Old Meets New
« on: August 09, 2025, 09:01:45 am »
They hooked the 150HP Case up to a Case 875 13 shank ripper yesterday. While they are not very deep (this is wheat ground and they don’t want to pull up rocks), keep in mind it takes a 600hp tracked or 4-wheel drive tractor and rippers pull hard.

pretty interesting, yes, they were just scratching the surface really, but they tried it.

The ripper shanks were about 6 inches deep, so still impressive
