An essential G.E.T. (Ground Engaging Tool) attachment – this is a reinforced COBRA series ripper by HIMACORE. It is designed for the heaviest-duty work on JCB 3CX, 4CX, and compatible mini excavators (e.g., 8085). Its purpose is to precisely break up and loosen hard surfaces, such as frozen or compacted earth, concrete, asphalt, or fracturable rock. The COBRA design ensures maximum penetration. A key feature is the replaceable tooth tip (mounted on an adapter), which radically extends the attachment's service life and reduces running costs.

The list above is for reference. The 45/175/340 hitch dimensions match the standard JCB 3CX/4CX fitment (pin-on or quickhitch).
Ripper operation generates extreme forces and vibration. Never use the ripper for side-loading (twisting), as this can cause the tooth adapter or the ripper shank to fracture. Before installation, ensure the machine is on stable ground and the attachment is resting on the ground.
A ripper is an attachment designed to penetrate and break up hard, difficult-to-dig materials (frozen ground, asphalt, compacted soil) that cannot be efficiently removed by a standard bucket. It is essential for preparatory work.

A ripper concentrates all of the machine's breakout force onto a single, reinforced point to penetrate hard ground. A bucket distributes that force along a wide cutting edge and is designed to scoop and carry material.
2. Will this ripper fit my JCB quickhitch?Yes. The hitch dimensions (45mm pins, 175mm arm width, 340mm pin centers) are the standard size for JCB 3CX and 4CX backhoe attachments. It will fit both traditional pin-on mounting and the JCB quickhitch.
3. Can I replace just the tip (tooth)?Yes. That is the main advantage of this model. The ripper has a welded-on adapter, which accepts a standard, replaceable tooth tip (e.g., J300 or J350 system, depending on the adapter) held on by a pin and retainer.
