Subject: RE: Wilcox Ripper @ Tulare Farm Show


Sunnyside, WA
When I lived in California I worked for a couple guys that ran 5 shank versions of the Wilcox rippers. Would pull with a Cat 75C, CIH 9350, or JD 9200, etc. Usually ran anywhere from 24-30" deep and it was a PULL for those tractors.

We use a 7 shank JD 915 behind our 8410 or 8420. I was pulling it 21" deep last week and that was also quite a workout. Picture of the Wilcox brought back memories of just how slow going that style of ripping was. Our JD ripper would be called a chisel plow in CA.
