@@buildingwithbrian have you used it? Besides i said it was rough, I didn’t say it couldn’t stand up to ploughing sand. The crowning glory was painting it red, it is akin to putting lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. Ok a bit harsh, and I don’t know how long you’ve been doing it, keep going don’t let dicks like me put you off👍
I don't take random people on the internet seriously. I've used it a bit mostly chipping rock, not as much as I had hoped. I ended up selling the BH77 and it went with it because the BH77 was super slow.
@@buildingwithbrian I’m not sure what machine that is, I take it’s about 1.5 ton or so. When I was doing a bit, well from 16 to my mid 40s my main job was welding for Demag, komatsu , Terex and so on. The smallest excavator was about 40ton up to 1000ton walking dragline ( Marion ) It’s always a horses for corses thing when it comes to welding as you said, it did the job. I hated those plasmas, can’t really see what your doing and if it’s not cutting well, not a lot you can do but change parts. I much prefer oxy acetylene.
I used it probably a dozen times for about 12 cubic yards total before I sold the backhoe and let it go with it. I bought an excavator so the BH77 wasn't being used.
What, no plowing through the Ground? Im sad now :D Im going to build sth similar but with several Rippers next to each other. Hopefully i then can scoop the dirt up with my Loader.
@@buildingwithbrian Ok, you welded bosses on one side so you could have bolt holes to hold the pins. Just weld a pair on the other side too. Will keep the pins aligned and make everything last longer. Nice work. Cheers from Australia.
@@buildingwithbrian The bosses are the bits of tube you welded only onto one side. Put em on both sides and the ripper, pins and hitch will last longer.
Thats awesome, i need to work on my ripper bar for the 3 point on my tractor. Nice meeting you at the good of the land today.
You and me both! We need a large single ripper shank with weights for the decomposed granite on our property.
Was fun to watch 👍🏻
And now where’s the video of it in use?
Brian Combs awesome congratulations 🎈🎊🍾
Very good and fun work, super! I use loader blade to make a stump ripper 18" long for my Hitachi EX50.
One of these days I'll get some footage of me using this thing. I never have a large enough project to film for it.
My mate Ben done welding like that. He’s a Grate dane Labrador cross, and every time I asked him what his welding was like he answered ruff.
It hasn't broken yet

I suppose the first stump you ripped out was that very useful anvil stump!!
Actually that stump stayed and rotted out. It was primarily used on cedar stumps till I sold the BH77 and gave it with it.
Would like to see it at work
I got a few clips but never got to get any good video of it working. I eventually sold the BH77 and bought an excavator.
That'll work !
i need to build me one of these
How many yards (or miles !) of ripping did you manage before you were blunted out ?
I used it probably a dozen times for about 12 cubic yards total before I sold the backhoe and let it go with it. I bought an excavator so the BH77 wasn't being used.
I like it. Dirty and to the point. It's almost Death Metal. Lol.
Sub'd
Building with Brian
Tight. I'll be tuning in. Happy New Year man.
I need that ripper with 1 inch pins 5 1/2 spacing.. Can you do it?
What, no plowing through the Ground? Im sad now :D Im going to build sth similar but with several Rippers next to each other. Hopefully i then can scoop the dirt up with my Loader.
I've got a project coming soon where I am going to use this. Basically the L2501 doesn't have the hydraulic power so I haven't used it much.
Did you say what thickness material?
I don't recall if I said it but this was 7/16ths plate
Welding tips and tricks on RUclips check it out.
If you had put bosses on both sides it would last longer.

You sure don't weld for looks do you
Nope. Not a pro by a mile but it hasn't broken yet.
