Good evening Sir , outstanding informative video and that will be very good once it will be fixe with a solid block of steal at your local welder/machinist Sir 👍👌😉 Have a safe week Sir Cheers 🍻🍻
I agree Michael. It just needs an outer sleeve welded on over top of that current one, and it would fit perfectly into a 2-inch receiver. Thanks for watching!
Great camera shots… you had me looking for four leaf clovers! Chad, it should also help to shorten the lever arm by drilling a close fitting pin hole. That would reduce the force on the tube and prevent bending. I don’t think that ripper would be adequate for Ozark rocks and oak tree roots. I am looking at adapting a ripper on my box blade to do the same thing… we have located a bent pipe and wire spool to feed the wire in as we rip.
If a person is a good cutter and welder, they could probably cut the receiver off at those factory welds, then weld on the proper size of receiver. Thanks for the demonstration and review, Chad! 🙂🚜
My thoughts exactly - someone with some fabrication skills would easily be able to improve that one weak point. The rest of the subsoiler design and construction looks good.
Great project, I did something similar to bury a water line (don't have to be too deep in Florida). The subsoiler was far less than the rental of a trencher, and it remains in my inventory. Great for tree roots. Any welding shop should be able to cut off that tubing and replace it with a stronger tube of the correct size. Seems wrong to buy something just to have it repaired, but now it is in your arsenal.
Great idea for trenching, only issue is putting ethernet in the ground. It does not fair well if you have much lightning. I know this video is a couple of years old, but you can get a section of fiber rated for direct burial and media converters on each end to convert back to ethernet and unless it is cut, you will be good for years to come. I have had so many failures with ethernet in the ground, I will not even attempt it any more. I hope you have better luck with it than I did. Thanks for the video.
Half your problem is the tooth is on upside down. The flat side of the replaceable tooth should be on top so the soil is lifted up leaving a tunnel for the cable or water if using it to drain water
Hey Chad awesome video, my question is how did that come out of the receiver without tearing the pin holes? Did you not have a pin through it? Or did it break the pin?
Hi Josh - I should have explained that better. What I ended up doing was putting the 2-inch hitch into the receiver from the back side, and using the pin through it's holes. Then I placed the smaller shank inside that hitch from the other side. So there was no pin through the smaller shank. I wish I could have put it through both, but the holes wouldn't line up for the receiver, larger, and smaller shanks. So the smaller shank on the subsoiler was just held inside the larger shank of the other hitch by the tight fit, and the constant downward pressure on the ripper. As you saw, eventually on the harder ground, it worked it's way out little by little until I bent it with my extra weight. Probably if I had paid closer attention to it, I could have slid it back in when I noticed it starting to slide out. I don't think it slid out at all in the soft soil - just once we got to the driveway. Thanks for watching and asking that great question.
@@PurpleCollarLife ah ok that’s what I thought. I watched that part a few times and was thinking that maybe that is what you had done. Thanks for the reply Chad, see you on the next one!
It sure is! I was really impressed for under $75, how much it really was able to do. The shale/rock driveway was asking a lot of that small piece of steel that goes into the receiver. But certainly it could be adapted to be much stronger in that spot. The rest of the ripper seemed like it was good quality and strong enough to handle the task. Thanks for watching!
I had great idea of digging a line to install some pipe and wire a distance away from shop.,..didnt realize cable for internet was buried 1 ft underground,,,yes i cut through it and i had a mess,,also its not a good idea to leave these attached to tractor as if we accidentally hit lift lever it will come down and dig in areas that more serious stuff is buried,,i call 811 and had them survey my entire prop..didnt know so much undergound wiring was there even in rural area/be carfeful,,these attachments are cheap and work well
I got a ripper from pallet forks (titan attachments). It has a 2 inch solid bar that slides into a receiver tube. I expected Vevor to be the same stuff just relabeled but that doesn't appear the case for this tool.
Definitely not the same as the Titan Attachments version. Other than that small shank that goes into the receiver, the rest of the product was acceptable. Thanks for watching!
I got one with a 2" tube on the vevor site for about $42. Not as good as the $75 Amazon one I also got, but seems ok. Paint is of course bad on the $42 one
I bought mine years ago, but I think there are similar ones like this: amzn.to/3WYcl9J I'd just caution you to avoid the cheap ones or the ones made by some inferior brands. You want one that will hold up over time.
@@PurpleCollarLife The point should be rotated 180 degrees so that the flat portion on bottom is on the front of the shank. The flat portion is the wear area of the point. The portion of the point that you have on top in the video will wear rapidly if used more.

Thanks 👍
no prob makeing it stronger with a bit of box inside and outside

Sure beats using a shovel, Chad! Nice job. 👍
You got that right! I wouldn't have made it 20 feet digging by hand - let alone 250'!

Thanks for the tips! Great idea to use a tool like this for burying a shallow water line in areas where freezing isn't a concern. Thanks for sharing!

Good for busting up clay soil.

Very good point about calling the “before you dig” number in your area. Thanks for leaving the comment.

more new truck review please !
Absolutely! They're coming. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing! If you just need it for a once-time use or easy use - the $42 one (or the $75 one) is probably fine.
Where did you get the 3 pt hitch receiver?
I bought mine years ago, but I think there are similar ones like this: amzn.to/3WYcl9J
I'd just caution you to avoid the cheap ones or the ones made by some inferior brands. You want one that will hold up over time.
Maynard James Keenan loves the 1023e as well!!
Thanks for watching!
Replacement wear tooth is on upside down.
I'm not sure what you mean. We didn't install anything as a replacement. Please explain.

@@corymcummingsI see. Thank you.
