I have a Woods box scraper with scarifiers and was wondering if I could put say 1 scarifier, at it's lowest depth, and use that as a subsoiler? I realize that it may not go as deep as a subsoiler, but wondered if it was worth trying. Let me know what you think.

Sure, it will work, but maybe 6 inches of penatration at the most.

What are you really wanting to do? Break up a hard pan, the box blade with a scarifier isn't going to cut it like a subsoiler... If you just want to rough up the top layer to plant seeds with the box blade, I've done that... and it works well.

Check out your favorite farm store.
I just looked online at my local stores. They're not sold for $150 any more. Since 2019 they have really gone up in price, like everything else. Now they are $250 and up.
