("Springtooth Ripper" sounds like an oxymoron. Maybe a springtooth harrow or springtooth cultivator.)
Exactly... I know cultivators and springtooth harrows. The "springtooth ripper is whats a little confusing. I was thinking it would be something like sweettractor posted a picture of, which is what I need.
The "7 footed" could mean 7' wide or it has 7 tines which would be around 5' wide...I think.
I guess I will just have to wait till Saturday and see. But I need the 2 moleboard plow and rippers.

"That's funny. Actually growing up all I ever heard them called was a tiller."
Jerry,
All I have ever heard them called around here is rippers. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Most of the dealerships have them for sale. Once the ground has been worked several years you can use the "rippers" instead of "turning plows"(another term for my area). I was getting ready to buy a set when I received the auction paper.
Funny how implements are called different things in different parts of the country.
I have heard them called field cultivators but never tillers. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That looks like the implement that I saw in the barnyard the other day and was going to try to get a picture of for the "pasture retorvator" thread. The only difference is that the one I saw was a bit rusty.
What's the difference in function between this "tiller" or "field cultivator" and a pasture renovator?

We have a few of those also. They do indeed, make excellent renovating tools--Ken Sweet

Being off a West Texas cotton farm, I can say I never saw one of those rascals either. Learn something everyday from TBN. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

A couple of weeks ago the hunt club guys had me weld the top link bracket back onto a five footed one of those. They called it a scarifier, but they're not farmers, either.
