I had a little time yesterday and have been needing a ripper to loosen some dirt around my building pad so i made a simple but great working ripper.
Its 42" wide and has 7 cutters. I used railroad spikes.

Did you get the spikes out of the ties of the RR that runs past your place?  |

Hmmm, that looks like a usefull tool. Simple but effective, in keeping with the tradition of Simplicity. |

Danny. It works really great being able to put down pressure on it with your feet. Ihad to water the area the night before because the clay was the dry and hard.
Phil. That was actually holding the ripper up. I disnt have a raising chain on it when i took the pic |
