GC1710 ripper tooth in action

Went at one of mi friend to help him remove an apple tree stump.
So here's the footage of mi GC1710 ripper tooth in action.
He did cut to 2 roots the first one was 4 inch and the second one was 6 inch and was going strait down.
Love the set up of having the ripper on the bucket and be able to dig as well as to use the ripper so I don't have to change it all the time.

Good morning Teddy Bear! Nice job with the BH and the Tooth. Enjoyed watching that and like how the tooth slices through the ground. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@MRnounoursSQ]

Thanks GP Was thinking of welding some sharp tooth on the ripper to cut the roots. Just got mi self a ripper tooth action again for next weekend a spruce hedge to remove.Have a nice week mi friend.

Nice work , so nice to see that stump come out . God bless

[@FromSteelToWood]

Well done! Looks the apple tree knew you were coming and grew a vertical root just for you! Thanks!

[@MRnounoursSQ]

Well looks like the apple tree didn't see mi friend coming out whit the chainsaw me to first thing I herd was the chainsaw running LOL!!

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

Nice ripper tooth that you made. I like the idea of being able to use a bucket along with the ripper tooth. Good video thanks for sharing. Later

[@MRnounoursSQ]

Thanks Mech me to was thinking of making a ripper that goes on the pin but prefer this set up you use the ripper and bucket at the same time.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

It worked great!! NICE JOB!! Good to see you on the tractor!!

[@MRnounoursSQ]

Thanks John I'm on the drawing board to build a screening bucket mi friend.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

A screening bucket? I can't wait to see it!

[@WalkerOutdoors]

Nice work

[@daveknowshow]

ripper held up nice. those apple trees can have some nasty tap roots. hard to rip them out when they go straight down like that.

[@MRnounoursSQ]

Yes and we didn't wont to dig to deep after it would have compacted later on would have made a hole.

[@daveknowshow]

very true!

[@MrThenry1988]

It done just fine.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

What a battle but you won!!!

[@MRnounoursSQ]

Thanks Grampie's Workshop. Well it was a nice battle no one was injured.

Great ripper and BH action, Serge. Did the ripper plate require the teeth be removed on the BH? Nice ripping action. I just purchased a sub-soiler that I will use later down the road to remove some roots so I'll make a video on that. Right now, I'm focusing all my time getting debris off the ground from the hurricane and then I'll be set to do some real chores. Thumbs up and great work with the ripper. Enjoyed the entire video.

[@MRnounoursSQ]

I Don , thanks. Yes I unbolt the teeth and bolt on the ripper.Love the set up of having the ripper on the bucket and be able to dig as well as to use the ripper so I don't have to change it all the time.I'm thinking of making mi self a screening bucket.Have a nice week.

[@houndsmanone4563]

I like the action of the ripper. It went through those roots easily. Can't wait to see your screening bucket.

[@MRnounoursSQ]

The ripper tooth I will add some saw tooth on it and the screening bucket is one of mi next big project.

[@JoshHarvey]

Nice ripper tooth. I bet it would help breaking frozen ground also.

[@MRnounoursSQ]

I did not try it in frozen ground yet

[@MrThenry1988]

I bought a 1725. Digs good enough in tight spots.

[@Don.E.63]

Tim Henry, How are you liking the 1725?
Im looking at the 1726e has it held up good so far? Thanks

[@MrThenry1988]

[@timothypitts7063]

Is this a homemade tooth or can I purchase one ?

[@MRnounoursSQ]

Homemade made it my self and work great

[@aaronstestlab]

9:46 very satisfying

[@ibcnu2987]

What dropped into the grass below the pin at 1:15?

[@MRnounoursSQ]

some rock and dirt

[@kenjett2434]

Although this ripper tooth is a great tool using it for tree roots isnt a job for this type tool. Riping rock and hard pack clay is what this tool is best at. I dont recall the name of the teeth but they ard approximately 6 or 8 inches long they are excellent for digging roots and stumps.

[@MRnounoursSQ]

I'm sorry but a ripper is a ripper some company only give them big name like "SABRE TOOTH STUMP & ROOT RIPPER" and added some tooth on it. I'm thinking of adding some tooth on mine.

[@kenjett2434]

@@MRnounoursSQ the teeth i am referring too bolt on to the bucket like rock teeth but they flare out into two sharp points kinda like a forked tongue. Just dont remember what they are called as i have a terrible memory with names.

[@MRnounoursSQ]

I think I know what you mean I seen them. but I prefer digging 1/2 an inch then 12 inch to dig root all the digging force is all concentrate on 1/2 an inch.

[@kenjett2434]

@@MRnounoursSQ as i said that is good for rock and hard pack clay. But increases time and work when trying to remove roots. Tractor time with Tim has a really good video that demonstrates the difference using both types of tools. My personal experience is with heavy equipment have not had much experience with sub compact. But i am familiar with large rippers and understand there purpose.

To save a lot of time go buy a big backhoe.I could have been done in one swipe.these little backhoes are great for soft ground and little work.you can build a ripper that goes on the bucket linkages.And still use the bucket to dig with.

[@paul-ex1oe]

big backhoes are hevey as hell

I'm guessing your first time running a backhoe ?

That's what I was thinking.
