My raider 8 with my subsoiler I made. I haven't tried it on my wheel horse. Can't wait to try it out.

Looks great. Does the susoiler tend to dig in deep?

 

Thinking, "Maybe a wheel to set the max depth?"  :twocents-02cents:

It all depends how far forward I have the lever. It should if breaks the plow pan that the plow misses. I had the subsoiler with just one tine going down. Then this winter I added the 2 outer ones.

That's pretty similar to the ripper I built. Mine works pretty well

Where are the rocks??  You guys always show this nice dirt...all i have is clay and rocks.  Heck my 40hp Case DC3 has to work to pull a 2 bottom plow.

 

Kid next door was discing a field with a big disk and 140hp JD tractor. the screeching noises of the discs on the rocks was painful to hear.

 

There is another thread about pulling a plugger.  i brought one up here with me from VA when I retired.  Used it once never got in more than inch or two, with cement blocks on it. too many rocks

 Can we see more detailed photos of your lift piston? That looks interesting.

Mastiffman, the hitch lift uses a duplicate of the deck lift cylinder mounted almost vertical. I stacked an extra spool valve to operate independently. Fabbed up a bracket to mount to the four bolts on top of the axle
