Help Identifying Heavy Equip Bucket or Ripper Tooth

[berserkerplanet]

Any of you farm or B&I Heavy Equipment types have any ideas on this puppy?

Everything I can find is a chisel profile (more earth cutting/excavator type). This one sort of rings a bell, but I can't put my finger on it. Excavator? Bulldozer ripper? Called a tooth?

Any help appreciated.

Look at gripper claws for lifting brush or timber.

Couldn't find any that use a pivoting blunt tooth - most II saw didn't use replaceable teeth and/or had very pointy/stabby wood penetrating tips/teeth.

I believe you are right. The ones I initially found all had more tapered chisel profiles, but they were smaller units (possible insufficient hp and weight to drive the blunter teeth). I found some Youtube videos of mining excavators with 10-30 m³ buckets that have that style of tooth (but much bigger I think and welded on it appeared).

It's a start. (Even though I have only the one, and it probably isn't worth anything, now I want to know what it goes on 🙂
