📘 Overview
The Blue Diamond Skid Steer Ripper Attachment is a skid steer ripper attachment that tears through hardpan, compacted soil, frost, roots, and rocky ground that a bucket can't touch. It mounts to a universal skid steer quick-attach interface and drives shanks into the ground to fracture and loosen it ahead of grading, trenching, or planting.
This listing covers widths from 60″ to 96″, with adjustable shank depth cutting 3.5″ to 9.5″ deep. Additional shanks are available to increase fracturing, and an optional finish rake lets you break and level in fewer passes.
As a blue diamond skid steer ripper, it's built for site prep and land clearing. A skid steer ripper 60 72 84 96 inch range fits machines from compact to large; operators breaking cement-hard ground use it as a hardpan ripper skid steer. As a compacted soil ripper attachment, it loosens ground for drainage, planting, and grading — the reversible shanks work in forward or reverse for maximum versatility.
Adjustable shank depth, reversible shanks, and the optional finish rake make it a flexible tool for breaking and preparing tough ground.

🔑 Why Choose the Blue Diamond Skid Steer Ripper
- Breaks ground a bucket can't — the shanks fracture hardpan, frost, and compacted soil, loosening ground that would stop a bucket cold.
- Adjustable depth from 3.5″ to 9.5″ — set the shank depth for shallow scarifying or deep ripping, matching the tool to the job and your machine's power.
- Reversible shanks — the shanks work in forward or reverse, so you can rip in either direction and flip them for extended wear life.
- Add shanks for more fracturing — additional shanks increase the number of rip lines per pass for faster ground breaking.
- Optional finish rake — break and level in fewer passes by adding the finish rake for a cleaner result.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a ripper do that a bucket can't?
A ripper drives narrow shanks into the ground to fracture hardpan, frost, compacted soil, and rocky ground. A bucket rides over that material; the ripper breaks it up first, so you can then grade, trench, or plant. It's the tool for ground too hard to dig directly.
Q: How deep does it cut?
Shank depth is adjustable from 3.5″ to 9.5″. Set it shallow for scarifying and surface prep, or deep for breaking hardpan and heavy compaction. Deeper ripping demands more from the machine, so match depth to your loader's power.
Q: What does "reversible shanks" mean?
The shanks can be turned around to work in forward or reverse, and flipping them extends wear life by using both edges. This gives flexibility in how you approach the ground and stretches the life of the shanks.
Q: Can I add more shanks?
Yes — additional shanks are available to increase the number of rip lines per pass, breaking more ground per pass for faster site prep on large jobs.
Q: How is shipping calculated?
Shipping is calculated at checkout — add the item to your cart, enter your delivery address, and the shipping charge is displayed before you complete your order. Lift gate service is available for residential deliveries and can be selected at checkout.
Q: How do I order?
Add the item to your cart directly on eskidsteer.com and complete checkout online. Have your machine make, model, and serial number ready to confirm fitment before ordering. If you have a fitment question before purchasing, call us at (866) 757-8337.
Q: When should I use a ripper?
A ripper is used to break up hard, compacted ground — frost, clay, caliche, and rocky soil — that a bucket alone can't dig. Driving the shank through the surface fractures the material so you can then dig, grade, or trench it. It's a first step on hardpan sites before other earthmoving.
