Leading Edge Attachments, Inc.’s patented multi-ripper bucket has been shown to replace hammers, blasting and rock trenchers. According to the company, operators have said the ripper/bucket combination can replace a hydraulic hammer for breaking through rock, frozen ground, and coral up to four times faster than a hydraulic hammer; at a fraction of the cost; easier on the machine; with less maintenance, using no hydraulic lines, while ripping the sides and bottom of the trench relatively flat, with no depth limitation. The ripper/bucket is manufactured in U.S. using thick HARDOX 400 Swedish steel shanks and replaceable teeth. www.digrock.com
