Thanks. I'd love to take credit but I got it as part of a trade deal. Works well though.

I like the receiver hitch design and the single ripper. A multi-gang ripper wouldn't be able to up-root tomato plants in my soil. :)

LD1, I love the product. But you forgot the cup holder. I'm afraid your drink in that photo won't make it very far without falling off. ;)

On a serious note, I'd love to see some pics of the soil after you've run that ripper through it.

Tested it out a bit. It dont like heavy sod as it tends to ball up. But dirt it works as expected. Grabs roots nice too. More tractor would be nice, but it does just what I expected it to. Set it to cut about as deep as a disc, and it leaves results that look just like running a disc. Only without the noise and without the disc wanting to throw the back of the tractor around

I know you designed with function over form in mind but... That thing looks bad a**! Like something out of a Mad Max movie.

Nice work I need to learn to weld again. This tractor business can get expensive.
