LeT H3 rooter.
I got big plans for this rooter. Hope to mount it on back of the HO to the swing arm and drawbar using the left side CCU winch to raise it.
The HO has a 14A blade on it but no extra roller like the 14A. Hopefully it won't be so nose heavy with a counter weight and be easier to grade with.

Thank you Deas, it would be easier if the draw bar was strait but since they curve down by the finals means it going to stretch. I was thinking of using large truck U bolts that can go around the draw bar swing frame to the draw bar. Doing this in the center and two edges. I'll be able to tighten the heck out of the u bolts so the stretch is out.
Poops, no push block, you bully me enough as it is. Although I'm going to probably have to mount the pulley block to the top of the FOPS for the leverage points to work out. This will set the rippers about 6-7 feet away from the tracks so the tractor is not on the big chunks of clay that break up. Plus it will raise up over the CCU. Making a serious safety hazard for spectators if left up.
My reason for wanting to do this is the few jobs I get have lots of clay the after I get down a couple feet. I can't transport the pull ripper and D8 simotaniously.
