ground behind a tractor, creating a narrow subsurface channel through which suitable piping can be installed.
This method can significantly reduce the amount of excavation, soil handling and backfilling required for suitable pipe installation projects.
Available in two models, the RP-I and RP-II, the Pipe Ripper is designed for use with tractors in the 15–40 HP range, making it suitable for smaller agricultural tractors commonly used on Australian farms and rural properties.
The RP-I accommodates pipes up to 50 mm diameter, while the larger RP-II accommodates pipes up to 80 mm diameter.
Both models feature a straightforward mechanical design, making them practical attachments for farmers, irrigation contractors, rural property owners and agricultural maintenance operations.
Applications and Uses
1. Agricultural Irrigation Systems
Install underground irrigation supply lines across paddocks, orchards, vineyards and agricultural properties. Particularly useful when establishing or extending farm irrigation networks.
2. Livestock Water Supply
Suitable for laying water supply pipes between storage tanks, pumps, troughs and livestock watering points.
3. Rural Property Water Infrastructure
Install water distribution lines connecting sheds, gardens, water tanks, pumps and other rural infrastructure.
4. Orchard and Vineyard Irrigation
Useful for establishing underground irrigation supply lines along orchard rows and vineyard access areas where minimising surface disturbance is desirable.
5. Farm Water Reticulation
Extend existing water distribution systems across paddocks and agricultural land without the need to excavate continuous open trenches.
6. Landscaping and Property Development
Suitable for installing compatible underground water pipes across lawns, gardens, landscaped areas and rural developments where soil conditions permit.
7. Irrigation Repairs and Extensions
A practical solution for adding new pipe runs or extending existing irrigation systems on established agricultural properties.
Key Features and Benefits
Reduced Excavation Requirements
The ripping action creates a narrow channel beneath the ground surface, potentially reducing the need for conventional trenching equipment.
Efficient Pipe Installation
In suitable ground conditions, underground piping can be installed along the required route with fewer separate excavation and backfilling operations.
Two Pipe Capacity Options
The RP-I handles pipes up to 50 mm diameter, while the RP-II accommodates larger pipes up to 80 mm diameter.
Tractor-Powered Operation
Designed for use with 15–40 HP tractors, providing a practical alternative to dedicated trenching machinery for appropriate applications.
Simple Mechanical Construction
The attachment uses a straightforward ripper-style structure without requiring a separate powered cutting mechanism.
Suitable for Rural Conditions
A useful addition to agricultural equipment fleets for property maintenance, irrigation work and water infrastructure installation.
Reduced Surface Disruption
Compared with conventional open trenching, pipe ripping can minimise the volume of excavated material and the subsequent restoration work.
Choosing the Right Model
RP-I – 50 mm Pipe Ripper
The RP-I is the smaller and lighter model, weighing just 45 kg.
Designed for pipes up to 50 mm diameter, it is suitable for smaller water distribution systems, irrigation supply lines and general rural property applications.
Its compact dimensions make it a practical option for smaller tractor operations and routine agricultural maintenance work.
Best suited to: Small farms, garden irrigation, livestock water lines and general rural water distribution.
RP-II – 80 mm Pipe Ripper
The RP-II is the larger model, featuring a heavier 90 kg structure and capacity for pipes up to 80 mm diameter.
It is intended for applications requiring larger water supply pipes, including agricultural irrigation infrastructure and farm water reticulation projects.
Best suited to: Larger irrigation supply lines, farm water infrastructure and agricultural pipe installation requiring greater pipe capacity.
Important Operating Considerations
Pipe ripping performance depends on soil conditions, moisture content, installation depth, pipe material and tractor traction.
Hard, rocky or heavily compacted ground may require additional tractor power, preliminary ripping or an alternative installation method.
Before commencing any underground installation, operators should identify existing underground utilities and confirm the required installation depth.
The manufacturer's supplied specifications do not confirm maximum ripping depth, hitch category or the exact pipe feeding arrangement. These details should be verified before purchase to ensure compatibility with the intended tractor and pipe installation requirements.
