DESCRIPTION

The Schnell Industries Planter Conversion Hitch (Part# SPHUV10-JD) is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered drawbar conversion solution designed specifically for modern agricultural efficiency. Built for compatibility with John Deere planter systems, this hitch seamlessly converts a 2-point mounting system into a robust Category 4/5 pintle drawbar configuration.

Manufactured from ultra-strong 0.75-inch structural steel, it delivers exceptional durability under extreme field conditions while supporting tractors ranging from 180 to 450+ horsepower. The design ensures improved ground clearance, smoother field operation, and zero need for welding or permanent modifications.

Ideal for large-scale farming operations, this planter conversion hitch enhances versatility, reduces setup time, and bridges the gap created by increasingly larger planter equipment. Engineered for reliability, it provides a stable, secure connection while maintaining compatibility across multiple planter series. This is the ultimate upgrade for efficient, high-performance planting operations.

  • Category 4 & 5 Pintle Options Equipped with a standard Category 4 pintle hitch and optional Category 5 upgrade, offering flexibility for varying load requirements and ensuring secure coupling across multiple heavy-duty applications.
  • Enhanced Ground Clearance Design Optimized geometry provides superior ground clearance, reducing the risk of obstruction in uneven terrain and ensuring smoother operation during planting across rough or uneven agricultural fields.
  • Wide Planter Compatibility Range Supports multiple planter systems including John Deere, Case IH 1200 series, and White/AGCO models, making it a versatile solution for mixed-fleet farming operations.
  • High Structural Load Capacity Reinforced side plates and hitch weldments ensure exceptional load-bearing strength, maintaining stability under heavy draft forces and large planter configurations during continuous field use.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

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.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

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.

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!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
