#03 Welding Homemade Ripper Tooth for BH77 Backhoe Kubota L2501

In this video I make a homemade ripper tooth for my backhoe on my Kubota L2501. I am not a professional welder by any means, I do this project at my own risk. If you choose to do something similar, do so at your own risk.

Thats awesome, i need to work on my ripper bar for the 3 point on my tractor. Nice meeting you at the good of the land today.

[@evadevries2952]

You and me both! We need a large single ripper shank with weights for the decomposed granite on our property.

[@osbornebay944]

Very good and fun work, super! I use loader blade to make a stump ripper 18" long for my Hitachi EX50.

[@buildingwithbrian]

One of these days I'll get some footage of me using this thing. I never have a large enough project to film for it.

[@andyav9165]

My mate Ben done welding like that. He’s a Grate dane Labrador cross, and every time I asked him what his welding was like he answered ruff.

[@buildingwithbrian]

It hasn't broken yet

[@andyav9165]

@@buildingwithbrian have you used it? Besides i said it was rough, I didn’t say it couldn’t stand up to ploughing sand. The crowning glory was painting it red, it is akin to putting lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. Ok a bit harsh, and I don’t know how long you’ve been doing it, keep going don’t let dicks like me put you off👍

[@buildingwithbrian]

I don't take random people on the internet seriously. I've used it a bit mostly chipping rock, not as much as I had hoped. I ended up selling the BH77 and it went with it because the BH77 was super slow.

[@andyav9165]

@@buildingwithbrian I’m not sure what machine that is, I take it’s about 1.5 ton or so. When I was doing a bit, well from 16 to my mid 40s my main job was welding for Demag, komatsu , Terex and so on. The smallest excavator was about 40ton up to 1000ton walking dragline ( Marion ) It’s always a horses for corses thing when it comes to welding as you said, it did the job. I hated those plasmas, can’t really see what your doing and if it’s not cutting well, not a lot you can do but change parts. I much prefer oxy acetylene.

I like it. Dirty and to the point. It's almost Death Metal. Lol. Sub'd

[@subixbarbarasson2544]

Building with Brian Tight. I'll be tuning in. Happy New Year man.

[@regsparkes6507]

That'll work !

[@Motodents]

Was fun to watch 👍🏻 And now where’s the video of it in use?

[@Motodents]

Brian Combs awesome congratulations 🎈🎊🍾

[@daveknowshow]

i need to build me one of these

[@johncollins8304]

I suppose the first stump you ripped out was that very useful anvil stump!!

[@buildingwithbrian]

Actually that stump stayed and rotted out. It was primarily used on cedar stumps till I sold the BH77 and gave it with it.

[@marknarduzzi9373]

Would like to see it at work

[@buildingwithbrian]

I got a few clips but never got to get any good video of it working. I eventually sold the BH77 and bought an excavator.

[@clee1052]

I need that ripper with 1 inch pins 5 1/2 spacing.. Can you do it?

[@grassabrutta]

How many yards (or miles !) of ripping did you manage before you were blunted out ?

[@buildingwithbrian]

I used it probably a dozen times for about 12 cubic yards total before I sold the backhoe and let it go with it. I bought an excavator so the BH77 wasn't being used.

[@DIYdiacsnFarmstead]

What, no plowing through the Ground? Im sad now :D Im going to build sth similar but with several Rippers next to each other. Hopefully i then can scoop the dirt up with my Loader.

[@buildingwithbrian]

I've got a project coming soon where I am going to use this. Basically the L2501 doesn't have the hydraulic power so I haven't used it much.

[@txfatmarine4583]

Did you say what thickness material?

[@buildingwithbrian]

I don't recall if I said it but this was 7/16ths plate

[@sheridenboord7853]

If you had put bosses on both sides it would last longer.

[@sheridenboord7853]

@@buildingwithbrian Ok, you welded bosses on one side so you could have bolt holes to hold the pins. Just weld a pair on the other side too. Will keep the pins aligned and make everything last longer. Nice work. Cheers from Australia.

[@sheridenboord7853]

@@buildingwithbrian The bosses are the bits of tube you welded only onto one side. Put em on both sides and the ripper, pins and hitch will last longer.

[@dougssemi-retiredlife9690]

You sure don't weld for looks do you

[@buildingwithbrian]

Nope. Not a pro by a mile but it hasn't broken yet.
