 Topic: What kind of ripper?
Posted: 23 Nov 2016 at 6:55pm |
|
I know this has been beat and there are a LOT of variables, but-
never ripped ground, red clay
what kind of ripper? in-line/v
what size? fresh overhauled 7050 with duals and full front weights
or would I be better off with a disk-chisel.
I'm pulling a 9 shank 3pt chisel now with no problems, just wanting to get a little deeper.
Thanks, Brad

I run a tye paratill 4 shank 16-18" deep with a 7060 (1000 each side with fluid and duals) 18.4-38s or a 7080 (1000 each side no fluid and duals) 20.8-38s. Both have plenty of power (210 and 300 respectively) traction is more of the issue. The 7060 handles it better. Both have a full rack on the front.

an inline ripper supposedly does better. If the ground is dry, it's supposed to shatter/explode the ground underneath as the inline shanks compresses the dirts between them. A V-ripper doesnt' give you that. We pull a 5-shank with a 200HP 4WD with no problem. I doubt you would want to pull more than a 4. 3-pt would be best.

pulled a 7 shank deep "V" ripper with my 7080. it was all it wanted as I didn't have a low side of the tranny to pull with. but I could get down 2 ft or better. the farm had never been ripped before in it's life, and boy you could tell it!

What ever you use wait until the ground is a dry as it can be, that will give you the best benefit.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

I've been told the v-rippers pull easier than the inline rippers?

A v ripper will pull easier, but are less effective. You can watch the wave of ground behind mine. You won't see that with a v. The point shank of the v does the most work after that there's room for the dirt to move. Itl just slide it to the side. An inline has no room for the dirt to go but up.
