IMPLEMENT PREPARATION 

Reset On The Go Shank 

 

The  Reset  On  The  Go  ripper  shank  (RSOG)  is 

designed to trip when the shank encounters an immov-
able object in the ground such as a stump or large rock. 
The force of the impact  causes the two top linkages to 
open in the center, allowing the shank to move up and 
over  the  obstruction.  Once  the  shank  is  clear  of  the 
ground, the two reset springs pull the two top linkages 
downward. This kicks the shank point forward to reset 
and downward to re-penetrate the ground. Because this 

CAUTION 

USE  CAUTION  WHEN  MOUNTING  AFTERMARKET  EQUIPMENT  OR  TANKS 
ON  A  6900  SERIES  TOOLBAR.    A  TRIPPING  SHANK  CAN  BE  VIOLENT  AND 
CAN DAMAGE ANYTHING IN ITS PATH.  

 

It  is  common  practice  to  mount  aftermarket  equipment  on  a  KMC  toolbar,  such  as  fertilizer 

tanks or aftermarket row markers. It is critical that all aftermarket equipment is located properly on the 
toolbar so that it will not interfere with the reset mechanism on the ripper shanks. A tripping shank can 
be  violent  and  damage  anything  in  its  path.  Particular  care  should  be  taken  around  Reset  on  the  Go 
shanks as the spring towers flex when the shank resets itself. Below are computer generated clearance 
dimensions for each type of shank, however since actual dimensions are hard to determine, additional 
clearance should be added. Routinely inspect aftermarket equipment and top of ripper shanks for signs 
of  interference during implement use.

Tripped Shank Clearances 

Ripper Shank Tools 

shank resets itself as the tractor is moving forward, there is no need to stop if a shank trips. The RSOG 
shank has been designed to have  a fixed trip pressure and requires no adjustment before or during use. 
However, trip pressures can inadvertently be varied by unwanted friction in the pivot pins. If the pivot 
pins  are  not  greased  as  recommended  the  trip  pressure  on  the  point  may  be  increased  beyond  safe    
limits. A strict maintenance schedule will keep the RSOG shank operating correctly and safely for the 
longest period of time. (See the “
