Ross Braithwaite deel sy ervaring nadat hy Jedidiah Equipment se inline ripper reeds vir vier seisoene gebruik het. Hy verduidelik hoe die hidrouliese tandstelsel, verstelbare werkdiepte, snykoutere en slytasiedele in praktyk werk — en waarom die implement deel geword het van hul grondvoorbereiding. Daar word ook verder gekyk na onderhoud, klipperige toestande, tandspasiëring en hoe Jedidiah Equipment dié masjien vir meer as een toepassing aangepas het. 🌐 www.jedidiahequipment.co.za #JedidiahEquipmentAndTrailers #InlineRipper #FarmSpace #OnsPraatBoer 00:00 Is die Jedidiah inline ripper ’n opsie vir jou? 00:26 Ross se ervaring met Jedidiah se ripper 00:42 Waar pas die ripper in hul grondvoorbereiding? 01:00 Waarom hulle na ’n inline ripper geskuif het 01:17 Hoe die hidrouliese tandstelsel werk 01:42 Verstelbare werkdiepte vir verskillende grondtipes 02:12 Slytasiedele en "hard facing" 02:41 Hoe lank hou die "wear parts"? 03:17 Omkeerbare slytasiedele 03:41 Is die onderhoudskoste die moeite werd? 03:48 Breek kompaksie elke drie tot vier jaar 04:03 Wat gebeur ná die "ripping" proses? 04:40 Ross se ervaring met Jedidiah Equipment 05:20 Boukwaliteit, staal en diens 05:44 Hoe Jedidiah die ripper vir gas-toediening aangepas het 06:24 Verstelbare tandspasiëring 06:49 Verstelling van die snykoutere 07:29 Hidroulies teenoor veer-stelsels 08:02 Hoe reageer die tande wanneer hulle klippe tref? 08:41 Vier seisoene se ervaring 09:10 Ross se algemene indruk van Jedidiah Equipment 09:50 Finale uitspraak oor die “geel” masjien

What makes Jedidiah Equipment's trailers different from others? Jed van Niekerk tells us how years of contracting experience shaped the design of their grain, silage and gravel trailers. From a lower centre of gravity and flotation tyres to strong braking systems, a single trunnion tipping cylinder, hydraulic doors and low-maintenance suspension, each feature has a practical purpose. The philosophy is simple: reduce downtime, improve safety and build a trailer that can handle demanding working conditions. 🌐 www.jedidiahequipment.co.za #JedidiahEquipmentAndTrailers #Trailers #FarmSpace #WeSpeakFarmer 00:00 Intro 00:28 Who is Jedidiah Equipment & Trailers? 00:40 Why JET started manufacturing trailers 00:59 Built from contracting experience 01:15 Grain and silage trailer design 01:31 Why stability matters in difficult terrain 01:38 Lower centre of gravity, tyres, and braking 01:57 JET’s drawbar and spring design 02:45 The single trunnion tipping cylinder 03:13 Why JET prefers this tipping system 03:44 Hydraulic rear door explained 04:00 Grain discharge system 04:25 Pulling an additional trailer 04:44 Heavy-duty axles and braking systems 05:01 Designing for minimal downtime 05:15 Central greasing station 05:49 Safety, quality, and durability 06:16 JET’s 12-ton gravel trailer 06:25 Converting the gravel trailer for grain 06:42 Walking-beam suspension explained 07:05 Low-maintenance suspension design 07:35 Testing trailers through contracting 08:11 Why downtime costs money 08:20 How to contact Jedidiah Equipment & Trailers

How did one old dozer lead to a South African agricultural equipment manufacturing business? Jedidiah Equipment & Trailers' story started with contracting, building roads, and dams before expanding into land preparation, maize planting, silage, and slurry work. When existing equipment struggled with their demanding local conditions, they began modifying — and eventually manufacturing — their own. Today they build trailers, tankers, strip tillers, inline rippers, land rollers and more, with products tested through their own contracting operation before reaching the market. 🌐 www.jedidiahequipment.co.za #JedidiahEquipmentAndTrailers #FarmEquipment #FarmSpace #OnsPraatBoer 00:00 Intro 00:27 How Jedidiah Equipment & Trailers started 00:59 The first dozer that started the journey 01:22 From roads and dams to a growing contracting business 02:14 Moving into agricultural contracting 02:42 Civil, dam building, roads, and slurry work 03:00 Why equipment maintenance is so important 04:02 The pressure of an 8–10 week silage season 05:00 How JET started modifying farm equipment 05:43 Why existing equipment wasn’t suited to local conditions 06:14 From modifications to manufacturing their own equipment 06:47 In-house testing and product development 07:06 What equipment does JET manufacture? 07:20 The new sugarcane trailer 07:28 Tankers, strip tillers, rippers, rollers, and bale spikes 07:51 Testing equipment before selling it 08:11 Why JET is bright yellow 08:43 Where to find Jedidiah Equipment & Trailers 09:09 Closing
