Leading Edge Attachments Hi-Production Multi-Ripper can replace a hydraulic hammer for breaking through rock, frozen ground, and coral, according to the company.
Use of the ripper is easier on the machine, requires less maintenance, allows for ease in switching over to a bucket, and uses no hydraulic lines, the company says, while ripping the sides and bottom of the trench flat with no depth limitation. The new HP version has five shanks instead of three. These extra two shanks allow the operator to double the rotation of the tool to ultimately increase ripping productivity.
