Anyone have a Ripper for sale?

[MOlivin]

Hi all,

Been looking for a Ripper for a BH92, but their all a small fortune just for this little hook.

Does anyone have a used one for sale? I'm just using it to cut through rocky clay ground to put electrical in, instead of using the 16" bucket making a mess.

Thanks all!

Will one for a BH77 work?

 

[MOlivin]

I'm not sure, do you have a make/model of the ripper? I can call the manuf. and find out.

 

[GreensvilleJay]

possible option 'j'......
If this is a one shot deal, rent a 'trencher' for HD or similar.FASTER and NEATER than a BH+ripper.

Have usde a subsoiler in the past.

A ripper is an amazing tool.
A company in Georgia makes great custom rippers,.......OX Thumbs.com
I bought a ripper ( 28" depth -new ) from them last year for my L48 TLB.
Kinda pricy at $1,000 delivered, and likely a bit larger (deeper) than you could use.
Checkout their website! -oxthumbs.com
Might also be worth a phone call......770-862-4653

BX said their ripper will not work on a BH92. DAMN!

I was originally looking at MIE's ripper because of the 7" back plate on it, but it's right up there at $1200 with shipping.

I've not heard of the OXThumbs, I'll take a look and see what they got.

Thanks!

Take a 4' long piece of 3/16" or heavier angle iron and CHAIN it to the front of your bucket.... (vertical) leave enough on the bottom to go as deep as you want.

lower the bucket and put the tractor on 4wd turtle speed and drag it in reverse.....

poor mans ripper.

If your ground wasn't rocky -clay, you could ruin your chain saw blade and bar...

Or use a pressure washer...

Rocks can be a hassle, but in my experience clay is worse. THE worst. A BH ripper sounds like the best way but it's going to be a rockem'
shakem' fun ride on you and you BH.

Right on. I was thinking something similar. But his ground is clay... and rocks. He needs a BH ripper and patience.

EDIT: Or a Cat D6 or similar with one ripper. Or a herd of young laborers with pick axes and shovels.

Is yours a pin on, or do you have a QA bucket?

What does "small fortune" mean in your mind? I'd suggest making your own but you might think that's too expensive as well...

Mine is quick attach, and the bucket is too.

Last Fall I dug 1500' 3.5' deep 18"w for a main electrical line in it... and just did another 100' at 8' deep for drain lines... it takes a bit, but it works. It's great when you hit a rock thats about 2' big.

Dug a 1.5'd ditch down a hillside 1200' long last month, all wash good until I hit a rock plate in one spot. Went 3' down, left of the ditch about 1' and right of the ditch about 2.5'. That one was the hard one.

$1200 is average for one of these with shipping... a small fortune for a little hook.

Meet the Scorpion...

Inflict 10,000+ lbs of mayhem and destruction with The SCORPION! Maximum carnage! 1" thick tooth AR400 ripper weighs only 125 lbs. Takes out a 24" diameter ash tree stump with ease. The forked tooth on the end is to make yanking small invasive trees out of the gardens easier. My wife said this...

Fabbing the parts is cheap enough so long as your time and machine time is "free"

 

[GreensvilleJay]

hmm, wondering how long the OP has to go and what 'electrical' really is ?
I've always dropped conduit into the ground,2' deep then run wires,gas,water in the conduits.

Yup,......"a small fortune for a little hook"
But,......It is something if needed, has no peer.
Mine weighs about 125 lb.

With a chain saw? Or a pressure washer?

8' deep? Or did you mean 8"?

8 Feet deep requires shoring.

Sorry, i am easily confused online.... it is all without voice inflection.

Thanks.
Be well. Tractor on.
