I would like to see before and after shots of the stump. Also how big was it?
Your tooth looks similar to the one I had built. I tried it out a few weeks ago and wasn't all that impressed. Then again I'm attempting to remove 16" plus stumps, in the woods. So I'm having to deal with much more than just the stump roots of what I'm trying to remove.
It takes me over 30 minutes to change from ripper to bucket. But the again 85#'s is pretty much at my weight limit. I'm thinking of making some frames so I can keep in position and roll it around.

I does look a like a nice ripper though. Keep us up to date the destruction you do with it.
