A ripper plow assembly which includes a hitch frame for connection to the rear of a prime mover such as a tractor. A tool bar includes a pair of outwardly diverging arms each having end structure for connection to the hitch frame. A single fluid cylinder is pivotally connected to the hitch frame and includes a movable output shaft pivotally connected to the juncture of the arms of the hitch frame. A ripper shank support is connected to the rear end of the tool bar and includes a pair of upward extensions. The shank support may support either a single ripper shank or a plurality of ripper shanks arranged in a V-configuration. Two interconnected parallel linkage bars are connectable between the upper extensions of the shank support and the hitch frame to provide a parallelogram plow assembly. Alternatively, the linkage bars or a rigid plate may be connected between the upper extensions of the shank support and the tool bar to provide a radial plow assembly.
