I have a single shank CatII "sub-soiler", Ford brand, that I bought new
from a local implement dealer about 25 years ago. Cost about $300,
probably ~$500 now.

It'll go 24" deep but it generally takes more than one pass to get that
deep. With a homemade attachment, I've used it to lay 1" black poly
pipe. I've used it with 25-50 hp tractors. I bought it to sub-soil
where lines of fruit trees and blackberries are going in. I also like
to sub-soil my vegetable rows once every several years.
