Looks like the rock bent the ripper tho

Or did the ripper bend itself? 🤔

It's shaped like a crooked finger. It didn't bend.

Where are the other 2 shanks? That shank is worn to shit gonna snap any second. I ran D11’s with two 10’ shanks and the center shank was 12’ for leach pads at a copper mine and those bad boys would tear up Volkswagen bus sized rocks like nothing.

Yeah I watched the same set up take on some blue granite and it was wild!
Those 11's are so damn massive, then you see it sitting next to an 8 and you're like oh ....ohhhhhhhh.
