Whatever dug the first part of the trench, just keep using that.
It’s a chiropractor’s dream.
Only if you opted to use a shovel instead - you are taking what would take hours and doing it in maybe 15 minutes.
Do a 15 minute CZcams showing that hole trench dug using your machine then.
@@mikeraphone9960 Check out our channel and you will see tons of videos
Only need to see this one. Looks like the shovel is faster...
@@MidwestPauly GeoRipper digs in a fraction of the time as it would if you were to hand dig with a shovel
Might be an electricians dream, but it Looks like a lower backs nightmare.
Not at all, especially when you pop it on the EZ Kart.
Let the weight of the machine do the work. It's a bit slower, but your back will thank you
@@georipper803hoesntly for the price it probably cost you can get a actual trencher
@@str8upn0l1fe6 It is a real trencher and can be used in conjunction with a walk-behind.
Buy a mattock. Lasts a lifetime, requires no fuel, and is nearly maintenance free. Plus, it keeps you in shape.
Made it a whole half inch there bud
The video is only a few seconds long.
Something my wife usually says..😅
If only someone could invent a trencher that you could stand up with and not have to hold it up, maybe have it on wheels.. They could call it, Ditch Witch or someting like that.
GeoRipper compliments larger trenchers as well for those areas you would be forced to hand dig because you can't or want to use a larger trencher, i.e. hard-to-reach, enclosed, sloped, areas you have to weave around, next to foundations, etc.
😂😂😂 yup
That is my first year instructors nickname lmao they called her the Ditch witch because all she did was bury conduit
Will these work in rocky soil or would it react similar to cutting a log that has a nail or spike in it...major kick back?
😂
My back hurts looking at this!!!
Backs shouldn't hurt looking at things
@@georipper803you're right! But nevertheless, that looks more like a torture device instead of a tool.
Ahh yes the back breaker 3000
And the pipe breaker in one of
Lol. I post the back breaker 5000 scrolled down and saw your post! Thank you for being awesome!
@@eprofessio great minds think alike 😆
Funny'rn crap 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks more like an electrician helper’s nightmare.
only if you opted for a shovel instead.
Lmfao 😂
Yes in Florida
Never seen a sparky work that hard.
Sparky?
Correction: Electricians Helpers Dream Trencher.
You ain't kidding😂
Rumor has it he’s still working a 20 foot long trench 😭
looks about perfect for those CATV and landscape light guys who only want to go down 4-6 inches. Here in New England you'd be zigging and zagging around rocks if you go much deeper.
I used to live in Rockachusetts..trenched telephone cables..
This would never happen in New England. Could you imagine hitting the type of rocks we have here with that?
@@GregDubela yes, rocks and roots! (roots the size of my leg)
@@rupe53 no joke? If so, I am buying one asap off this comment thread and giving you a shoutout on my company page for showing me this.
@@GregDubela I would also ask a few of your competitors what they use in your area, although you might have to do that on the sly. In my observation, nothing works 100% of the time in all locations. I just retired from doing generators and with conduit, we generally went down maybe 16" (required by NEC) and you never know what you find. We were in Ct.
Really shifts that sugar sand around and back into the hole with maximum effort.
I don't know how much of a dream that is it doesn't look like it's doing much of anything but making a lot of racket?
When you get tired, you can revive those muscles with a little shock therapy when they mismark the existing utilities.
I watched this video and my back started to hurt 😂
An Electrician having A Bad Dream .
If the Soil is Wet , I would love to see that swearing Sparky !!!
My back is hurting watching this .
Backs shouldn't hurt watching videos. Might want to have that looked at.
I’ll be fair and say that this could be a very useful niche tool. That is, for certain limited circumstances. If you need a trench cut that’s fairly short and in soil that’s relatively clear of rocks and roots, this would be fine. Outside of that, though, it appears from this video that you’d be better off just renting a trencher.
It's designed for all soils including rocky, hard soils. It cuts through roots up to 3" thick. You can also rent a GeoRipper trencher as well 😉
Hahaha straight from MATTEL
Or you could just rent a trencher and save your back. Wait until you hit the first rock or root! 😂
Or gas or some other utility since it looks like nothings marked.
That was the fastest inch trench I’ve ever seen! My spade would have gone at least 6” more🤣🤣
It digs in a fraction of the time as traditional hand-digging options.
Then that’s the video you should post
Too bad it wasn't what dug the trench first. Now it's just time to go buy another chain, but the tune on the saw. Is spot on!
The GeoRipper was used for the first part of the trench.
Looks like a great workers comp back ache claim in the making
Cool! Now do hard pack midwestern clay soil!
We have tons of contractors using it in the Midwest
That it a nightmiror of a way to trench. Use a high pressure washer with a rotating end. Easy on you and way faster. I do this every day. No irrigation fu s
Oh hell yeah....I would much rather bend over and break my back with a glorified chainsaw than walk behind a trencher......NOT!
Not a chainsaw and you don't have to bend over. There is an EZ Kart you can pop on. Great in conjunction with larger walk-behind trenchers for those areas where you are forced to use a shovel because it is enclosed, sloped, narrow, or hard to reach areas, areas you have to weave around, etc.
@@georipper803, You probably should take this down and put one up with the cart, the one you’re showing is a back breaker!
My back hurts watching that!
That thing wouldn’t do sh17 in my neck of the woods…all rock and caliche.
There is a handle you can get for it. Has wheels to make it easier.
Van you imagine hitting some of that black poly pipe they run irrigation with? Or someone's landscaping lighting? Good Lord you'd have a ball of wire wound up in that thing like nobody can ever imagine.
Great exercise for the back 😂
Looks dangerous! I stick to the guys hanging out at Home Depot!😊
I have this machine. The larger straight gas version. It is heavy. The cart is tremendously expensive too. I was quoted $800 for a new chain.
Whoever is quoting you $800 is a thief
Give us a call (877) 694-0141
$800 BUCKS!!?? Who did you get the quote for that chain from, *Mr. T ?!*
@@gatsbylight4766😂😂😂😂
🎶 It's a backbreaker, nut shaker, body acher, Don't you mess around with me,🎶 nuna nu nu nu, nunu nu nu nu, nu nu, nu nu, nu nu🎶
Aaaaaand there goes my sprinkler pipe and buried cable I didn't know where it was buried. FOUND IT HUN!
MY BACK IS KILLING ME JUST WATCHING THIS 😂
Are you slouching?
@@georipper803 that thing is not worth the pain you'll be in after running it. you know they make small trenchers right. let a chainsaw be a chain saw lol. no need to reinvent the trencher especially with something so dangerous
@@Guerrero1187 You're only in pain if you spent hours shoveling instead of a fraction of the time with GeoRipper. Not to mention, a fraction of the cost of labor. There is an EZ Kart to put it on for longer runs. Walk-behind trenchers are great, until you get into areas you can't or don't want to use them because it is enclosed, hard to reach narrow areas, sloped, areas you have to weave around, etc. These areas you are forced to hand dig. That is where GeoRipper shines. Remember, it isn't a chainsaw and doesn't use a chainsaw engine.
As an electrician I can say no way
They make ACTUAL trenches with tracks that WORK for this sorta thing.
And anyone's back will be grateful.
There is an EZ Kart you can pop it on for longer runs. Larger trenchers are great until you need to dig in enclosed, narrow, sloped areas you have to weave around, etc. This is when GeoRipper shines.
From the comments I’m seeing, I think your video should have included the EZ cart
Truthfully, all the jobs I’ve been on you’d have to have one of those that six electricians could hold on to. Lol

Danger Will Robinson !
Ive qlways wanted one
You should get one!
That thing wouldn’t make a dent in Texas panhandle soils.
Already being used in TX
@@georipper803 I'm exaggerating. I'm sure it would do okay up in Northern Texas, it would just give your arms a hell of a workout. The northern half of the state has very different soils from central, south, and west. We basically have very heavy calcium and silicon rich soil (heavy caliche) which basically when wet is like potters clay with lots of fine calcium carbide and silicon carbide (Heavy and dulls blades), and when dry it basically forms a natural concrete.
Oh my back lol
Were you shoveling?
If that dream is 99% nightmare, then yes. This was invented by a back doctor PAC to increase sales.
Not at all - It is used to dig in hard-to-reach, enclosed, sloped, areas you have to weave around, next to foundations, etc. Basically, areas you would be forced to hand dig because you can't get or would want to use a large trencher.
I have this attached to my stihl ts420 saw and it rips ditch very fast. I dug a 140ft trench in less than 45 minutes and its not that heavy unless your a little girl.
Looks like perfect machine to screw up your back
Saves your back. There is an EZ Kart you can pop it on for longer runs
It looked good on paper.
My back screams in pain by watching it.
Backs shouldn't hurt watching videos
I have one of these. It gets the job done but damn it hurts afterward
That made my back hurt just watching
Stop slouching
Nice try but no go. 23 years of landscaping have made me wiser and using that thing is only wise for a foot or 2 of trenching in sand
@@mauriciorodriguez2760 Thousands of contractors already using all over the country would disagree with you.
Glad we all have the right to have our own opinion and views but definitely something I personally wouldn't invest in. Just my personal opinion
Back breaker dream
Only if you opted to use a shovel instead
Its taking forever, that might just be long enough to catch a dream or two
😂😂
Damn son you add som tracks and a seat and you got yourself a unit
Whoever recorded - needs to learn the 101 of recording
An electricians dream.
An irrigation system's worst nightmare.
Irrigators love GeoRipper to install systems
Cyripractors dream
It reminds me of a DODO bird.
Once you really settle into it, you can almost see your progress happening in real time...
The comments on videos like this...
😂
I really hope that he called 811 first 😂
The only dream this machine will create is the increased business for local chiropractic clinics.
Try that in New Hampshire, forget it
We have contractors already using it NH
What is that ? A chain saw or what I have never seen that tool beforec
Just make sure you call 811 before you dig
Back killer
If you decide to use a shovel instead
@@georipper803 better than a shovel, not as good as other options.
@@lennyvandevelde1069 Depends on the application. GeoRipper works great in conjunction with other larger trenchers. Think of areas you can't or would want to use a large trencher, i.e. hard to reach, narrow, sloped, enclosed, areas you have to weave around, etc. This is where GeoRipper shines.
More like chiropractor’s dream!!!
R.I.P back
Only if you opted to use a shovel instead
Ez cart included, right?
Aka- the back breaker
Only if you opted to use a shovel instead
Does it come with a new lower back
For longer runs, you can pop it on the EZ Kart
How did you dig the existing part of the trench? It wasn't with that thing!
Ever hear of "Lumbar Spinal Stenosis"? If you keep using that thing, you will!
They did use the GeoRipper in the first part of the trench. There is also an EZ Kart you can pop it on for longer runs.
No safety glasses, check
No gloves, check
No hearing protection, check.
Seems like a great operation.
Wait till he snags a root and it jerks u face first into ur baby trench😂😂
It cuts through roots up to 3" thick below grade.
Looks like the electricians nightmare!😂
only if you opted for a shovel instead.
He better hook it up to a V-8 engine if he wants to get done by sundown.
Does it come with a stool on all terrain tires?
There is an EZ Kart you can pop it on for longer runs
Imagine hitting a power line that was located incorrectly.
Should always call in a locate when you are digging no matter what you are using.
They have a walk behind trencher for that.
Walk-behinds are great. GeoRipper works great in conjunction with larger trenchers. It gets in areas you can't get a large trencher, i.e. enclosed, narrow, hard to reach, sloped, areas you have to weave around, etc.
@@georipper803 your using it out in open field.
Is this video intended to be some kind of satirical spoof?
20 years later ****
Neat, but where I’m at the rocks would literally destroy that in a few minutes.
Where are you located?
@@georipper803 NM, if you were using that on a previously prepped site I think you’d be ok. Virgin earth may be an issue. This obviously is geographically dependent. Hope that makes sense. Depending on how far a tech would have to go that in a lot of cases may be quicker and less hastle then going and renting a trencher. I typically use an excavator for that stuff.
@@Charlie-go6eb GeoRipper works in all soils and isn't geographically dependent. The only exception is that it isn't going to dig through solid rock, like a boulder, but not much will. You can get a free demo done through a local dealer so you can see and try it firsthand in your soils.
It wouldn't work in my area either, way too many big rocks mixed in heavy clay.
@@jeffreykindron7162Works in all soils. You can actually get a free demo through a local dealer to see and try it first hand in your soils.
Seems like it's just dumping a bunch of the soil back into the trench.
Trenched a whole inch and a half in 10 seconds. Good idea but needs improvement
Looks like the chain is on backwards 😂😂😂
My back hurts Watching this
Stop slouching while watching
Lol. Where's the beef!?
I believe they'd rather sweep
Bro that shit just looks like it would take all day, rent a fucking trencher
Not at all - you can also rent a GeoRipper
Where is The Apprentice to do with the old-fashioned way shovel hard work and watching them sweat
Should only take him 8 hours to do the whole yard, right? Oh, and how well does it handle rocks and roots?
Seriously? I see this as a tool for a landscaper putting in low-voltage lights.
It is designed with rocky soils in mind with vibration isolation and shock absorption. It cuts through roots up to 3" thick below grade.
I wonder if the machine every kicked him in the balls haha. Just imagine the drawback 😂
GeoRipper has vibration isolation and shock absorption to mitigate kick back.
It did nothing lol
😂
😂😂😂
The video is only a few seconds. He was cleaning out the trench he just finished digging.
Eh
I was looking at getting one of these but looking how slow and how much it’s suffering trying to dig in.
I’ll pass and get a bigger one
Would recommend getting a free demo through a local dealer so you can see and try it first hand in your soils
Just use a stand up tiller
Yeah I like my back not injured. Thanks anyway.
Then don't use a shovel 😉
@@georipper803 I'll rent a machine.
@@keithwatson8228 You absolutely should. You can also rent a GeoRipper 😎
@@georipper803 plus a pick axe would be a better tool than this thing. At least you're not hunched over walking backwards for 8 hours to dig 40 ft. Your tool is garbage. But it's definitely innovative. So you deserve credit for trying. Honestly I just sat here for 10 minutes, trying to think of a way to improve it. But I got nothing. The old school heavy machine is the way to go.
@@keithwatson8228 Why would you be hunched over for 8 hours digging. It cuts the time drastically in comparison with manually digging. You are taking a video that is a few seconds long and making an assumption that it would take hours to do. Thousands of contractors already using it would disagree with you. Plus, there is an EZ Kart you can pop it on for longer runs.
Must feel great when you hit granite! lol
My worker right before I ask him “Did you let the chain hit the dirt?” 👻
🤢🤕👹
Chiropractor’s dream trencher….
Did it even work ?
