A mini excavator is great for digging loose dirt. However, when you meet hard ground, rocks, or thick tree roots, a standard bucket can struggle and even break. This is why you need a strong ripper attachment for mini excavator. This tool concentrates all the hydraulic power of your machine into one sharp point. It allows you to break open tough surfaces before you start digging with a bucket.
Using a YG single-tooth tool protects your excavator arm from heavy shaking and saves fuel. YG factory makes high-strength attachments that turn your small digger into a powerful ground breaker.

We use high-grade Q355B carbon steel for the main body frame. The cutting edge and shank are reinforced with NM400 wear-resistant steel plates to prevent bending under high pressure.
Match The Right Digger Ripper To Your Machine Weight
Choosing the right size tool is very important for your project safety and machine life. A tool that is too big can damage your excavator arm, while a tool that is too small will break easily.
YG digger ripper models are designed based on your machine’s operating weight:
YG02 Model (Fits 4 – 6 Ton Excavators): Built with a 50mm main plate thickness and a compact 390mm height. It is perfect for backyard landscaping, trenching, and removing small tree roots for light utility projects.
YG04 & YG06 Models (Fits 5 – 16 Ton Excavators): Designed for medium-sized projects. The YG04 (for 5-9 tons) features a 950mm height, while the YG06 (for 9-16 tons) ups the frame to 1180mm with a reinforced 60mm plate. They are great for utility contractors breaking old asphalt, light concrete pavements, and hard clay.
YG08 & YG10 Models (Fits 16 – 30 Ton Excavators): Engineered for heavy construction sites. These models feature heavy-duty 80mm main plates and heights up to 1380mm, built for quarry prep and working on deeply frozen winter ground.
YG14 & YG17 Models (Fits 30 – 49 Ton Heavy Excavators): Tough industrial rippers equipped with 90mm main plates and high-impact 4T5502/4T5502-2 teeth, handling massive demolition and hard rock stratification with ease.
YG20 & YG24 Models (Fits 50 – 90 Ton Mining Excavators): Our largest premium models with customized shaft diameters and widths, a massive 100mm main plate, and robust D11 teeth to endure severe quarrying and mining block clearing.
Our attachments are designed for fast installation so you do not waste time on the job site. You can attach the unit directly to your machine boom using standard steel pins. It also works perfectly with most mechanical and hydraulic quick coupler brands. This means one operator can change from a bucket to the ripping tool in less than two minutes.
To keep your tool working well for many years, follow these basic steps:
Check the pin connections every morning before starting work.
Replace the wear tooth before the main steel shank begins to rub against the rocks.
Apply heavy grease to the connection pins weekly to prevent rust and friction wear.
Storage the attachment on a flat, dry wood pallet when you do not use it for a long time.
