Straight line ripper fractures the ground better and almost always will leave it a lot smoother. V ripper tends to break out chunks. Much more likely to need tillage before planting with a V ripper. Don't like either in the spring but certainly wouldn't use a V type. Several years ago at an auction I bought a shear bolt DMI 2500 for $1500 so decent buys are out there. Spring reset would be nice, but I don't have big rocks so really unnecessary. Undoubtedly got it cheaper because it had shear bolts. Worked with an engineer that later went to Deere. He said the DMI 2500 did a better job than the JD 2100 because it fractured as least as well and left the ground smoother. Never really discussed it after that and perhaps JD has improved it.
