does anyone remember the stated break out force for the mini hoe that fits the 425 tractor, for some reason I am thinking it is 1500 lbs but not sure, thinking of bolting rippers onto my bucket one on each side to rip out tree roots on 4-6'' saplings then pushing them over, if the hydraulics are strong enough and not collapsing the bucket in the process,

I have never seen break out force specifications for any PT or PT implement--are you sure they have been published?

PT web site lists the breakout force of the 2425 backhoe as 2500lbs--cylinders and linkage appear to be identical, so that should be close, hydraulic pressures are the same also. A phone call to Terry should verify.

wa****a,

Why not build yourself a dedicated ripper for those projects that need concentrated force in a small area such as root pulling, etc. Similar to the pictures below. The ones below, can be purchased, but if you can get some A-36, or A-400 steel, you could draw out a blade/ripper design, that would have teeth on the front and back to perform a sawing action on the larger roots, and put a curve in the blade to reach under and pull up smaller roots. Sort of like a grapple tine with teeth, like in the two grapple pictures. Serrated edges.

I do have a ripper very similar to the one shown on the left what I run into the ground is sandy it pulls roots up easily but looks like 6-12 foot long noodles laying on the ground I would prefer to break them close to the base when possible my brother in law spends hours digging up 4-6 sapling stumps his backhoe has difficulty breaking roots :D maybe I should try my mini hoe maybe green works better than orange:eek: now I have used my tiller to break roots and push over a 12 tree :cool: do not think I should submit my tiller to this kind of use:) but it was fun
