21 inch shank

[Mudwiggler]

That ripper is 21" deep not wide.I`m an engineer and that ain`t 21" wide

[d9andy992]

if that was me operating the d11 i would walk up to the track plate then bite them !! then i would run around to the ripper and bang my head on it,then beat my chest while yelling,and put my hands over my eyes while running in circles around the machine,,why ?? cos im the best gun operator expert there is ! thats what i would do

[Baphamatt]

What are you doing so close to the ripper? That's just stupid

[freakyboie19699]

...worldest LMAO world's no such word as "worldest" 

[393523]

what is the situation that you need such a wide shank? soil type? rock?

[jpdub45]

ITS GONNA EAT MEEEEEE.... oh no

[TheChesley67]

what is the purpose of ripping this field

[fordlukebo]

so yall r making a farm? =)

[Gavin84w]

A few ugly sounds coming from the track chains, does the machine track straight or are you constantly adjusting direction?

[ThePauliuks]

They are searching for hiding jaws from world war 2 :D

[CaterpillarDiesel]

KICK AS!! Now that is rippin up some dirt. There are different reasons why you would rip, one being that there are a lot of rocks in the soil, two, the ground may be frozen etc. etc. No matter what, if the operator is having to do that, it is because the scraper is unable to "scrape" the ground, or they could be getting ready to use a backhoe to put in a water line whatever. There are many reasons why they would be doing this.

[cougguy09]

thats horrible....way to rape the land

[cougguy09]

thats horrible....i hope this is not a farming practice... look up "no till"

[77bajaf150]

@cougguy09 fuck no till! i hate farmin with all the shit still in the furrow...might work with soybeans on top of corn but when u rip out an almond orchard and you wanna plant rowcrops this needs to be done first

[blackedout247]

what were u rippin it up for?

scrapers?

[dirtbikerboy202]

whats the point?

[Bondidog]

Looks like he is searching for ancient artifacts.

[XXINTL]

its gotta suck to blow a track on one of those.

[plowking883]

that must be borin, drivin that all day, backwards and forwards

[bimmle420]

thats NOT 21" wide the shoes are around 2 feet wide. you mean 21" long or deep

[cormus1]

@bimmle420 i think the fellow that posted the vid should know how wide his shank is,

[wowthatsbadass]

this is hella gay :p like joey hahaa

[jamesandrew2000]

I have a 22 inch shank, so yours is NOT the worldest widest.

[thirstyhank]

this is a poor display off power why don't you come to the oil sands when its -55 and the frost is 15 feet down and the ripper cuts 6'' at a time on a d11T you clowns don't have a clue

[IBLUBYU2THERETURN]

SO... what's the purpose of this???

[ma0x]

Look at that shank. Shankin away.

[kaziwill]

this shows you the power of CAT

[itsHotinHerere]

Free amazon,itunes,asos,xboxlive vouchers here people! Dont miss out! freecoolstuff[dot]co[dot]uk

[PHER2008]

amazing...CAT POWER baby

[boyceful]

Shit my 8430 j.d could do that !!

[PHER2008]

your 8430 aint got the power to pull my peter

[heavyxpress3000]

@PHER2008 you 8430 would be spinning its tires try to pull that. to be more truthful a 10 leg para-till in the right dirt would give your deere a stroke you be dropping back into the low numbers like 5 and 4 or even 3. if you wanna know what kind of balls any large tractor has hook it to the para-till

[racens1990]

what is an idea of this?

why they do this?

[itslunchbox]

They put a shank or ripper in the ground to break up the soil. Plus the rocks will stop a 627 dead in its tracks. Makes it easier on equipment and operators.

[pako151078]

excelente video que buen D11N caterpillar.. felicitaciones

tampico tamaulipas MX:

[marianoturnquest]

thats just like ur digging trench lol,who needs a backhoe lol....that shank is as wide as the tracks

[davetileguy]

21 inches wide? or deep?

[acolvin54]

wide, as he said in the beginning

[davetileguy]

ya I read it Its just incredible though!!

[gooodyboyz559]

21" wide.

[69catskinner]

@thirstyhank....I've been up there ripping that shit, it was -51 up there before Christmas & 6 ft of frost.....but I've never seen the frost 15 ft deep before.

[gooleader]

@davetileguy

hi why would youdo that,,rip it down i mean,,,?

to build something on it or what

[davetileguy]

@gooleader farming,grow food

[generationll]

This is a 770hp D11N.Who made this ripper?

[gooodyboyz559]

950hp D11 actually. Has the new motor with some tweaking done to it. EPA in California requires cleaner running motor's.

As for the ripper, built it ourselves. We sat down and thought of it for farmers to change their soil by bringing the good bottom soil up. But we could also leave that bottom soil on the bottom if the customer would want.

[generationll]

I take it still has a 3508 in it.What changes were made to the engine?I am familiar with CARB

[cessnawings67]

ACERT Engines now.

[markrskinner]

@gooodyboyz559 Motors.

[azman2155]

is this a D11 or D10 or D9 ??

[gooodyboyz559]

This is one of our D11's

[dozerdriver1962]

i heard awhile back you were lookin

[gooodyboyz559]

Yeah we were looking a while back. As of right now we aren't looking. Sorry

[dozerdriver1962]

did you guys find an operator ?

[haffpint123]

It's called a ripper for breaking up tough ground.

[tom2024]

what ya planting jack and the magic beanstalk beans lol

[454s15ss]

ya re the doing that

[dwags59]

This thing just breaks up the soil??

[BaRrYF350]

And rocks! Cool toy!

[dwags59]

Dont see this in Michigan! You can dig a hole 10 feet deep with the heel of your boot, No need for a Cat and that Shank thingy..;-}

[BaRrYF350]

Must be nice. Where I live it is nonthing but stone. When they put in the gas line up through our road the contractor used blasting caps. A 21 inch shank could not do the job.

[dwags59]

Anyone know where this is? Must make farming costly. Here its a plow a disc and a seed drill and your growing crops!

[nchayfarmer]

its in california i think and there putting a walnut plantation on the land if you back up a couple comments he explained it all to me

[dwags59]

Got it, Thanks for the heads up!

[nchayfarmer]

yea man

[BaRrYF350]

What kind of seeds are you planting- LOL!

[24stuff]

Wow this is quite amazing. I have a 500HP 9390 Case IH Steiger that we use to pull a Chisel that has 7 shanks and each are 18inch shanks. Nice vid.

[Lukeschedel]

lol i thought it was gona show a BIG knoife

[NeverDieProductions]

we use 6 shank Tye ripper with our 765's they work great with the L shaped shank

[Dividend]

How much time does it take per acre on average?

[thefarminkid8760]

y such a big shank

[gooodyboyz559]

Wider shatter of hard pan. Will not build up for a long time. I ripped with this Shank 10 yrs ago for a farmer, he called me yesterday telling me that he took his crop out and got it ripped again by D 9's.He said they were getting 5 foot easy!That is how loose the soil was even after so many years after we ripped.

[tractorboy8420]

all i have to say is wow at our farm we ues a 9 shank ripper pulled by a jd 8420 or 8410 and we never dreamed of somthin this big brovo

[devonevans]

yep i wana run it for a day

[woofybigj]

I am surprised the rate is only $325, up here there are places where that is a D9 rate.

I think I saw this machine in a Cat history book, beautiful writing, the author said something like "Imagine 800 draft horses going to their knees, but this machine won't", I believe it also said that (at that time) you guys were ripping for eucalyptus trees, great vid! Loved being able to see it being done.

[woofybigj]

correction: $335hr, still seems a bit cheap to me.

[nchayfarmer]

why not leave the blade on put more weight want spin as bad and where was this video taking place

[gooodyboyz559]

Don't really need the blade cause the CAT is moving at a descent speed!With the Blade you have to remember the fact that it slows down the CAT a lot,especially when not needed!

Video is taking place in California's Central Valley

[nchayfarmer]

Ok how many acres and whats the land used for after ripping is it row crops or trees

[gooodyboyz559]

They planted Almonds.Usually most of the big farmers and developers use our normal shank that is about 8" wide for row crops and use our wide shank on either trees or if they want to bring the bottom soil up.Well we make the normal rips with the regular shank and split the centers with the wide shank.Though anything can be used based on what the customer wants and how much there whiling to spend.

[nchayfarmer]

ok could a john deere scraper tractor pull that ripper or the dozer is the only thing to pull it

[math198267]

Lol that's not a farming shit tractor, leave your john deere at home

[nchayfarmer]

Goddamn man im just askin I have seen big deeres pullin big damn rippers for tile and fiber optics

[ihaveairlockers]

Good work there fella's.

Good video too.

Good to see you finding solutions and making an honest dollar. Keep up the good work.

[gooodyboyz559]

Thank you,it means a lot to see supporters!This is the only reason the big land developers and farmers call us.Because we have a custom made wide shank.We might be giving our competitors a hint or two.This shank is made so if we pitch it a little forward,the bottom layer of soil will come up!

Thanks again for the support guys

[ShermanM1]

why are you ripping this long field?

[gooodyboyz559]

it all depends on the blocks sir!the longer the pass the better,so less turns equals less cash since turns and getting lined up takes a minute or so.And this isn't that long!I had to make 5 mile runs before and that was real hard to keep straight!but basically depends on what clients want

[tfraud]

Yeah, man! Tear that shit up!!

[gooodyboyz559]

yeah we did tear it up pretty darn good!when we use this shank,afterwards when watered the ground drops and it leaves big holes,sometimes takes the trees with it

[trkr27]

expensive farming.

[gooodyboyz559]

well in the long run,with this you don't have to water as much and get the trees leveled all at one height!plus they grow a lot faster and give you better crop.personal responces from farmers!

[trkr27]

so how do you charge by the hour or acre? plus move in and out. with no blade and no fuel thats what 162,000 lbs?

[gooodyboyz559]

We charge $335 an hour.We move it as fast as we can.We are the co-pilot of the semi,so it is cheaper and faster to unload,load,and leave.Less hassle and charges on the customer.We just move it as is,usually our hauling guy does complain.For what we do in are customers farm,they say we are low balling ourselves and give way to cheap prices!We made non plantable ground,plantable!

[CheyJBfan1]

that cat whese COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Booza48]

so did any china men pop up through the rips?

[gooodyboyz559]

I was hoping some people from China would come out or either I would get sucked in and get a free ticket to China,though I guess maybe next time lol

[pitman342]

Why use such a wide shank? In my area we could never get it into the ground. Good operator though, nice straight ripping.

[gooodyboyz559]

we are the only ones with this wide shank,took us alot of thinking to make it sir.i heard a lot of people say we couldnt pull it,though we have pulled it at 8 foot with the blade on!the wide shank has features that can bring the bottom rich soil up and make un-agricultural land,plantable!or you can leave that soil down low if you have to much hardpan.depends what the farmers want!it also matters about skill on the shank joystick,the more you mess with it,the deeper depth you can get

[alyssaogre]

where the shark

weird its just like bones
