Multi or Single Shanks Ripper

[OilFieldHand]

Picture of my 10 or all the dozers together? I can post plenty of all of em lol

We are in this shale/ mud stone and this stuff can get tuff! At times my shanks on my d10 just cause it to stand on its toes. When you do get under it it just breaks out big chunks Ive had whole shelfs break off and slide with me.

The AUD has devalued

So my $0.02 is probably worth less than usual. Ours run multshank, dragging two tynes, or one in the middle if it gets tougher. I have seen a 4H with M/S but set up with a giant in the middle complete with pin puller - it was laying fibre optic cable in soft ground. I thought it was the ideal setup.

I've been jumped on for saying this here before but IMO "a dozer without rippers is only half a dozer". Try digging a hole up here in the dry without and you'd soon see why. Another of my favorite sayings is " they send me a D6 with three tynes when the D8 can hardly drag one". But I continue to buy the multi because it is more versatile.

Works for me

oilfieldhand nice pic. Do you have any limestone rock in your area?

 

[OilFieldHand]

No, not in the area I am currently in or ever work in. Word has it there is limestone a little farther north. This stuff im usually always in is mud stone and shale. Lots of fossils
