Like all sailors know, the most direct route isn't always the best one. The Routing Module now combines its revolutionary algorithm, allowing you to calculate the optimal sailing route based on weather forecasts, currents, polars of your yacht, and your navigation style, with the powerful features of the former Advanced Routing Module to make one product.
More performance in routing calculation
The Routing module offers accuracy and flexibility for the most demanding sailing conditions, making the software's routing calculation easier. It allows advanced sailors to manually control and adjust the weather file parameters in order to get more accurate results. It also introduces the variability notion, helping the skipper to identify the particular moments in the navigation where strategy choices are critical.
Routing Module Features:
Waves are used for routing computation along with wind and currents
One-click comparison between several routes and animations to evaluate multiple scenarios
Option to pass a waypoint, leaving it Port or Starboard during multi-waypoint routing computation
Alternative Routing
Routing variability calculation and display
Weather File Adjustment
Its use is more intuitive and user-friendly for recreational boaters, while offering multiple setting options for experienced sailors
Routing variability calculation & display
After having created a routing you can display on the chart the variability. Variability's value allows identifying quickly important variations of wind direction and strength, which require from the skipper a supplementary expertise in his forecasts, routing, and sourcing files.
The variability is equal to 100% if wind direction and strength are stable
It will decrease to 80% if the routing shows important variations in the wind direction and strength. It indicates as well the weather transition, for example, a ridge with a gradient decreasing of pressure, thus of wind
Variability is symbolized in the Routing tree by a more or less strong display density (as it is shown in the picture above beside).
Areas colored in Black indicate weather transitions. A very dense black corresponds to a variability < 70 %, and it is thus necessary to cross it in the shortest time after a more refined analysis and recalculating a routing before changing criteria, as well as modifying parameters and source files.
Light areas show the "Corridors" where weather conditions are more stable, depending on forecasts
The ability to overlay both variability and Sailset allows you to view each transition in different ways (as a ridge) across the routing. The Variability value is indicated in each line of the Routing center, which corresponds to a time of the weather routing.
Weather File Adjustment
It is possible to adjust the wind forecast data values, in order, for example, to take into account the hours or wind direction, or wind speed, which have been prevailing in the zone for several days.
Increase or decrease the wind speed (%): move the cursor along the slide bar to modify to increase or decrease the percentage
Increase or decrease the wind speed (value): enter a value directly
Change Weather File Time: enter a specific time HH: MM
Change Weather File in Latitude and Longitude
Change Weather File Direction
Increase or decrease in percentage Waves and/or Current values

I've started using the mulcher I on several parcels of land 10 acres . I have grind down a couple of 14 inch stumps. Caution the mount bracket behind the mulcher motor exhaust gets extremely hot even with gloves on . But the unit so far seems to works very good it's well put together.
The Firminator G3 is s heavy duty quality machine. The discs worked extremely well and planting and culti-packing is very smooth and easy. Working with Dillon at Ripping It Outdoors was a very good experience and seamless transaction.
Just got my Buffalo Turbine! Love it. Took a little bit to get used to getting the right angle for the nozzle, but not a problem. Side note, works much better if the frame is level as much as possible.
Love it!

Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops.
Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.
After spending way to much money for forest mulching services I discovered this wonderful machine. It's not a giant powerhouse forest mulcher, but it does everything a property owner needs to maintain a forested property. I wish I would have found it sooner.
The Firminator is well built and functions well. I am having some trouble while planting mixed size seeds. Next time out I’ll try setting it so only the smaller seeds drop out the open it up for the larger seeds.
easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.
Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.
My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now.
I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on.
I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.
Great piece of equipment. Performs far better than I expected. One piece of advice - if property is significantly overgrown, consider the tractor attachment first to bring down the over growth and then switch to the UTV attachment to maintain property. No complaints worked perfectly.
When I think of ripping it outdoors something else comes to mind, but I digress. This spreader is awesome. Works like a champ. The hopper is big enough to do my 1 acre lot for my applications. Just load once and go. I would highly recommend this spreader. It saves a ton of time and is a quality product.
Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!
TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks
Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!
