Default Re: Ditch digger

As a continuing effort to make my sister in laws road better, I dug one side of the ditch with a middlebuster I acquired and repaired. I like it, but I really need a ripper to break all the roots and rocks. (rocks are part of the junk added to the roadway, not natural like some of you guys have)
I have a piece of metal to make a ripper out of, but it isn't long enough to go full length, so I thought about building it to fit the 2" bar that the middlebuster is mounted on. However, I don't want to have to remove it everytime I need to go from ripper to middlebuster and back. Not being in farming country, I don't have a boneyard to go plunder thru, so I need to know what that 2" bar and it's mounts for the 3 point hitch are called so I don't sound completely stupid when I get on the phone and start calling around. Being a solid bar, I can only imagine what shipping will cost on that.
Anybody know what applications these square bars are used so I can start looking there first?

On another note, it only took them one day to destroy the ditch I dug, by driving close to it, since I made that part so nice and smooth. I guess I am going to have to also buy a post hole digger and put posts up to keep them out of the ditch.
