![]() ![]() On my 07 35D there is only one metric bolt to hold the wedge, with two safety pins to hold wedge in case bolt would break, you would not drop bucket. It does get easier to do after the paint wears off. Changing is less than a minute even with a ratchet and pry bar or hammer. I have a 35g with a 12,18,24,30 smooth and 48 smooth. How quick is it to change buckets anyway? I haven't tried it yet, as I only have the one. Here's a video of a guy using a ripper to get an idea: Edited by J.L. That's what that overgrown brake drum looking thing was used for in the background. Picking something heavy up and dropping it works well with the thumb and isn't hard on the machine. On a side note: I learned that day if you ever have to break up a concrete pad and don't have a breaker handy. That hole isn't where they came from it's where I pushed them in and burned.Īnd a ripper wouldn't have gone deep enough for these unless you switched back and forth between the bucket which would get real old fast. Had to dig a ramp to get them out after they were loose. I took these three out doing just like don said. Might just stick some rock teeth on my bucket and pretend to be happy until I can try a ripper. But this little hoe is sure nice for what they are made for. I run bigger machines some, it's fun to pull out stumps with a big one. On a machine this size start away from stump and get rid of dirt and cut the roots. You have to get a hole to dig out the roots, frost tooth doesn't get deep enough to do the job. Do some tree removal, don't see much difference between the 18 and 24 breaking out roots. As longer as you don't dig deep is only OK, but wasn't worth the hassle. Have rented a 12 inch bucket for a narrow footer that a customer wanted and agree with other posts, the thumb mount pin is wider than the bucket. I have a 35D with three buckets, 18, 24, and a 30 smooth edge bucket. Done some tree removal, don't see much difference between the 18 and 24 breaking out roots. I could see mud packing in that V easily. Well, I think I'm convinced I don't need a 12" bucket, but how would something like this work? As for a 12" bucket I rarely use mine as dirt sticks bad and it is narrower then my thumb. I use a one on a 50 size machine for roots and breaking concrete, the geometry of the ripper allows you the use the bucket cylinder to pry while breaking roots instead of relying on the stick and boom to do all the work. I would say this offers about a 40% improvement in taking out trees over the 24" bucket.Ī single tine or ripper shank is going to be the easiest thing to break roots on a small machine since you only cut them in one spot. If you have a deere hydraulic thumb on it-the pin bosses will be wider than the bucket which may be a problem at times if you want to trench with the 12" bucket.Īnd yes the little buckets pack with wet clay very easily.Įdit to add: A frost tooth/ripper attachment might be something to look at-I'd like to try one. I rarely use it but yes it is a little better at breaking roots. I’m not sure how big of trees your referring to but if they are any size at all you need a much bigger machine. I've dug some pretty big ones out so far, but I got alot more to go. Realize I didnt buy a huge tree taker outter, would a 12" bucket with rock teeth help take out trees better?ĭoes a bucket that small get dirt stuck in it bad?
