Finally, I got a picture! I received the tooth some time ago. I could dig out a parking spot (first pic) the tooth was greatly appr馗iated to rip out some of the roots from the maple, and mostly to remove a stump. And other add on I appreciated was the "slip-on" blade on the bucket, to smooth out the job and to spread around the gravel: great! (second pic).
And finally, the pic of the tooth prior it first uses. The curling power of that tooth is pretty amazing, to remove a rock of to cut a bigger root. My regular bucket (16'') is no match!

Nice tooth!
Isn't that the answer for the old joke, "how do you complement a red neck woman?" Nice tooth!
Sorry i couldn't resist- now I will suffer the slings and arrows of all the red necks on the site.
That's great Phil. I am digging the slip-on blade. Here is a pic of the ripper I got from MIE. It also is nice and highly recommended.
Happy ripping!

Nice tooth! Where abouts are you in Eastern Townships? My wife is from Cowansville!
Phil 48,
I have the second generation of the ripper tooth from MIE, and I've called it the 'claw', not knowing that 4 shorts may have cornered the term prior to my using it for the MIE design, (with the added serrated teeth), for most effective ripping of roots, etc.
What I really like from your toolbag is the slide on bucket teeth cover with flat edge, for scraping clean areas one may have already dug up- just like a real excavator bucket can do!
Where did you get that item, what did it cost, and where can I order one? My hoe is the 2485 and may have another tooth or two- I don't recall at the moment.
Any assistance in this would be greatly appreciated. You can PM me if you prefer.
Thanks,
CM
