I Pushed The Ripsaw Tank To The Edge Of It’s Limits! 

I was a tanker in the Army. I enjoyed driving the best. When a car feels like a speed bump and you can drive through a house, you know it’s badass.

I have actually had the pleasure of meeting Justin through work a few times. I had no idea he had all of this until he sent me this video. One of the most down to earth people I have ever met. Super cool guy. Amazing successful and very humble. You certainly don’t come across that every day.

I watched the Ripsaw go from an idea on paper through its iterations to a final awesome product. Once you see how they do things, Howe and Howe are nothing but amazing. Justin's truck collection has to be second to none. I'd like to take a couple of them home.

I was an Armor officer in the army, learned on M48's, M60's and later M1A1 Abrams and drove almost every track available...PC's, M88's, Artillery, Mortar, etc - changing a track is tough, putting a track back on is crazy, as well. 70 miles per hour would be fun - M1A1 Abrams is slated at 45 mph+...got my heart thumping again...miss being around tanks and diesel, but, jet fuel is a great smell...makes the track run faster....thanks for this video...now, go jump in an Army tank...powerful and agile. Hooah!

I remember watching the Howe Brothers years ago when they were doing R&D on the Ripsaw. Those two were awesomely funny

Heavy D is so pumped he's out of breath showing this thing off! I would be too, that thing is a modern marvel.

One can only wish. Instead of buying a house for my fam, we should just get a ripsaw...My 14 y/o approves, lol

I’m an accountant, I’m convinced I want a ripsaw but after calculating the numbers I’m in the red by $500k

People who lend you their cool shit like this are the best

Had the privilege to meet Justin and see all his toys due to my last job god I miss that place and Justin is super humble, but please show the rest of the warehouses and vehicles he has

*I think if I'd ever find myself in such a garage, I'd die for too much enthusiasm just before trying one of these jewels!*

Probably one of the coolest looks at the ripsaw I’ve ever seen. Glad I found you guys on here, and can’t wait for the new season of diesel brothers to drop. You guys are definitely living the dream!

Love the truck full of “Jet A” fuel in the background around 1:50!

I remember when the Howe brothers first introduced the Ripsaw it had a blown 427 GM BB in it and I remember thinking it was insane then! Its obviously been much more refined now but it looks equally capable as it used to be, crazy brilliant machine!

That skit had me rolling when you were out in the middle of nowhere and running up screaming wait! I'm here trying to get ahold of you about your car's extended warranty! 😂😂 That was a chuckle burp fart moment 😂😂😂

OMG!!! Please, please work out something and make one of these Ripsaws a giveaway. Hell, I'd settle for just getting to drive one for a few hours!!! Man you dudes have a blast. Thanks for letting us ride along.

Video idea: drive through town in a line with all the vehicles in the hummer warehouse

I'm thinking you have not watched enough of the Cleetus videos to fully understand how sacred the grass is at the freedom factory. I was hoping to hear you made it up to him. Your one of my RU-vid favorites, so make us proud!

I watched these BEASTS come to live from the ground up a few yrs back and it was unreal

I love how Heavy D describes how everything works!

That was best video yet! And when he said “ no words just noises coming out of my mouth.” That was hilarious. Awesome! I want one now. Appreciate Justin for letting them come over.

I’m surprised they haven’t had one of these on the channel sooner

Я смотрел Вашу передачу на Дискавери,но так-как его в России перестали транслировать Я обязан быть подписан на Вас,и смотреть за Вашим творчеством. Вы очень крутые ребята. 👍🤟

A ripsaw would be the perfect winter grocery getter in western Maine .

Used to love their show on Discovery. The Howe brother's now work for Textron, awesome equipment and some very cutting edge R&D.

Wow Justin is such a cool and humble guy. Thanks for sharing your collection with us sir!

I just love it 34years ago we had fun like that , military testing and trying to brake the Rooikat from South Africa. We had 4 vehicle's, 4 Crew each vehicle. This was in the development stages of the vehicle, if it brake it must be improved, thus an amazing vehicle at the end. The Rooikat was a 8 wheel 8x8 the 4 front wheels steering. This vehicle was doing 95Km/h bundu bashing and 165Km/h on the highway. This was pushing it to the limits. Going over trenches 2 meters wide just cruzing at full throttle. Sand dunes in the desert was an absolute rollercoaster ride. Fling over the top of a dune and coming down only touching the far rear wheels basically smashing the undercarriage of the vehicle on the bottom of the dunes. Just a bounce and continue to fly over the sand . 28tons of armor vehicle felt like a porsche flying through bush or sand. That was my amazing thrill and never experienced that again in my life , bike rides at 280Km/h or cars @260Km/h just not the same 😂 lol I know how you feel, a kid in a magic moment. I just love your experience with your crew/ friend's Awesome 👍😎

A ton of fun and thank you for always teaching us something keeps us hooked👊👌😎

I like how Heavy D explained how the Ripsaw works

Definitely my dream ride!!! Love the ripsaw ever since the howe brothers show came out showing the build!!! We need a ripsaw giveaway at 1 million subscribers ❤️

I think its great that it takes you 10 minutes to finally get into the vehicle which your video is about. Incredible job.

I've followed howe tech since their beginning, I still think they are among the coolest humans on the planet. I'd love to have anything built by howe tech...

That thing is insane! And just something for everyone to remember, it may look like someone has everything you could ever want but what you haven't seen is how hard they had to work to get that far.

Dude was such a good sport about you guys just sending his vehicle 😂

You guys have to much fun. Love it.

Amazing beast , I could only dream of . Fantastic job who ever made it

Everyone needs a friend like Justin!!

You guys should build your own Ripsaw! You got the skills.

I like how the suspension looks like the old german Panzer III - IV one, except for the rear sprocket ofc.

I'm a 60 year old man. And your channel is awesome. Wish I had something to have with like that.

The only thing that I could think for the Rip Saw in it's military application would be a GAU 8 center mounted on top.

I appriciate the engineering behind vehicles like this that make them a beast off road even though you know most people who could afford to buy one will never take it off pavement

😂😂😂 heavy D face is everything, he look like a little kid ❤ so funny !!

Wow that ripsaw kicked butt, thanks for sharing that!

So damn right about the ripsaw tho literally the most ultimate man's vehicle

You should just start inviting depressed people out to go for a drive and they'd all leave with a smile haha.

Man so glad I found this channel, been binge watching all week.

I recommend that you test drive a Sherp, this rig is very cool, but a Sherp will not get stuck or sink, in the worst bog you've ever been in. They have Diesel engines too 🙂

The Howe brothers are awesome to work with, new rippy's go 100 mph!

Absolutely bad ASS them howe&howe boys build some amazing stuff

13:46: "Zero to seventy in, like, a few seconds": just like any other vehicle out there.

As a person that runs skid steer everyday all day hauling them with an LBZ duramax, I want one of these passionately 😂

All this talk about a 'clutch-release system' on the rear end...When i first saw the Howe brothers Ripsaw videos back many moons ago, when they were first starting out and playing with their radio-controlled tracked vehicle (I refuse to call it a 'tank'), I knew they were using a (heavy-duty) stock open differential. Brake one side, power shunts through the spider gears in the third member and goes to the other track. Just like in a car. The wheel that has the least traction spins while the other sits there. I imagine they broke alot of differentials that way, making a factory part handle all that torque.

I remember watching the howe brothers show a few years back and seeing the awesome stuff they make. Ya that ripsaw has been a wet dream of mine for a while now.

That Ripsaw is insane. It would be awesome to take that out for a spin.

imagine how good this Ripsaw would be as a recovery vehicle...

I've literally wanted a ripsaw ever since I saw the Howe and Howe tech episode air! Those things are so awesome!

Anyone else notice the king shocks on the ripsaw and instantly say “oh shit...that thing means business”

Dang, I didn’t know the ripsaw had Christie suspension and used clutch and brake steering. That’s cool. It’s 1920’s tank technology. I remember the Howe brother’s old show I thought it was higher tech than that.

That's the greatest thing I've ever seen I was just stuck with a smile on my face the whole video

The determined telemarketer skit is from Ross Creations, you can tell they are Vlog Creations fans lol

That was built literally right down the road from me👍I've watched them test those insane vehicles

You should know that everyone needs an uplifting video! ❤️. I love watching your video because I don't need to feel depressed and bad.

Great content. Im a diesel tech USN I love all the stuff you guys do.

Every video is a solid banger

The ripsaw would be my top choice as well and has been one of my favorites for YEARS! Mark my words, you are definitely going to get one after this video I see it in your eyes hahaha Edit- I wrote this comment literally 3 seconds before you said not having it is no longer an option hahaha

That's the coolest thing I have ever seen. I drove a lot of vehicles in the Marines but nothing compares to that thanks

I'D KILL to DRIVE the Ripsaw! That LOOKS GREAT Dave! RAWK ON!!!

I would love the armored hummer. The ripsaw looks amazing as well. A girl can dream.

“To see why you need a Ripsaw Tank in your life” well DD, you had me sold at like the 0:30 mark... but you forgot the part where you said it’s a HALF A MILLION DOLLARS 🤣

My Grandson 10, is all in on the Ripsaw! First behind the wheel of "Ampa's" big __uck" -770 Volvo two days before he turned 2 he has had the driving bug ever since.

I would love to take this thing out to the Sonoran Desert and just have a blast.

I would just like to say have a blessed rest of your day and be happy 😆

That yellow h1 is freaking sick that would be my dream ride the hell with my escalade I'd roll in that

I'd pick that ripsaw over anything, any day. That's is handsdown one of the most badass vehicles ever conceived.

Man you guy seem like the coolest boss in the world if I ever had a chance to work for you guys man it would be a dream come true keep the videos coming and keep up the awesome work and God bless!!!!

Yo yo I like them all...but that hummer 6x6 is kickass to me, then armor hummer, ripsaw, then that limo. But unreal collection man, love these type of videos just make my day 🔥👊🔥🏍🛻🚙🚜🤙🔥thx to guy for letting you get footage and show collection 👊

Would love to see the RIPSHAW up against a SHERP!

Great show it’s lots of fun. I literally had nothing to do with this covert before watching the show that shows amazing and probably are great to help people In trouble Love it

Heavy D SPARKS,u nailed ,the how to Passion into a fortune

THAT TANK IS A FRICKEN BAD ASS BEAST

I remember watching the Howe bros on discovery Channel like 10 years ago. Glad to see some ripsaw action again

I am super jealous as well lmao. Bin watching the ripsaw ever since its introduction. What a concept/beast. I bought the house against my better judgement lmao.

That's a stupid cool crazy machine. Thank you for sharing with us.

23 comments in the first minute. Channel is getting huge. Congrats guys

If he would've said the word "magical" one more time, I would've had to assume that the ripsaw was a mythical beast

Now that looks awesome Always wanted to make a smaller version out of a cat's skid steer

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming

Police Corvette: Run, we dare you. Ripsaw: lolol, k

Lmfao idk why but I lost it when he went “I’m in heaven, I’m dead *closes eyes* that’s what it looks like I’m in heaven”

The original cable and box section tracks always looked a bit sketchy to me. Like welding something to a twisted wire rope stops the strands being able to move how they were intended to during the rope flexing. The rubber tracks look way better suited. Such a rad machine. Come a long way. Big respect to the Howe brothers.

By far some of the coolest machines in the world. That garage was heaven

Wow............. wow. I wish I had a friend like Justin that would be awesome.

Money could start to buy my happiness right now I'm working for misery and peanuts.

Dude that ripshaw is so awesome I wish I had one of those that thing is badass

I love your 1st reaction that's gold

Sparks asking Justin if it can go sideways: “Hey Justin can it go sidewa- YES”

I needed to get my sunglasses just for the glare coming off of heavy Ds forehead

That thing is crazy thanks man all the best from Northern California

5:03 look at the little birdie On that extended car insurance crap.
