Big Ox Yellow Box Scrapper Ripper Questions
Good "...ning" Tractor Experts:
Being somewhat new to tractor ownership I have a basic question about attaching rippers to a 5' wide yellow Big Ox Box Scraper; this is a very nicely designed and constructed heavy duty box scraper and has 5 slots for detachable ripper shanks.
I only have 2 of the 5 ripper shanks and looked at attaching them but seems like theres some missing parts and havent really needed to attach them to date; I have used the scraper for drive grading and moving earth extensively but have managed without shanks to date ... I have a small Yanmar 18 HP that handles the scraper OK but does work hard / stops when the box fills with earth.
Any ideas what pieces Im missing and how to attach the ripers to the scraper?Where can I get another 3 ripper shanks? I've done some looking on line but cant seem to get a clear answer ... suggestions appreciated; sorry dont have photos of shanks; tractor is 550 kms away ... right now.

Re: Big Ox Yellow Box Scrapper Ripper Questions
Photos will help - I would check Ebay, Ag supply and maybe just do a google search for rippers and see what you can pull up. Mostly they just slide through a slot with a pin holding it in position.

Re: Big Ox Yellow Box Scrapper Ripper Questions
I couldn't find any current information to help you but it appears your blade is made by Hiniker.
Bob Skurka posted a lot of info some time ago and included some photos of your Hiniker Box Blade I don't recall any other manufacturer that used that type capture for the rippers.Make welfare as hard to get as a building permit

Re: Big Ox Yellow Box Scrapper Ripper Questions
... photo of the box blade now attached in the first post.
thanks for the info all;
Bob does a good review of scrapers; the riper shank looks closest to the Hiniker or maybe Woods setup; no through hole for a pin as on others ... whats holding that ripper in place??? some sort of steel wedge in the back?

Re: Big Ox Yellow Box Scrapper Ripper Questions
That shank has a slot that the lip sits in, and a keeper that slides down the back of the shank. I have one similar.
Rear notch ripper shank.

The second ripper is a front or rear notch ripper shankLast edited by J_J; 01-13-2012 at 01:27 PM.
