Since a D10T came in yesterday, I was able to get it on and see what it looks like. Here are some photos of the prototype.





The arm I was able to cast pretty easy. The plan is to do the ripper in one piece. Here's two photos of the arm next to the model.





Enjoy!

Love it, looks much better with a single shank. I buzzed off the nubs by the blade at the ripper to give them more movement.

Excellent piece of work there now have some small production samples ready to ship. This is what is needed to upgrade the D10T.

Thanks.

Nice work, need to cast the spill guard for the top of the blade now to make it look like the real machine.

Here is the display one for the SS Rippers.

I've been asked to do a counterweight/push block for these rippers. I have gotten a design ready and will have the first ones produced in a few weeks. The counterweight/push blocks will be sold separately.

















Enjoy!

Why? I have catalogues for the D10N, R And T, some have the dirt guard, some do not, sometimes you are too much of an anorak!!!! no offence meant

Love the single shank ripper, I hope to be doing a D10R to go with the D10T so a single shank ripper would be nice. On a recent conversion to produce an accurate D10N, I cut off the two outer shanks, slotted the toolbar and made a single shank for the middle. I would love to post photos but for some reason cant seem to get them downloaded.
