How to choose

Rippers and rakes open ground and pull things out of it, which is the work a bucket cannot do. A ripper puts the whole force of the machine on one point or a few points, so it enters frozen soil, compacted clay, stony fill, soft rock and old surfaces, breaks the layer up, and leaves the material to be loaded afterwards with an ordinary digging bucket. A rake does the opposite: tines instead of a shell, so roots, brush and stones come out while the soil falls through and stays on the plot. The range covers both ends of the carrier list. RIP mini, MR mini, LR mini and LRS work on mini excavators. RIP is the single shank ripper for 14 to 65 t machines and MR is the five leg multi-ripper for 11 to 32 t. DuoRIP pulls stumps and root systems with two shanks. RRB rakes in a bucket profile and can carry what it collects, RRH adds a hydraulic clamp, and RC cuts single roots with a narrow blade.

  1. 1

    Ripper or rake

    Ask what has to leave the ground. A ripper breaks a layer so it can be dug or loaded. A rake separates roots and stones from the soil and leaves the soil behind. Clearing a plot before levelling is rake work, opening frost or hard clay is ripper work.

  2. 2

    One point or several

    A single shank goes deepest and is the tool for the hardest layer. A multi-ripper puts five legs in the ground at once, so one pass loosens a wider strip and leaves smaller pieces. On a frost layer or compacted fill the multi-ripper is usually faster.

  3. 3

    Match the size to the carrier

    RIP is built in four sizes for 14 to 65 t and MR in four sizes for 11 to 32 t, from 415 to 994 kg. DuoRIP covers 2.5 to 30 t in four sizes from 102 to 565 kg. Below that, the mini versions are the ones that do not overload the boom.

  4. 4

    Think about the tips before the price

    The tip is the part that wears. RIP mini takes a replaceable tip, RIP carries a CAT 9W-2451 point in every size, and MR and DuoRIP take teeth in the CAT J series, BYG and ESCO UltraLok systems, so a tip is changed rather than a body.

Questions we are asked

Which tool opens frozen ground?
A ripper. RIP mini is the one for mini excavators, RIP for a single deep line on a large machine, and MR when a wide strip has to be loosened in one pass rather than a single slot cut.
Can I clear roots without losing the topsoil?
That is what a rake does. LR mini and LRS pull roots, brush and stones out while the soil falls back through the tines, so the good material stays on the plot instead of being carted away in a bucket.
What handles stumps?
DuoRIP. Two shanks go deep and lift the root system out, in four sizes for machines from 2.5 to 30 t. Where a single root has to be cut instead, RC uses a narrow 170 to 250 mm blade so the force lands on a short edge.
Can a rake load what it rakes?
RRB is a rake in a bucket profile, so it collects, carries and dumps. RRH adds a hydraulic clamp on top, which holds brush and debris against the tines so a load can be lifted and placed.
