BXPanded contact?

[eubie5]

Actually sounds like poor planning on the consumers part. People order implements in the Spring and then are disappointed when manufacturing takes longer then planned. Hurry up and wait or do without. Living in Alaska, the only think immediate is the weather. My Wicked 60 grapple from EA took several months and the wait was well worth it. Same is true with the Piranha Tooth Bar from Bxpanded.

poor planning on my part???
i guess your right, i should have bought my tractor last winter, which i assume is their slow time. but, seeing as i've had my tractor for about 1 month, and ordered the PTB as soon as i decided on which tractor to get, not sure what else i could've done. people aren't complaining on how long it takes to make the product, it's the absolute failure to respond to the consumer, and when they do, it's with false info.
i don't think i've seen anyone say they are cancelling their order, i know i'm not.

Believe me, I understand. Poor customer service and lack of communication is very irritating and so unnecessary. Companies need to demand more from themselves and their employees. We are seeing a nationwide epidemic of company apathy.

Not just companies. Much of today's youth don't care enough to qualify as apathetic. I started working as a paperboy at 13, but most students graduating high school this year have never had a job. Many can't read a tape measure or make change without a calculator, but can post to Instagram and are seeking sponsors.

Do they update their website with tracking information when they ship?
(If you ordered online)

Yes. Or at least they did with my recent shipment.

Just talked with Tony(i think that's his name), and he says my order will ship on Wednesday. I ordered the PTB and the hydraulic test kit.
Fingers crossed Wednesday is the day. I was also told it would ship last Friday, so we'll see.

Don't want to wait? Make your own! :cool2:
(Also, they don't offer anything for RK tractors, so I am charting new territory.)

Picked up the steel yesterday. Made the ripper itself last night (out of 3/4 x 6).
After spending 4 hours between a cold-cut saw, angle grinder, and sawz-all, I was really wishing for a waterjet, but I got'r done!
It's a little hard to see in the pictures, but all the teeth and the rear hook are tapered to an edge in the center of the material thickness.

Tonight I will be working on the top plate, gussets, and the mounting plates with the pin holes.
Time permitting I might get some of the welding done this evening also.
Will have less than $150 in it once it's all said and done.

Out of curiosity, for anyone that has a ripper, how thick is it?
I decided to go with 3/4" for mine. One thing's for sure, I'll never break it!

This is for my own personal use. I'm not selling them. Also, I'm fabricating this for my RK tractor, which they currently offer no products for. Being that the only thing I did was trace the profile, and then also change the profile somewhat on mine, I'm not duplicating any product of theirs. I'm not even sure something as common and simple as a tooth pattern on a backhoe ripper could be patented.

Not for personal use.
If it was a copyrighted or patented design made for sale then , yep.

WOOHOOO, finally got my email that my order has shipped. I ordered 4/17, so exactly 28 days. I got the hydraulic test kit and the PTB. I told them I wanted to use 3"edge tamer with the PTB. Not sure if they already fit, or mine had to be specially made.
But, it should be here by end of day tmrw.
Very happy
