What happened to the Ripper thread?

[John T]

I know it seemed like spam at first....

but after researching the product I actually bought one.... along with a quick disconnect.

good communication through the company ... and I'm watching the tracking.... due to arrive on Sept. 10th

..... Am I the first one to try this brand?

most folks seem to go with the BXpanded stuff.....

I liked the aggressive teeth on this one...

I suspect that the aggressive teeth are for buyer appeal.
I have a larger ripper (from a different maker) for a larger machine, and it does not have, or need, aggressive teeth!

Perhaps...

but then again the BX is a smaller machine... so maybe it helps .. ?

I will give a ride report when I get it.

Understood!
The $369.99 listed price was obviously the tip off.

What is it that you understood? What was the tip off about the price?

Do you expect that John T got sucked into a scam?

I looked at the link that John T posted and see nothing that would scare me away at first look…

Just curious…

$369.99 for a 'ripper"?
Maybe, cardboard construction?

Not sure what you are implying.... "cardboard construction" ???

Are you saying that it should be more expensive???

The ripper is for a small BX hoe...
But anyway, to clarify pricing.... $369.99 is CANADIAN Dollars....
Its actually $273.94 USD

Which is pretty close to what Bxpanded is getting for theirs... ($279.00)

It seems that am not making a valid comparison.
I paid exactly $1,000 for my ripper.

I will clarify the Original post was deleted because it's a VENDOR not paying to post on the forum.
Not because of any issue with the Business or the implement.

Looks like a decent unit - thanks for the update.
