[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5195803, member: 20151"] I was using a 100 hp tractor on this task. I also have used a 45 hp tractor but it is too light and spins a lot in really difficult soil. The ripper has a 24 inch shank and is tipped with a 2 inch wide plate so it fractures rather than slices. I found a few soft places where it went the full 24 inches but it ran between 16 and 18 inches most of the time. This tractor does not have down pressure so I had to use the top bar adjustment to use point angle to keep it in the ground. I also run slow at a low RPM so a big rock or root stall the tractor rather than shear pins or damage the plow. The tractor shuttered the entire time and often dirt rolled up in geometric shapes (seriously compacted). The single shank handles well and is more forgiving when gently turning direction. The tractor would handle a 2 shank but not as easily [/QUOTE]
