Last spring I bought a 9 shank V-Ripper at a sale. This fall I finally cut it down to size for my 1850 and started ripping the places that drowned out this year. I have 3 shanks on it, power not a problem, traction is good but probably could use duals, NEED more weight on the front end!!! I found it works best by going over the field 2 times, first time about 16" deep, then stick it in as far as it will go. Many times it picks the front end up and just goes where it wants to. Sometimes it sucks in and the front end gets 4' or so off the ground, then it starts spinning and I have to stop and back up to be able to raise the ripper out of the ground. Wish I had someone to take pictures or movie when it's doing that. I hope this helps, or else I've wasted a lot of time and fuel just screwing around. Chris

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
