From some one who farms and sells some tractor equipment do not buy tractor attachments from Nothern tool.

The complete lack of shear-bolt or trip-implementation for those shanks is concerning all on its own. One does not simply throw some shanks into some square tubing and then call it a proper ripper. As for the shanks themselves... Don't even get me started. If they were made of proper steel, and were properly hardened, they would snap, not bend. I imagine you could have fabricobbled something up that would have worked 10x better, and cheaper, too

wow, just wow, you have more patience than I do, I would have sent that attachment back. No way would I have kept messing with it. But you did, and now it seems like you will have a good implement for future use.

Offshore "hardened steel". I know, I've been there more than once. I hope those new teeth work out well for ya!

Well... For some reason, I have no audio at my end. Volume up, checked settings.. still nothing. But reading the comments helps. Too much new knock off stuff is junk.. there is a lot of stuff built in smaller shops that is less expensive and good quality. Lots of overseas junk out there too. I know you will get it all worked over and get it to do the job!! Thanks for the video Chris! Best of luck!!

@dehavenfamilyfarm 3 жыл бұрын

Well at least you didn't have to hear me ramble on for 20 minutes about how much I was disappointed in the attachment 🤣 I actually did try to buy something similar from a small company here in pa, but they were way behind on orders and it would have been months before I got it. I should be able to get it fixed up 🙂

Sometimes those "Off Name Brand" things just aren't as good as we hoped after we get them. Things probably would've even gotten bent if it was hooked up to Lil' Blue too. I did like your idea of putting the ripper & rock rake together for working up an area. 👍 It's just aggravating to get something only to find yourself modifying or completely rebuilding it to work for your purpose. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for it. Thanks for sharing.

I would get all my money back!! All you have is a piece of 4" square tube basically. The chisels are junk, the 3 point hitch is junk! And the frame is probably crap also. Cut your losses and buy one somewhere else! :)

Hope the ripper tool does a lot better once you put on new scarifier teeth. Northern Tools seemed to have quality products but now it seems they are an upgraded Harbor Freight outlet. Best to you Chris and thanks much for this video. Full-watch (twice).👍🏽🙂.

Well I don’t imagine the phones are ringing off the hook at Northern tool with people ordering those rippers now after this video lol. I think a small hydraulic cylinder instead of a top link strap between the 2 tools would be handy then you can adjust the pitch of the 2nd implement.

@dehavenfamilyfarm 3 жыл бұрын

Probably not 🤣 That is an excellent idea about using the hydraulic cylinder- I will definitely remember that when I modify it!

Too harmed and too stupid. Too many big rocks still in the ground that straight shanks will not raise rocks up and out; there are decades old rippers that are better than this. That crap isn't good enough for pretty much anything that isn't already under ideal conditions.

It would almost have been simpler to Buy a CHEAP 3 point Quick Hitch from Harbor Freight and cutoff and weld it to Your Ripper Then All 3 Point Equipment Should fit
