The owner walks through pulling the bucket pins, swapping on the ripper tool, and closing thoughts on fit and grease maintenance, but stops short of actually digging with it. Best for BX23S owners curious about this specific attachment's install process rather than its ripping performance.
Posted by an owner-operator documenting his own property work and trying the BXpanded ripper attachment for the first time, not a dealer or the manufacturer.
Back off the bolt on each pin, then curl the bucket in reverse and pull the pins out to take the weight off and slide them free.
No, it bolts right onto the BX23S backhoe without any additional modification, and the pins lined up and fit perfectly.
The owner says if he knew what he was doing, it would take not even five minutes, calling that pretty good.
