Excavator Ripper - Severe-Duty - Amulet

📘 Overview

The Amulet excavator ripper is a severe-duty single-shank ripper built for hard pack, shale, permafrost and rocky soil — the conditions where standard single-point rippers fail. Eleven models, RP1 through RP8, cover base machines from 2,000 lb to 100,000+ lb, so the choice you make is your machine’s weight class: an RP1 at 75 lb for a 3-ton mini through an RP8 at 2,000 lb for a 50-ton excavator. Every ripper ships “ready to work” with a replaceable chisel tooth already fitted. Reinforced single tine, fully gusseted, T-1 and AR400 construction, 2-year warranty, 100% USA made.

Pin set sold separately. Specify your excavator make, model and year at checkout so the correct pin dimensions ship with your ripper.

🔧 Amulet Excavator Ripper Key Features

• Severe-duty design — Amulet built this ripper specifically for the applications where lighter single-point rippers bend, crack or lose teeth.
• Reinforced single tine concentrates the machine’s full breakout force onto one point instead of spreading it across a bucket edge — the reason a ripper shank for excavator work penetrates ground a bucket simply rides over.
• Replaceable chisel tooth, fitted before it ships. The tooth is the wear part; when it dulls you change the tooth, not the ripper.
• Standard tooth adapters — replacement teeth are a stocked wear item on a common pattern, not a proprietary part you can only buy from one source.
• Reinforced connection and full gusseting at the mount, where a ripper takes the highest stress under prying loads.
• T-1 and AR400 alloy steel throughout — the same plate Amulet uses on its severe-duty thumbs.
• Eleven machine-class models, RP1 through RP8, each sized to a specific weight class rather than sold as one-size-fits-most.
• No hydraulics required. The ripper is a pin-on bucket replacement with no cylinders, no hoses and nothing to service.
• 2-year warranty, 100% made in the USA at Amulet’s plant in Rathdrum, Idaho.

⭐ Why Operators Choose the Amulet Ripper

• It works where the bucket stops. Frozen ground, shale, hardpan and rock beat a bucket because the force is spread over the whole cutting edge. A single shank puts all of it on one tooth.
• Cheaper than a hammer, and no hydraulics to plumb. A hydraulic breaker needs a circuit, hoses and service. The ripper pins on in minutes and needs nothing from the machine but breakout force.
• The wear part is the cheap part. The chisel tooth is designed to be consumed and swapped on standard adapters, so a season of hard ripping costs teeth, not a new attachment.
• Sized to your machine, not to a range. An RP1 weighs 75 lb; an RP8 weighs 2,000 lb. Amulet builds eleven sizes so the ripper matches the breakout force actually available.
• Proven at the extremes. Amulet rates the ripper for permafrost and shale — conditions most attachments are never tested against.

📊 Excavator Ripper Model Range by Machine Weight Class

Select your machine’s weight class from the options above and the matching model is supplied. All eleven classes are stocked, so there is a ripper attachment for excavator and backhoe machines from 1-3 Ton minis through 40-50 Ton excavators — including the 15-20 Ton RP4.

Ripper weight matters twice: it tells you what the attachment takes off your machine’s lift capacity, and it determines the freight cost quoted at checkout.

🚜 Excavator Ripper Machine Compatibility

The Amulet ripper is a pin-on bucket replacement. It mounts on your machine’s existing bucket pins, so fitment is determined by machine weight class and by your bucket pin and boss dimensions — not by a quick-attach standard, and with no hydraulic connection. Find your machine below to identify its weight class, then select that class from the options above. Pin set is sold separately.

Fits machines from Bobcat, Bradco, Case, Caterpillar, Daewoo/Doosan/Develon, Ford, Gehl, Hitachi, Hyundai, IHI, Ingersoll-Rand, JCB, John Deere, Kobelco, Komatsu, Kubota, Link-Belt, Liu Gong, Mustang, New Holland, Samsung, Sany, Takeuchi, Terex, Thomas, Volvo, Wacker Neuson, Woods, XCMG, Yanmar — 30 manufacturers in total.

🧱 What the Amulet Ripper Is Used For

• Frozen ground and permafrost — breaking winter ground open so a bucket can dig it, on utility and pipeline work that cannot wait for a thaw.
• Shale and hardpan — fracturing layered rock and cemented soil ahead of excavation instead of hammering it.
• Rocky soil and trenching — running a rip line before digging so the bucket fills instead of skating.
• Stump and root work — a single shank hooks and lifts roots a bucket cannot get under, which is what operators are after when they search for an excavator stump ripper or an excavator root ripper.
• Asphalt and thin slab breakout — tearing up surfacing without bringing a breaker to site.
• Mini excavator work in tight ground — a 75 lb mini excavator ripper gives a 3-ton machine penetration it cannot get with a bucket alone.

❓ Amulet Ripper — Common Questions

🔗 What the Ripper Works With

• Rip, then dress. The Amulet T3 Tilt Bucket finishes the grade the ripper opened up, without changing machines.
• The Amulet HoeMate Multi-Tine Rake clears the broken material and roots the ripper lifts — the usual second pass on clearing work.
• The ripper is a pin-on bucket replacement, so if you are swapping between ripper and bucket often, the Amulet Mini-Hitch Quick Coupler turns a two-pin job into a one-pin job.
