Homemade Root Ripper For Backhoe

[Gofast]

Nice looking root ripper.

I made one not too long ago I really like it. I think it is a game changer for a small backhoe.
I have been clearing a fence line with mine.
The only item I have made I like better is the quick attach for my backhoe.

I'm assuming you mean for the bucket(s) and other attachments? I was thinking about making one as well, but didn't want to sacrifice the curl force.

Nice work. Like the double hook idea

Mine is similar to Bxpanded.
Backhoe Bucket Connector


I am sure it does reduce force but I don't notice it at all.
It allows me to switch between my buckets. I have made a 6" and a 16" bucket. I also have the OEM 10" bucket. very quick to switch between them.



You can see it it this picture.

Nice. Yeah, I have a 12" bucket, 9" bucket, and now the ripper. We'll see how long I put up without a quick attach (especially with the thumb sharing a pin). LOL

Snymat68: Very cool attachment and fabrication job.

Gofast : can you add more specitics to the BH quick connect? I have a Yanmar Gio 15 the a 18 & 12" bucket and thumb. A quick attach would make this much eiser and a ripper would be fantastic.

Thanks

Hi guys -
I have looked and asked a lot of manufacturers about a ripper for an Ansung BH860 = Branson BH86 backhoe. A lot of manufacturers are unable to check due to the current health scare. I had one fabricator give me a very high price to make one for me based on the approximate design that started this tread off.....

Anyone know where I can get an off-the-shelf root ripper that will fit this backhoe?

Thanks everyone!!
