DELMADE Twin Spring Release Subsoiler
Product Ref: w2-05
Are you dealing with hard, compacted soils that are restricting water infiltration, root growth and pasture performance? The DELMADE Twin Spring Release Subsoiler shatters the compacted subsoil, improving water movement, nutrient access and root development, thereby increasing crop yields.
Product Highlights:
-
Breaks through deep soil compaction
-
Improves water retention in dry years
- Reduces water pooling on the soil surface in wet years
- Australian Made
Product Details
The DELMADE Spring Release Subsoiler is a Heavy Duty Deep Tillage implement designed and manufactured in Tasmania to withstand the harshest Australian conditions.
Available in a range of sizes and options to suit most requirements, this implement is ideal for penetrating and breaking hard, compacted soils through to the subsoil, allowing increased water absorption and retention, reducing soil erosion, and aerating and renovating pastures.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you're trying to keep your existing pasture, a subsoiler is typically a better option than full cultivation. The tines work below the surface to fracture the compacted layer. Adding front coulters can help cut through the pasture before the tines pass through, reducing turf damage and minimising surface disturbance.
It depends where the compaction is. An aerator can help with surface compaction or matting, but if the issue is deeper in the soil profile, it may not be effective. In those situations, a subsoiler is often a better solution because it works through the compacted layer beneath the surface.
If the compaction is below the surface, a subsoiler will generally be more effective. Aerators work near the top of the soil profile, whereas a subsoiler uses long tines to fracture deeper compaction layers and improve soil structure below ground.
Yes. Many farmers use subsoilers to work beneath established pasture while retaining as much ground cover as possible. Front coulters can be fitted to help cut through the pasture and reduce the amount of turf disturbance.
The ideal depth depends on where the compaction layer sits. In many intensive grazing situations, compaction can occur around 250 to 300mm below the surface, so the machine needs to work deep enough to fracture that layer effectively.
Yes. By breaking through the compacted layer, water from irrigation or rainfall can move deeper into the soil profile rather than sitting above the restriction. This can improve infiltration and overall soil function.
One of the primary goals of subsoiling is to create fractures through compacted ground. This allows water to move through the profile more freely instead of being restricted by a dense subsoil layer.
By opening up compacted soil and improving water movement, subsoiling can help create conditions that allow rainfall or irrigation to carry gypsum, lime and manure further into the soil profile.
Front coulters can be a valuable addition when working in established pasture. They cut through the turf ahead of the tines, helping reduce surface disturbance and minimising the likelihood of pulling up large pieces of pasture.
Not always. A crumbler roller can help produce a more level surface finish, but the most important result is that the soil remains fractured beneath the surface. Whether a crumbler is needed depends on the application and the desired finish.
