Retrofitting a ripper

[Passionhawk1]

Question:

Is it possible to retrofit a 4-barrel ripper onto either a D9G or D9H that was not sold originally with a ripper? I understand that controls and hoses would also need to be installed.

I ask this because tractors without rippers are generally modestly priced. This would seem to be an alternative.

I don't know why not, go about it the same way the manufacturer did.... Weld it on, plumb the hoses, bob's your uncle.

A ripper on a 9G or 9H is a bolt-on. As you say it would need the control valve, lines, etc, etc. It would not be difficult to do, finding the parts might be the most difficult.

Thanks so much for responding. I'll go looking for a 4-barrel ripper.

So if a ripper on a 9G and a 9H are bolt-on, will a D9H 4-barrel ripper fit on a D9G?
