Mishap repurposed
After sitting in the scrap pile for a while I finally pulled it out. Dunno how it did'nt do damage to the tractor.
Hit something nasty underground. The top linkage (a pretty meaty piece of threaded rod) bent like it was plasticene.
Anyway I needed a ripper blade for the new to me, toy. Cant fit to back- theres simply nuthin to attach it to.
Gave me an excuse to build a, what I describe as a toolbar.
So after some testing to ensure it would work in practice.... naturally one needs to be conscious of the fact that u are pushing with close to 7 tonne, so take it easy.toolbar 2.jpgtoolbar 3.jpgtoolbar 4.jpgtoolbar test run.jpg
All it needs now is a small block to take up the gap between the toolbar and the ripper itself.
