The Big Rip Ice Ripper is an invaluable tool for breaking through 1"-8" of ice on your favorite spot. The Big Rip elevates this to an entirely new level, offering unmatched power and versatility as the most effective pond heater on the market.
There are two models of the Big Rip: the Land Model and the Floating Model.
With 6.5 times the power, 4 times the water movement, and twice the speed of any other de-icing unit on the market, the Big Rip is a portable de-icing machine that gives the user the ability to unfreeze bodies of water at any given location.
Everything you need is included with your Big Rip Ice Ripper.
The Land Model is the Base model. The 6.5hp Kohler engine is encased in a small frame and is designed to be sat on dry land or a platform that keeps it out of the water. It can be hooked up to any Aux. fuel cell with a 1/4" female npt. port (3gal, 6gal, 20gal, etc. Tank not included).
The motor assembly attaches a removable 20-foot flexible drive shaft. With a quick turn of the coupler ring, the shaft is easily disconnected from the engine. The 20ft drive shaft runs out to The standard Ice Ripper Frame.
Once at the frame, the shaft turns a prop to circulate the water hence melting or keeping the ice from forming just like a standard Ice Ripper.
The Floating Model is the most versatile model. The 6.5hp Kohler engine is sitting on a 35-inch round float. The float houses 11 gallons of fuel. the float can be spud-poled to the ground keeping it in one place.
The motor attaches a removable 20-foot flexible drive shaft. With a quick turn of the coupler ring, the shaft is easily disconnected from the engine.
The 20ft drive shaft runs out to The standard Ice Ripper Frame, once at the frame the shaft turns a prop to circulate the water hence melting or keeping the ice from forming just like a standard Ice Ripper.
