Takeuchi tb216 bucket manufacturers and sizing

Since buying my digger ive found myself digging out far more stumps than i thought i would so thought ripper would be much better than digging all around the stumps and making more mess

Stumps- big ones at least- are rough on a machine so anything to alleviate the abuse is a good idea.

I managed to get one out that was almost as big as the digger body and thought i was pushing my luck tbh but it did impress me what the little machine could do

I really should order a ripper but as my tilty is fixed I'm a bit wary of using 1 on it

Why would you be wary? Wouldn't the stress and forces be less than ragging a bucket in hard ground/stumps etc?

Exactly

So what ripper am I getting

A ripper is a good investment. If you think of it a different way, you are using a ripper differently with tilty, you ripping where you need to, and around thing rather than through them

I don’t see why you want removable pins if you are using a pin grabber hitch?

I guess versatility, it could be used without a coupler? Pin grabbers are not very common over here, most machines this size have a tag/ wain roy or the bucket pins on direct. If for some reason I would want to sell any of these buckets down the road, welded pins would be pretty hard to sell but would have a chance with loose pins.

I'm not sure what to say about the s30 option, I thought I was getting close to figuring out what to buy :x

Can the s30 pick up buckets backwards? That's a cool trick of the wedgelock pin grabber.

Think most would agree a ripper is definitely worth carting around.

We should have a top attachments vote/thread

Keen Attachments did me mine and it seems decent with quick delivery, but @CPS and most others could do the saw teeth I would of thought.

Yes it can. Pretty sure the S stands for Symetrical.

Is it worth looking at cable style buckets (same as Scandinavian style)? What are the pros and cons of them vs standard buckets? Looks like it would clean out nice for a narrow bucket but maybe not as strong?
