~ 2026 - What's Next?

2026 has been a bit of a watershed for this 31 year project as we shift from tinkering to manufacturing and commercialisation.

Soon we will be announcing a major development in this whole concept with a partnership with one of Australia’s most innovative and leading agricultural machinery designers and manufacturers.

~ 2026 - Regrarians Ripper Zappa MK1 ('RRR')

Thanks to Bob Barton (Landscape Architect and Director of MALA), Regrarians’ Darren J Doherty was introduced to Covalent Land Australia Managing Director Justin Glass. Our first conversation went directly to making agroforestry soil preparation less invasive, less herbicide dependent and lower in cost.

On the back of the developments with Earthbanc & Earthtree India in 2024, and building on the 2022 concept sketch, Darren designed (using QCAD) and fabricated (laser cutting by Online Laser & welding by Paul O’Keeffe of ‘Amped Up Welding) an entirely new prototype—mounting the power harrow chassis directly onto a Tilco Hydramax ripper, so that in the event of hitting a rock, the Hydramax and the power harrow would be lifted out of harm’s way and then be re-inserted without stopping the tractor.

Justin introduced us to award-winning builder David Martin (The Sociable Weaver) and Regrarians Georgi Pavlov and Darren J Doherty completed the farm plan of his 610ha Omeo farm, including its 400ha+ carbon agroforestry project that Covalent were managing.

We have been using this site as a test-bed for the use of the ‘RRR’ and it has worked really well except for a breakage of the driveshaft of the Orizzonti Srl Macchine Agricole power harrow assembly we brought from Italy. It served as a lesson to bulk up the shaft diameter and housing etc. for the commercialised model that is coming next year thanks to a well-known Australian agricultural machinery manufacturer.

~ 2023 - Earthtree Ripper Zappa - Double

When we first started the planning of the procurements for Earthbanc’s Earthtree India project, we were told that 120HP John Deere tractors were available in India. Accordingly we ordered and shipped machinery from Australia and Italy and while en route, we then found that these tractors were for export only—so we had to settle for 75HP tractors instead.

Accordingly we had to use tractors which had much less rear 3PL lift capacity and suboptimal centre of gravity for these 2000+kg double Tilco Hydramax rippers + RCM hydraulic power harrows on a 200mm SHS toolbar.

So Regrarians’ Darren J Doherty designed a simple shear pin coupling for the Tilco shanks to mount onto a lighter 100mm SHS toolbar, while Earthbanc’s chief steel fabricator Eddy Kron designed and the team built a coupling to mount the power harrows onto the Tilco shanks.

This double row unit (and the single row) was used to prepare soil for the establishment of millions of Morus alba (white mulberry) across Meghalaya.

~ 2023 - Earthtree Ripper Zappa

In 2023 Regrarians' Darren J Doherty was asked to help Earthbanc establish over 6.8 million trees for the 'Regeneration Meghalaya' carbon agroforestry project in that beautiful state in the north east of India.

Among other elements of the workflow, Darren drew on his 2022 'Regrarians Ripper Rotor' concept design to design what he called the 'Ripper Zappa'. The ripper used were Tilco's XD Hydramax double-jump hydraulic reset units. While the 'Zappa' was RCM srl's (Italy) 'Zappatrice'—a single rotor Ø40cm hydraulic power harrow that are usually mounted on excavators.

With limited time available, we initially had to opt for RCM depth control—which we ultimately discarded as it was too heavy for the 75HP tractors available in India—opting instead for a new design (MK2) that Darren came up with where a simple 'U' shaped toolbar mounted the Zappa directly behind the ripper.

The ripper was also modified in that that the Tilco ripper shank was mounted into a shear pin coupling.

We also discarded the central hydraulic units as we found that the hydraulic motor (Danfoss BMP-160) of the power harrow could be run directly by the tractor remotes.

To date, 1000s of hectares of land have been prepared using these MK2 units, and the planting targets were achieved.
