Introducing The New Excavator Wolverine Stump Ripper, New Excavator Hi-Production Multi-Ripper and New Multi-DigNRip V-Raptor Bucket From Leading Edge Attachments, Inc. ®

The Wolverine Stump Ripper

Leading Edge Attachments, Inc.’s ® new Wolverine Stump RipperTM is the most productive and effective stump ripper and remover that is available for excavator or backhoe when used with a thumb.

This new tool replaces the slow process of stump grinding and allows for complete removal without leaving grindings or stump remains that can cause sinkholes later.

Stump grinders are expensive, slow, and tap into the hydraulics of a machine which can introduce contaminants in the excavator’s complex hydraulic system. The Wolverine Stump Ripper pins or quick couples to an excavator or backhoe just like a bucket would and allows the stump roots to be cut and ripped. The curved vertical blades have no cross members to impede the action thus allowing the maximum cutting force to be achieved. When used with a thumb, the stump can be easily grabbed and pulled out, thus allowing the stump to be removed completely, only leaving the ends of the roots. The stump can then be shaken and then loaded into a truck, without leaving a lot of dirt or insect-infested grindings at the site.

The Wolverine Stump Ripper is manufactured in the USA using high strength Swedish Hardox 400 alloy steel for abusive, abrasive and cold weather conditions, and is available for any backhoe, mini-excavator or excavator that weighs over 6,000 pounds. The list price for a 20-ton excavator model (like a Cat 320) is currently $8,990. Visit www.wolverineripper.com.

Hi-Production Multi-Ripper

Leading Edge Attachments, Inc.’s ® award-winning excavator Multi-Ripper® is the most powerful and productive ripper in the world, however, the new Hi-Production Multi-Ripper takes the design one step further. Operators have testified that this unique patented ripper design can replace a hydraulic hammer for breaking through rock, frozen ground, and coral up to 4 times faster than a hydraulic hammer; at a fraction of the cost; easier on the machine; with less maintenance; allowing switching over to a bucket easier; and using no hydraulic lines, while ripping the sides and bottom of the trench flat, with no depth limitation. The new HP version has five shanks instead of three. These extra two shanks allow the operator to double the rotation of the tool to ultimately increase ripping productivity.

The MDNRVRB is manufactured in the USA using high strength Swedish Hardox 400 alloy steel for abusive, abrasive and cold weather conditions, and is available for any backhoe, mini-excavator or excavator that weighs over 6,000 pounds.
