The Restorer PHT has a through-the-frame PTO, so a PTO-driven power harrow or combination can be mounted close behind it. The drive can be a single shaft through the frame or an intermediate layshaft with two PTO shafts. A close-coupled, reach-adjustable rear linkage (680 mm+) with hydraulic raise and lower carries the implement.

The Restorer PHT is available in 3, 4, 5 and 6 m working widths. Legs are set at 500 mm spacing with tungsten-tipped points, are depth adjustable to 300 mm without tools, and are protected by a shearbar system as standard, with full Auto Reset as an option.

A low disturbance subsoiler relieves compaction below the surface without inverting the soil or leaving a rough finish. On Ryetec Restorer machines, a large cutting disc slices the surface ahead of each low disturbance point, so the pan is fractured to improve drainage and rooting while surface disturbance is kept to a minimum.

Choose the Restorer ALD-S for a versatile 3–8 m toolbar that works front or rear mounted with a drill or cultivator; the ALD-E as a stand-alone arable subsoiler with packer; the PHT to run close-coupled ahead of a PTO power harrow; the Track Eradicator to target wheelings; the GLD for grassland; or the Riot for one-pass subsoiling, mixing and consolidation.

Shearbolt or shearbar protection is the simpler option: a bolt shears when a leg hits an obstruction and is replaced before carrying on. Auto reset lets the leg ride over the obstruction and return to work automatically, which saves downtime on stony ground. Most Ryetec Restorer models offer both; which one is standard depends on the model and working width.
