can whlvr 991 #1 Posted January 8, 2012 so i thought i would post a few pics of my homemade ripper,i used it today to rip apart the ice on the drive,it was almost 50 degrees so it was a good time to tear it up,this is handy because the plow can be left on and i can raise the ripper with a chain and a slot cuy into the upright,i can hook up different tools to this setup,like my vplow etc.it slides into a standard receiver hitch on the tractor,similar to the one one of our members is selling,its very handy to have a 2 inch receiver on the back,the possibilities are endless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmer 1,075 #2 Posted January 8, 2012 Looks like it's effective, independent lift makes sense, that second picture puts my teeth on edge though. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farmer 1,075 #4 Posted January 9, 2012 Exactly, fingernails on a blackboard. Another way to wake up the neighbours though I think I'd worry about marking up my drive as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

can whlvr 991 #9 Posted January 12, 2012 the bottom 2 are for the front,and the big ones in thr rear add about 55 lbs,i made them a few years ago,poor mans weights but work,just gotta watch where your wheels are,could do serious damage to the car or what ever you hit with them ,i have one set of wheel horse weights but have never seen any others in my travels,when they went for sale i left work then and now to buy them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
