Subject: RE: Blue jet in line ripper, which one?


I've got a sub tiller 4 and it's a beast. At the time it was more steel for less money than the DMI or JD. The sub tiller 4 has twin 7" x 7" x 3/8" tubing while subtiller II has twin 4" x 6" x 1/2" tubing. I would think you would want the 4 for that tractor. From their web site it specifically says the sub tiller II has pins for Cat II or III. Doesn't say anything about the sub tiller 4. I looked at a used sub tiller that was all beat up and they told me it was from using it 3 pt mounted on an articulated tractor. The side to side motion during turning was hard on the shanks. For articulated tractors they recommended pulling with a caddy. Mine has the spring reset as well as 3/4" shear bolts. The only time I've sheared a bolt is when pulling out roots in new ground. If you don't have rocks the shear bolt should be enough. If you ever trip it you've got to replace a 3/4" x 4" bolt. No big deal and nothing damaged. http://www.blu-jet.com/
