Made for landowners running a tractor box blade or an ATV-mounted ripper, this 16 in. hitch-mounted shank tears through compacted driveway clay, food-plot ground and grown-in trail beds where a chain harrow stops working. The shank measures 16.14 in. (41 cm) of working length and weighs 14.3 lb. (6.5 kg), forged from high-carbon steel and finished with a spray paint coating that walls off the metal from air and water to keep rust and corrosion in check. Hole spacing on the shank runs 2 in. (5 cm), giving 4 adjustable depth positions, two more than most competing ripper shanks, so the tooth can be set deep for root tearing or shallow for surface scarifying with the same bolt pattern. The shank is compatible with most ATV and UTV models, 2 in. receiver hitches and Cat. 0 and Cat. 1 tractor box blades, covering compact tractor builds up through small utility tractors. Hand assembly runs in three steps: install the shear bolt, fix the sharp tooth, then tighten down the connection, so the ripper is on the box blade and out in the dirt without a full wrench set. The package includes an extra replaceable plow tip and a mounting pin, plus two ripper teeth, two mounting hooks and the shear bolts that fail under sudden load to protect the hitch and the shank leg from cracking when the tooth catches a buried root. For property owners who keep one tractor working hard, this ripper shank is an affordable depth-adjustable upgrade.
