Very nice work!! Hey sam, do you think a fresh 12hp cub would pull an attachment with 3 or 4 rippers, or chisel plow tines like that on it???

Sorry but I can't answer that for you. Maybe one of the guys that has plowing experience will chime in but I think you may be traction challenged.

That is really nice, like the adjustment crank. You won't find anything like that at Tractor Freight.

I don't think you will have any problem getting it into the ground, now controlling how far it goes into the ground you may have a problem. It doesn't look so much like a subsoiler, more like a layoff plow or something like that. I'm not sure how good a GT will pull it either I have seen videos of GT's plowing however here in Georgia red clay I gave up on dreaming of plowing with a GT. Below is a picture of a single subsoiler the only place I have ever used a subsoiler was in a pasture to create water retention.

I think it will go in the ground as well. I've got a single shank subsoiler I made by using the shank from a Taylor-way subsoiler designed for a Farmall M and building a 3pt hitch to fit a 90hp tractor. The shank design on it is about the same. I can drop it in at least 18". I'm curious where the hardpan on a garden spot would be, maybe 6-8" if it has been continuously worked with only a tiller? I really think this will improve how well a tiller and disc perform. Should improve yield on sweet corn too!

I guess we will find out when he sticks it in the ground whether it will work or not. It really all depends on how deep he wants to go. That is scarifier shank off of a box blade, and I've tried to use those for ripping before. They weren't curved enough. Went in about 4" and that was it, and that is with a BUNCH of weight on it. It's all about the curve/angle. The hard pan is in the same place it will be in any other location in his area, being a garden doesn't change that. I don't know where that is in PA. In the part of Ill I'm in, the hard-pan is about 12"-14".

You're right about the hard pan. I should have been a little clearer, meaning the ground should get quite a bit tighter once you get beyond the zone normally tilled, but certainly not to the point it will fracture and lift when ripped.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
