Unique parallelogram linkage design (patent pending) allows shanks/teeth to rotate inward when raised to maximize machine departure angle.
Utilizes the same robust shank and tooth design proven tough on Cat® motor graders. Multi-shank design allows operator to select the number of shanks necessary for each application. Shanks and teeth are removeable and replaceable.
The ripper/Scarifier requires optional machine rear auxiliary hydraulics, available from factory or as a dealer installed kit. Control is Integrated with the advanced joystick controls (Aux 9 / Aux 10).
Raise/lower speed may be adjusted via flow control valves based on operator preference.
In the lowered position, the engine bay door is unobstructed for easy access and daily service tasks.
Scarifier shanks can be reoriented in ripper frame for increased machine departure angle while trailer loading machine. Two lock-out pins retain the ripper linkage in the fully raised position to prevent hydraulic cylinder drift during transport.
Tool mounted and sealed from the elements, this holder includes all the operation manuals and maintenance guides required for proper operation of the tool.
Special key function would allow the ripper / scarifier to be lowered to a position that allows easy engine bay access if the engine and/or battery are dead.
