Matt, I moved away from those "st" trailer tires and started putting 10 or 12 ply "truck" tires. They cost more up front but I think it's worth it in the long run......
Gosh Matt, before you put too much more money in the trailer, how about trading it for a good gooseneck? You'll be surprised how much easier it is to use a gooseneck than bumper hitch.
The only issue you will have with that ripper running in the row is if you’re picking cotton when it’s real wet the picker might slide into the ripped area. But when I did it I had 36in rows. Other than that you will love it we started ripping at an angle. But when I grew cotton I had a 6 row rip strip and a 6 row JD vacuum planter all hooked together pulled it with a 7220 Caseih Magnum and had a 9986 picker.
Good evening Griggs family and Andy, will the tractors that you have now be able to handle that new piece of equipment that you just bought? I remember when you were ripping the edges of some of your fields last year, you said that you were abusing that tractor pretty hard. Do you think the ones you had will handle it? Take care and be safe working on that equipment. God bless 🙏🏻🇺🇸
I have had good luck with the style plow points you have on the echo till 2500 as long as you don't let it get to dry before using it . I have used a harrow behind a separate tractor with good results as well as an old lilliston row conditioner .
Easy for me to spend your money but - that trailer tire that was a spare - presumably it is 10 years old too so - despite it looking ok. Why not replace it and be good to go on all 4? Easy for me to say of course.
Are you sure that you're a farmer, and not a mechanic of farming equipment and machinery ? I know that farmers have to be able to fix most their equipment and machinery them self, but it looks like you a bit more than most.
If you want a smooth finish and complete fracture please run the factory points with the wings especially since you have widening it out.

If that is 12 Ply tires on the trailer they need to be replaced with 14 Ply and you wont have anymore issues
I know the feeling always something to do!
Good videos. Very interesting. You do a very good job. 👍 👍 👍

I think case makes a closing wheel for that to close up trench they ran one on triple r farms
You may have to take a couple shanks off if it pulls like ours did!
you never get done fixing at least you have the ability
Remember the saying; If it has tires, tracks or tit$ is bound to give you trouble.......
Great video good to see y'all
Tractor will know its back there
I love my dog bone creeper.
Im so glad this Ripper came up in todays video.
Matt : Did you see any improvement from the area you ripped last year?
No noticeable difference in the cotton
@@griggsfarmsllc Thanks!
Your trailer is doing the same thing as mine always wearing the tires out and making bad vibrations when running empty

Matt, my FIL used to say that farming work is like wiping your butt with a wagon wheel, there's no end to it.
😂

Think $250 for that loader pin is nothing short of extortion.
Hey Matt how are your Hi-C boots doing
Still wearing them
do you by chance deal with shoup they may have to points you want
That’s where we bought them
