Nice video, I have a plate with extensions to add a ripper. Possibly tomorrow. I have a small shovel implement configured now.

[@OutdoorsintheLowCountries]

Succes with your version of the ripper.

[@pkurt67]

Thanks for another good video. I copied your design last year and made my ripper to be placed on pallet fork frame. It works well. Thanks for the idea and sharing your great ideas.

[@OutdoorsintheLowCountries]

Great to hear that the ripper design works well for you too. The nice thing about a pallet fork frame is that you can even place it off-centre (e.g. more to the right or left) when this is prefered. Am I correct?
Do you also have a guard frame at the top of the pallet forks? I can imagine that this large frame can be a nuisance in limited spaces.

[@pkurt67]

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries yes, it does have a frame at the top. I made it removable after bending it on some standing trees. I build the blade on a plate with gussets, welded in bolts to align with slot positions, and drilled and tapped lower pallet fork frame . So the unit sets in place on the top two bolts and and bolted on with two bolts on bottom. Takes a few minutes to put on but gives some versatility.

@@pkurt67 Thanks for explaining.

I copied this design here in the States. It does the job, but you need to use it in this manner. Thanks so much for a great attachment for my JD 1025R!

[@OutdoorsintheLowCountries]

You're welcome. And great that the Rhino Ripper design is also doing its job in the States at your JD 1025R compact tractor! 👍

Great looking soil. Much better than what I have in the cascades of Oregon, USA., Hans

[@OutdoorsintheLowCountries]

Now I'm becoming curious. :-)
What type of soil do you have over there?

[@edwinlikeshistractor8521]

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries Volcanic clay. Needs lime and compost to grow any thing other than trees and grass.

[@OutdoorsintheLowCountries]

@@edwinlikeshistractor8521 I always thought that volcanic clay is good for farming. But your comment sounds quite differently.

Cascade Oregon There are a lot rocks

[@dollywarrior]

The best design ever

[@OutdoorsintheLowCountries]

Thanks for the compliment!

Where to buy your product?

[@OutdoorsintheLowCountries]

This is a home made implement. But a good metal worker in your neighbourhood should be able to make you one.
