After looking around for a small ripper for our farm I decided that $2500 to $3000 for a 2-Shank Ripper was too much. So under a $100 in it I didn't think I did too bad. Plus mine is heavier built than what i was looking at. Just need to finish the stand's and it will be all finished.

Looks like you know what your doing when it comes to metal work.
I need to buy a mig welder and plasma cutter so I can start some metal projects.
 
Looks great except you may wish you put a colter if front of each shank.

If you go into tilled ground with it it may be fine.

If you go directly into stubble you might have problems with the stubble bunching.

Looks pretty good. Curious why you didn't weld the tubing together without the end plates and put the capped ends at the end of your ripper. Then you could cut the plates down so they're just a little bigger than the weld holding them on. It looks unfinished with a plate on one end and open tubing on the other end.

Well you see in that last picture, The plow on the back of the tractor. Those two sections used to be the 4th and 5th bottom of that plow until my grandfather decided to cut it down to a 3-Bottom plow. "Made it easier to pull" he said. Thats why it's cut there. So I beveled, bolted, and welded them together knowing would be easier to work with. I do plan on making another plate for the open end out of a 3/4" plate. Also if I ever come across two more section's from an Allis Chalmers 2000 series plow I'd like to make it a 4 shank. Or I could make my own.

Gary, Had no problem's in corn stubble. But in sod it sometimes breaks into big chunks which makes things a pain. Sure is harder to pull in sod as well. I've been thinking about adding some colters. Not 100% sure yet.
 
you did a great job, but my question is what do u use these for? im just getting into farming. Is it just to get deep into the ground? what benefit does it have? thanks

Joestreb, Main reason I built this was to Break up the Hard Pan, Soil Compaction "Our ground needed it bad", and help drain low spots after a good rain. And it did just that. I'm satisfied with it.
 
Nothing like the satisfaction of doing it yourself and laughing all the way to the bank. Good looking job!
Them there Craftsman table saws make a good place to store tools don't they? lol.
 
I can tell you take lots of pride in your work. PS I have a mig and a plasma cutter, Most of the time I use stick and a cutting torch
