Digging and ditching

Multi-ripper rake

On the left, the teeth open up the ground, the fine soil passes through, stones and roots come along. On the right, a single ripper tooth loosens the ground but leaves everything in place. Computer-generated image.

Several ripper teeth mounted as a rake.
It opens the ground and it gathers:
decompaction and clearing in the same movement.

Other names for this tool: tined rake, ripper rake, stone windrowing rake, rake bucket.

01 Use

What it is for

On the left, the teeth open up the ground, the fine soil passes through, stones and roots come along. On the right, a single ripper tooth loosens the ground but leaves everything in place. Computer-generated image.

Left: the teeth open up the ground, the fine soil passes through, stones and roots come along.
Right: a single ripper tooth loosens the ground but leaves everything in place.
What sets it apart:
the teeth open, the spacing lets the fine soil run through, and what stays behind is moved.
Computer-generated image.

A ripper tooth on its own loosens, but leaves everything in place.
A rake on its own gathers, but does not go after what is still held.
The multi-ripper does both:
the teeth open, the spacing lets the fine soil run through, and what stays between the teeth is moved.

It is used for clearing a plot, for destoning, for taking up roots after felling, and for shallow loosening before bringing land back into cultivation or before seeding.

It does not replace a ripping tooth. Several spread-out teeth work less deeply than a single tooth that concentrates the whole force of the machine on one point.
If the aim is to break a hard crust, it is the single-tooth tool that is needed. See the ripping teeth.

02 Key technical data

On which machine?

A multi-ripper rake fits excavators from 0,5 to 18 t, on all couplers via a mounting plate, including Morin.
On a micro-excavator up to 2 t, it weighs from 54 to 78 kg.
On an excavator from 5 to 10 t: from 180 to 360 kg.
For other classes, the weight: we calculate it with you for your machine.

What the tool does

It is used for digging and ditching.
Depending on the model, it weighs from 54 to 360 kg.

What is needed on the hydraulic side

It is a passive tool: it needs no hydraulic connection.

03 Your study

Have your machine checked.

Tell us the area to be cleared and what has to come out of it.
The size of what must stay in the rake gives the spacing of the teeth.

What we need to answer you
  • Your machine Its make and its tonnage.
  • The auxiliary circuit Its flow in l/min, its pressure in bar, single- or double-acting.
  • The coupler in place Its system and its class.
  • The work The use, and the material.

Without these details, the study still begins: we will ask you for them.

Multi-ripper rake pulled through a plot, long spaced teeth gathering stones and roots, fine soil passing between the teeth
The soil passes between the teeth, the stones stay in front. It is a sorting tool as much as a loosening tool — and what it gathers then has to be taken away.

04 Choice

What determines the choice

  • 01 — The spacing of the teeth It decides what passes through and what stays:
    the whole setting of the tool lies there.
  • 02 — The working depth aimed at Shallow by nature:
    beyond that, you change tools.
  • 03 — The width It makes the output, and it eats up the load chart at the end of the arm.
  • 04 — The robustness of the teeth They take side impacts that bucket teeth never see.
05 Check

What is checked before ordering

  • What you want to get out of the ground Stones, roots, stumps, brash:
    their size governs the spacing.
  • The depth that is really useful It is almost always shallower than you imagine.
  • The load chart at the working reach A wide tool works far from the machine.
  • The interface Coupler designation or pin dimensions.
