Son-in-law clearing land to open up a new gravel pit using his HD5G with the ripper I installed for him.

This ripper was originally for a Case 1050 machine, we estimate it to weigh ~2000 lbs so it should provide adequate counterweight for the loader. Son-in-law purchased the proper ripper mount for the HD5G from General Gear in Boise, Idaho, he also got the canopy from them.

I fabricated the ripper drawbar assembly to tie the ripper mounting plate to the drawbar pull point under the machine, and then fabricated the cylinder mount on the ripper (the cylinder came with the HD5G mounting plate). I made a 1/2 scale cardboard cutout to test the geometry of the linkage to ensure adequate lift and drop dimensions.

I modified the canopy to fit this machine and built the mounts for it; this definitely paid off because SIL tested it when a tree he was pushing came backward and would have conked him on the noggin without the canopy there for protection.

Pushing brush is a dangerous task. You have to watch for stuff "loading up" getting ready to come flying your way. Would be even better if you could have structure going fwd from cab and down to nose.

Might want to think about putting expanded metal all around that operator area except for the very front like said you or someone else pushing brush it’s very dangerous
I’m running a D7 with a KG blade and can’t say how many times that metal around the operator area has saved me from injury
After I cut the area we’re clearing my wife and I will put the root rake on to pile the brush and trees and if there’s still leaves on what your piling it’s very hard to see if something is being stressed that might spring back and injure someone

Indeed it is Big smile
That is one bodacious brush blade, the previous owner built it and then used it to clear his homesite, outbuilding sites, etc. and then it mostly sat for 30+ years.

We will be putting the loader bucket on soon and hope to haul some gravel before the snow flies.
