DIY Making a Root Ripper for the Front Loader of a Kubota Compact Tractor for Tree Stump Removal

This video shows the design and manufacturing of the Rhino Root Ripper for tree stump removal using the front loader of a compact tractor.

The ripper is made from 15 mm thick steel plates using a CUT60 plasma cutter and is welded to a skid steer interface plate for quick connection with a front loader of the Kubota compact tractor. Extra stiffener elements are added to both the ripper and interface plate to increase the strength of the construction.

In another video I demonstrate the usage of this implement by removing various sizes of tree stumps (see:    • Tree stump removal with a Kubota B226...  )
