My Home-Made ripper tooth on a Kubota KX040 Mini Excavator. These 4 trees were leaning towards a pole barn. Also dug a trench for downspout drains. Building the ripper tooth video - • Building a Mini Excava...
I bought a tooth for a box blade. I have a 1ton ht10 mini excavator. I just need to get it fitted to it. It works really well on my subcompact backhoe. I did add 3 layers of 1/4 inch plate steel. And made more like a knife. It will cut more then blunt force. It does work. I bolt to bucket so it will go deeper into the ground.
Very neat and educational Neal. By any chance have you made a video on how you made the root ripper? I have a K7461 rake bucket I use on my Kubota U35-4 but it looked like the root ripper is a better tool. Thank you for the great video.
Thanks for the comment! The ripper works great I definitely recommend! Here is my video of building it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PogDsuMY1Us.html
I am in process of ordering the ripper and tooth to make a ripper like you’re for my Takeuchi tb250. I see your video was 2 years ago has your ripper held up well?
@@tonymartin3327 oh yea it's been great! Only problem is the spikes on the back are all bent up. The spikes are great and help push trees and give leverage when prying. But my 3/8" plate teeth bent back when prying roots. Just make the main thick plate extend out more out the back instead.
I have a 14' dump trailer and I used to haul a kx71-3 in it. I haven't tried to put my kx040 in it. It would probably fit but I'm not sure it would be positioned very well over the axles. I think it would either have way to much tongue weight if you put the boom towards the back and not enough tongue weight if boom stayed forward. You could probably swing the boom and turn the house a bit and maybe get comfortable.
Hey thanks for the question! They're a little expensive but they are Justin Commander X-5. They are waterproof, steel toe, lace up tight for support and pretty comfortable. Link to them here amzn.to/3zwNXAS
And when I'm not wearing lace ups I wear Justin stampede steel toe. I have had 3 sets of these boots and they are great. They are what I'm wearing in the majority of my videos. Link to them here amzn.to/3oSsfTk
Yes sir it was a bit, but at the same time I sold my kx71-3 excavator, kx161-3ss excavator, pt30 track loader and my smaller pj trailer. So I actually came out about even with everything. Where are you based out of?
