Will the impurities remaining on the surface of the ripper teeth affect the loosening effect?

The residual impurities on the surface of the ripper teeth can indeed affect the loosening effect. These impurities, such as soil, grass roots, stones, etc., can have a series of adverse effects during the soil loosening process:
Increasing resistance: Impurities will increase the friction between the ripper teeth and the soil, causing the ripper teeth to encounter greater resistance when penetrating the soil. This not only requires greater power to drive the soil loosening machine, but may also cause to accelerated wear of the ripper teeth and other components of the machine.
Reduced efficiency: Impurities can interfere with the normal operation of the ripper teeth, making it difficult to maintain a stable loosening depth and width. The result may cause to uneven soil loosening, with some soil not fully loosened and broken, thereby affecting the overall soil loosening effect.
Destruction of soil structure: Impurities mixed into the soil may alter its structure and texture, affecting its permeability and water retention. This is detrimental to the growth of crops, as changes in soil structure may affect the growth and development of plant roots.
Spread of pathogens and pests: If impurities contain eggs, larvae, etc. of pathogens or pests, they may be spread to a wider range of soil during the loosening process, posing a threat to the health of crops.
