Understand Ripper Design and Technique

this curvature we have an extreme curvature that's a mechanical advantage point so I noticed that you just got a very smooth surface I've seen other rippers they got them Jagged saw like edges to them why don't you guys do that a lot of times that's on the back um Don can kind of explain why the saw might be kind of a a poorer option yeah all right the jagged teeth that they often put on the back of these uh-huh it's human nature just like out there when we told you you're going to do four inches with the Mulcher you're gonna try six you're gonna try seven right so if you've got the Jagged Edge on the back of this you're kind of using it for a saw the next thing when you get a thick root is you're going to lift that up and start chopping with it yes you are and when you start chopping with it you're going to be putting a lot of pressure on a lot of pins that's the worst thing you can do like tell my guys never bang on your equipment never Hammer like this it's not meant for that you gotta you need a different tool or a different attachment because all you're doing is stressing everything it's just nice Design This curve not so much the front edge because the back Edge is where all your Leverage is and we've designed this with this much sweep and this style so that it works with the curl of the bucket to give you the maximum amount of Leverage so you can get down behind the route and roll that and when you roll it you're able to pop those roots and you'll feel them pop you'll hear them and you'll know you're getting the key Roots around that stump so that it makes it easier to just roll that stump out when you're done the other Advantage is you're able to reach over the stump and get behind it and pull that over so you can see what's still attached and you're not Excavating a huge moat around a stump like you would with a bucket tell me about this tip it's a cat style replacement tooth that's not proprietary although we'd prefer you call us up and
