[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 9263, member: 897"] How much bigger was the machine that had no problem? I had a couple more thoughts. Could you replace the crowd cylinder with a larger diameter cylinder? It would increase force but slow down speed. Do you think your machine would handle the additional stress, and would the stabilizers be able to keep you stationary? If you're up to another fab project you might want to scale one of these down: [URL='http://www.leadingedgeattachments.com/multiripperbucket.htm'][COLOR=#ff0000]Shark Ripper Bucket[/COLOR][/URL] I remembered seeing an article on these in one of the trade publications I get. Leading Edge Attachments manufactures a number of ripping solutions for machines in the 6000 to 11,000 lb class. Their catalog is downloadable from the web site. The other thing that might help is to reinforce the back of one of your buckets and attach a ripper shank. If positioned properly it would be out of the cut in normal digging and when the bucket is fully curled would point down so you could rip it up and then go right back to digging without having to change from ripper to bucket.
