Back Hoe Ripper John Deere JD 260, 260B, 270A, 270B, 370B Backhoe

When you have a small backhoe you know it's only capable of so much. I bought this to dig out a few stumps. With just the bucket you are moving a lot of dirt and making a big hole, but with this, no big hole. You can stay close to the stump, and when you hit the big roots that the tractor doesn't have enough umph to rip through, that's where the design of this comes in. With its saw like teeth and the sharp point on the end you can cut your way through. And when paired with the thumb this thing is perfect.

I bought this Talon Ripper to mount on my new 1025R TLB to take out stumps in an area of ash trees I am taking down. I read positive reviews on this site and on different forums and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! It cuts through roots with ease and unlike a bucket, it creates very little collateral damage. It also “saws” through thicker roots that are more challenging. I couldn’t imagine doing the job without this attachment!

I bought this attachment to replace the bucket on a JD260 Backhoe. The tooth allows the backhoe to cut roots and remove stumps far better than the bucket. Since the hoe can only apply so much force, its only logical that the force applied to just the tooth, rather than a 12" bucket face will be far greater for prying and cutting stumps roots, and vegetation. It works well, its rugged, and I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I really can rave enough about this ripper, I was built heavier than I thought it would be..cuts through roots like butter

This is a great addition to my little 1025R TLB! I have used it a bunch on roots and stumps and it works great for that purpose. I recently gave it a torture test for some demo work when my sledge hammer just wasn’t getting the job done. The ripper held up impressively well doing a task far beyond what it was designed to do. It made quick work out of demolishing a brick and masonry stair!

This is the first review I've ever written, but I really felt the need to sit down and do it. If you're like me you research for DAYS and read every review, and watch every video on an attachment before you buy one. I had about 40 trees taken down, and I started pulling stumps with my Deere 1025r backhoe. I finally got sick of the giant holes and amount of time it was taking so i pulled the trigger on this claw. It does EVERYTHING it should. It rips through roots until I can move the stump about an inch. Then I hook the stump up to a larger tree with a steel cable and 4 pulleys. My litte 25 HP Deers pulling out 24" stumps that are about 6' in diameter once pulled. For smaller (under 8" diameter) stumps, this ripper just pops them out of the ground in 2 minutes or less. Can't tell you how much I love having this thing around.

I have ripped >50 stumps so far 4" to 8" fresh cut stumps and two 15-Year old 20" stumps. I am seeing some wear and bending :[. See attached For the overall utility and price this Ripper is pretty Freakin' awesome :)

Just a quick review I ordered a ripper on 2/24/21 and was very pleased to receive it on 2/28/21. Wow that was fast !!! it is built like a tank and I'm sure it will be a great performer this spring once all the snow melts .

Just installed the ripper on my 260B, this thing is awesome!! I was ripping tree roots out all weekend with no issues.

Customer service said this unit will fit on my Kioti KB2475L backhoe with no modifications, though it leaves a small gap alongside the pivot pins that, if I desired, I could fill with spacers. I installed yesterday without any spacers and used the ripper with no issues. Absolutely much better than results I had with the 12" bucket - takes less time, and results in less mess. I would recommend to anyone who is plagued with pesky stumps on their property. You won't find a more practical and cost-effective solution.

I have 11 acres and am clearing land for a driveway and house. What previous took 10 hours of labor digging with tractor, cutting roots with axe, pick, etc. was reduced to 90 minutes…. Incredible item!

I bought this for my 2025R to help with my mulberry infestation. It has been wonderful so far! I just tore up a live stump with 3 trunks about totaling about 3 feet across. Takes a few hours but I can do the work sitting down! Some larger roots it is helpful to chip away at the top of the root untill it is weak enough to break. Also you can pull up and down with the unit like a saw blade.

This ripper definitely rates 5 stars for design, materials, build quality and price! I have been digging a lot of Cherry, Maple and Alder stumps with a 12” bucket on my 370B backhoe and decided to give this ripper a go. The lead time was twice as long as stated but nearly everything in the world is on back order so I think this product is well worth waiting for! There is a learning curve for getting the best out of this tool, just like anything else but once you learn even the big hardwood stumps are no problem. I do use a 3 ton chain come a long for breaking the roots under the bigger stumps.

Let me start off by saying I love this ripper. This thing is a beast. It is very high quality, super tough and the design is flawless. I've pulled stumps, rocks, buried wood, concrete and rebar. This is a must have for anyone with a sub-compact backhoe. It saves time and the lower back. I recently used it to pull 12 + stumps from behind and underneath a pasture fence. The design of this ripper let me go underneath the fence boards and pull stumps without any damage. BUY ONE NOW, DONT HESITATE.
