Description

The Blue Diamond Skid Steer Ripper is built for breaking up tough ground, compacted soil, gravel, driveways, seed beds, gardens, and rough work areas before grading or finishing. Designed for skid steer use, this attachment gives operators a simple and effective way to loosen hard-packed material before preparing the surface for landscaping, road work, property maintenance, or site cleanup.

Available in 60-inch, 72-inch, 84-inch, and 96-inch widths, this skid steer ripper can be matched to different machine sizes and jobsite needs. Adjustable shank depth allows the operator to cut from 3.5 inches to 9.5 inches deep, making it useful for shallow surface prep or deeper ground breaking.

The shanks are reversible for use in forward or reverse operation, and additional shanks are available. An optional finish rake can also be added behind the shanks to help pull loosened dirt smooth as you work, making this a practical attachment for operators who want to rip and prep ground in fewer passes.

Fitment Notes

This ripper is designed for skid steer use. Model selection depends on your machine size, desired working width, soil conditions, and whether you want to add the optional finish rake.

Choose the correct width based on your machine and application:

  • 60-inch model: Good for smaller skid steers, tighter areas, and lighter prep work
  • 72-inch model: Strong all-around size for general property and site prep
  • 84-inch model: Better for wider coverage and larger work areas
  • 96-inch model: Best for larger machines and high-production ground prep

The optional finish rake is sold separately and is available in matching widths. Always confirm your skid steer’s operating capacity, attachment mount, ground conditions, and intended use before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

Explore our wide selection of high-quality skid steer attachments designed for performance and durability. We partner with trusted manufacturers to provide reliable attachments for a variety of applications. Our knowledgeable team is here to help you find the right equipment for your machine and job requirements.

Most modern full-size skid steer attachments are built with a universal quick attach system, allowing them to connect with nearly any brand of skid steer loader on the market. This standard design makes it easy to switch between attachments from different manufacturers.

If your machine does not have a universal quick attach system, or if you are purchasing attachments for a tractor or another type of equipment, we can help. We offer quick attach adapters that allow your machine to safely connect to a wide range of attachments.

Most modern skid steer loaders are equipped with auxiliary hydraulics that power attachments requiring hydraulic flow. These hydraulic lines typically connect to the machine through couplers located near the loader arms.

The type and number of hydraulic couplers can vary depending on the machine. Attachments that require low hydraulic flow, such as standard brush cutters, typically use two half-inch couplers. Machines with high-flow capability may include additional couplers and a case drain line for more demanding attachments.

When purchasing a hydraulic attachment, it is important to ensure that the attachment’s hydraulic requirements match your skid steer’s operating range. For example, grapples and backhoe attachments usually require low flow, while larger brush cutters and forestry attachments often require high-flow hydraulics.

Some skid steer attachments use electrically actuated controls combined with hydraulic components. For example, certain grading blades use electrical switches in the cab to activate hydraulic valves that control features such as folding wings.

If an attachment requires electrical controls, it is easiest when your skid steer is equipped with an external electrical harness. Since electrical harness systems can vary by manufacturer, we recommend contacting our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.

If your skid steer does not have an external electrical harness, we can often provide a controller that connects to your machine’s 12-volt power source or battery. This allows you to operate attachments that require electrical controls safely and efficiently.

Safety should always be a top priority when operating skid steer loader attachments. At Heavy Equip Tech, we often hear from customers who accidentally damage the glass door on their skid loader when using attachments such as forestry mulchers, brush cutters, or post drivers. This usually happens when the potential impact of debris on the machine’s cab is not fully considered before purchasing the attachment.

When shopping for skid steer attachments, it is important to research the equipment thoroughly or consult with a customer support specialist to ensure proper compatibility and safe operation. Certain attachments that can throw rocks, wood debris, or other materials require additional safety precautions.
