If it’s anything lie the tile plows that we use in South Dakota the cable from the case goes right under the belly of the big bud and attaches directly to plow. Just has a loop or two off the bottom of the big bud to keep the cable centered and out from under the tires.

It is still a testament to how well the Bud's were designed &built that it is still pulling that hard without any mechanical issues. A lot of that is also attributed to a great maintenance program. It is really sweet to see her still pulling after 40 years.

So I am guessing that ripper was designed to be pulled by a monster dozer if those two tractors are working that hard to yank it. It is impressive how well those Buds still hold their own compared to 40 year newer machines. You can just about keep bolting new equipment to them, wonder if you could find some axles that have diff locks in them.

A lot of black poly has been laid all over Australian farm land for a lot of years now. On our farm we aim for 300mm maybe 400mm deep to the top. We have to have it buried not because of freezing the water but because the water gets so hot that the stock won’t drink their daily requirements in the summer and autumn.🇦🇺👍

You guys sure are having fun. I have countless miles of underground lines around my farm. I have several miles of fiber optic that would cost millions as it carries millions of connections between Denver to Houston. Several miles of helium 8" that is 8 feet deep. Miles of 8 to 16" natural gas. I have many miles of 480 volt power. 2" gas lines to pump irrigation wells. Then water lines 8" to 15" While installing a electric supply this Spring we hit a 8" gas line that is abandoned and not on a map. I call 811 often. I just got off my combine and it feel more relaxing to be getting 3700 bu of corn each hour so I can pay for more lines!

Great opportunity to see this. The riper you got on loan was a great piece of equipment. Nice you could use it. Will be nice for both of you to have larger homes for your growing families!!!!! Look forward to the laying if the pipes in the next videos. Thanks for all of the filming and voice work. Was great we could follow along. Guess that is about it for now.

I don't know about a vibrating plow because it would be horrible on the pins and bushings I would think and the vibration could potentially wreck a laser receiver or gps units which are often used and of course they are mounted to the actual plow because they need to control the thing. On my plow " I was just an operator, "I didn't own it" I think I remember a pin or two that were about 5" square. The square also acted like a keyway to make the pins not turn and make the wear bushing turn. Kinda weird but with the tremendous force it makes sense. So I think vibrating would probably only work on small plows, maybe not quite as big as the one in this video but probably anything smaller. Something that helps make it pull easier? I used to weld the sides of my plow with stainless steel because stainless steel pulled easier through the ground than ABR400. We were often very concerned with a very precision grade, so it was important to keep all the linkage, pins and bushings tight. Sometimes running a grade on a 500th. You want accuracy. Precision to let drainage or pumped water flow at it's maximum potential for efficiency because sometimes it would have to go for many many miles where there was no electricity to put in pumps. This is a small plow in the video but a good size for this particular job. The bottom of my plow was about 11 feet long, the idea with a long plow was not just about capacity but also precision for the bottom of the trench where the pipe lays. A longer plow will always do smoother because it has way more area on the bottom of the trench. On big plows the capacity of digging down over 10' feet and 24" wide is common. However it usually was impossible to pull over 8' or 9' deep so everything that had to go to specific grade that deep was usually put in with an excavator. Usually if we needed more traction we would bolt up to 6" tall grouser pads onto the tracks. Can't do that with a farm tractor. However I hear farm tractors do good unless it rains a little and gets slimy on top. Then they just don't have traction. In these situations it's all about traction. If you spin out and can't go, You can't ever back up with the plow down. It must come up out of the ground if you need to back up. To restart you have to have a pilot hole.

@@brianrutherford3681 but they already have the tractors so the cost of renting a dozer and having it trucked in would run up the cost ten fold versus just the fuel they’re burning and the cost to rent the ripper which is probably next to nothing.

Yes maybe but that ripper is working the tractors too much harder then they are meant to work.the repair cost could be higher later down the road.

It seems so strange to me as an east coaster that you could be deep into farm country and have access to a natural gas an municipal water. Growing up on the east coast it was pretty much once you left the city and inner burbs you pretty much had wells, septic and heated with electric, propane or oil.

That’s about the longest waterline install I’ve ever seen for a home. It’s probably cheaper than drilling a well in your area. I figure that’s why you’re going with this option.

that is my thought to! on my farm its all small light tractors my neighbour have large 300-500ph tractors. i cant plow their field the dirt is far to hard and yet i fly thru my field. They bean farming their land for 40+ years i broke the sod up last year. just because you'r exupment can do something on your land doesn't mean it able to on the other side of the road.
