BX25D backhoe ripper question

[Code54]

Has anyone looked at the DR ripper for their backhoe? I was looking on the web at DR stuff and noticed they have a ripper tooth. I started thinking I wonder if I could get that to fit the BX. When I looked that the reviews I noticed one person said they used it on their Kubota and it fit. Just wondering if anyone else looked at this or have tried one.

Bro-Tek Ripper Tooth

Any idea what the Bro-Tek unit cost? If the DR unit fits, thats not a bad price.

I too would like an idea of Richards cost of ripper. Have his thumb 2 skid plates forks good stuff. DR has a pack of 16" 8" and ripper for about $500 with ship. Wish the dr reviewer had listed his model Kub

I can't imagine trying to dig a stump with a 9 HP BH...let alone "ripping one out"...:laughing:

I think I recall someone from here bolted a ripper from a boxblade to the side of his backhoe bucket, & it seemed to work out pretty good.

I want to say the Bro-Tek was around $300. For ½ the price I think this looks interesting. I need to take some measurements on the Kubota mount and see how it matches up with he DR.

Code54 If you get the dr measurements please post them or the source for them here. Thanx PR
