CASE 715 Quadtrac vs Great Plains 9 shank in-line ripper

[@luisnunes7933]

Hello! The new Red Mean Machine easily doing the job. Greetings from Portugal.

[@eatingamandarin]

Transferring power to the ground is the challenge. How do you determine the necessary depth? And then how do you measure the benefit of this operation?

[@prinefarms4127]

The new 715 Quadtrac is a beast!

[@John-nc4bl]

Thanks for your impressive vide The 715 could probably pull another 3 shanks.

[@farminelectra]

Not at 16 inches. Had to bring it out to about 12 or it would just slip.

[@lfeco]

You could see a bit of slippage, I'd guess the snow doesn't help. Surprised to see the 3 pt hitch.

[@armchairgeneral7557]

Yeah I was wondering if another shank could be added then I saw the tracks slipping a bit. Those rippers are a hard pull. Engine power is there though.

[@jonnykerley]

You need a John Deere 9RX 830 then!

[@jamesbarbour8400]

That's a big old assed hood on that thing - must be a massive engine in below it. Despite how deep the ripper is, and the number of shanks, the tractor hardly seems to be breaking a sweat. Engine revs sound comparatively low too - should save on fuel useage.

I love ripping

[@paulpence8895]

What, at idle... LOL

[@Hermiwalle]

why are you going so slow? it must be able to pull it faster with over 700 hp.

[@farminelectra]

Traction/slip

[@Hermiwalle]

Can it be weighted down more?

Comments like this crack me up. They’re ruining it 16 inches deep. See the wave and ground breaking up behind the ripper? There’s a lot of compaction. We run a 9 shank on our 620. Some of our fields it plays with it. Some fields it’s all it wants.

[@Hermiwalle]

@@gregjames5070 forgive my ignorance. But 775hp is 775 hp. he stated they were traction limited. Altough it should be able to pull it faster anyways even if the slip increases.

[@froggienm71]

I'd be more impressed with it pulling an 11 shank ripper

[@timtorkelson7201]

Partially frozen ground to some extent? Sure it would pull 11 just as well!

[@farminelectra]

Depends on depth

[@John-nc4bl]

Rippin semi-frozen ground is not the smartest idea and that is one of the reasons for track slippage.@@farminelectra

[@debi5292]

A twin track of the same HP would run away from this. Why? just count all the gear boxes from the engine to the tracks. I bet these 100HP shy of pull at the draw bar. Good pan rig, not good for farming.

[@robertbanik7879]

The 865C was originally planned for this ripper, it only spins with full ballast and is unsteerable

[@debi5292]

@@robertbanik7879 If it weights around the same as the 4 track pos you're a liar.

Case IH not Case.

Compression springs on the ripper, bad engineering.
