You've seen the ripper shank on the back of large track machines before. They have them because the concentrated force on the single shank can tear through buried materials quickly. Now you can have that advantage on your CADDigger.

Even 5400 pounds of ripping power can be challenged when that force is distributed across a 18” bucket width. Roots, stumps and other buried obstacles are easily removed when all of the force is concentrated at one point.

That is the reason MetKit has developed The Ripper. Buried objects are easily removed when the ripper is installed in place of the bucket. Use The Ripper for stump removal, root removal, abandoned water lines, large rocks, baked clay soil.

The over 22” long, 3/4” thick, 36,000 psi yield A36 steel shank acts like a “Super Wrecking Bar”. Get the Ripper under an object and hydraulically “pry” the shank to create many times the ripping power of the bucket alone. The Ripper gives you the power to rip through or move many things the bucket can not.

Four models of the Ripper have been developed. Select yours based on the backhoe you have.

  • 608, 610, 628 Use the Model 600R

  • 708, 710, 728 Use the Model 700R

  • 808, 810, 821, 831, 841 use the Model 800R or 800TH*

* the 800TH is the model shown to the right specifically developed for use with the CADThumb.

NOTE: The Model 600R works with or without the Thumb.

Lets Split Wood!
Spending $1000 or more on a splitter doesn’t save you money on your heating bill. MetKit customers asked for a cost effective woodsplitter kit so we came up with the 800S. Turn your CADDigger Model 821 (or other CADDigger) into a powerful woodsplitter.

The 800S was developed as the lowest cost way MetKit could offer a woodsplitter kit. Simply weld the frame together, put the boom cylinder in from your 800 Series CADDigger, and you have a 7 ton, 20 inch woodsplitter! Split 10 to 12 inch diameter, 20 inch long wood with the 12 second cycle time.

The quality parts in the 800S splitter makes assembly a snap. You can build the 800S in the morning and split wood in the afternoon.
