The patent pending "SHARC^TM" (SHanks on an ARC) "Multi-Ripper^TM" technology is now available for all models of skid steer loaders! This is yet another engineering breakthrough from Leading Edge Attachments, Inc.!  There is no other attachment for skid steer loaders that is as effective for ripping rock, frost, asphalt, hard packed surfaces or even stumps!  The Multi-Ripper is constructed with thick tough AR400 steel and available to fit any skid steer loader that is equipped with an SAE standard quick coupler.

 The skid steer loader Multi-Ripper functions similarly to that of a trencher except it uses the skid steer loader rolling action to rip.  The staggered ripper teeth fracture the substrate in sequential order.  No two ripper teeth align with each other, so that the maximum breakout force is applied sequentially to each tooth.  The opereator can rip up to 24" deep while being able to rip the sides of the trench.  The Multi-Ripper is 4 times more productive than a hammer for most applications, and will extend the life of the machine. 

• Makes the skid steer loader work like a trencher
• Breaks rock or frost with the maximum breakout force applied individually to each tooth
• Rips the sides of the trench
• 4 times faster than a hammer, at a fraction of the cost!
• Will not "get stuck" like competetor designs
  
• Standard ripping width 18", available for up to maximum ripping with of 40"
• 3 heavy duty 1" thick HARDOX 400 ripper tines standard, also available with 4 or 6 tines
• Uses commonly available replaceable twin tiger ripper teeth.
• Rip up to 24" deep
• Suitable for all size skid steer loaders above 45 hp
• Quick hitch interface for easy change over, weighs 370 lbs
• Save fuel and wear on your machine and buckets
• There is no other ripper like it on the market!       
  

    Skid Steer Loader Multi-Ripper Operating Procedure:  Starting at the forward end of the trench or patch to be ripped, position the first tine in a near vertical position.  Apply down pressure on the tool using the boom cylinder function.  While backing up, use a combination of rearward tractive effort and bucket cylinder rolling functions while providing boom cylinder down pressure.  The bucket cylinder action provides the greatest force while the loader backs up.  Since no two teeth are in alignment, when the Multi-Ripper is rolled, each tooth engages separately so that each tooth fractures the groove cut by the preceeding tooth.  Roll the Multi-Ripper completely as the loader backs up so that all teeth have engaged the material thus causing a very powerful, fast and effective ripping motion that is easy on the machine and operator. 
    The ripping action is so powerful that it is very important that the operator take safety precautions against projected objects, especially with brittle materials such as frost and certain rock.  For this type of material, hard hats, safety glasses and an excavator steel mesh windshield guard are all necessary requirements.  

All Multi-Ripper Products are now available with MTG Systems Teeth and Adapters.
