Backhoe Ripper tooth - 2485 bucket mount specs

[Mainahs70]

Heyahs

Was talking with Ryan at BXpanded regarding their ripper tooth and believe the specs for their JD260 bucket mount are very close to the 2475 specs. Could someone verify the 2485 bucket mount specs to see if a custom build would work? I really like the design of their ripper and he's willing to use 3/4" steel to handle the 2485's extra force.

Thanks

Funny thing I sent them an e-mail yesterday asking if they had made one for the 2485. Please post any updates as I would order one two. Their design just looks wicked.

I got the same response when I sent an email last week. When I called to verify a PTB order yesterday, I asked Ryan about the ripper. He was very helpful and said the JD260 mount was very close to the 2475 mount. I'm trying to verify the dimensions and then he'll custom make one.

Any updates on this? A friend just bought a NX5510 HST + 2485 and we spent a long time last weekend on a few small stumps.

After I took delivery of my tractor, my measurements on the bucket mount didn't jive with BK's. I ordered the Bro-tek Bro-Tek for 390+40 shipping without the trencher. The MIE looks good but my local dealer wanted 895 + 100 shipping. The bro-tek came in last week so I haven't had a chance to try it yet. It does seem strongly made. My EA grapple should be in next week and Excavator should be done on foundations so I'll give it a go then.

Funny thing I ordered the Bro-Tek without trencher last week so it should be showing up any day. I could not justify the price difference btw the MIE unit. I am also on week 10 for my EA grapple order so I am hoping it ships soon.
