This ripper was originally for a Case 1050 machine, we estimate it to weigh ~2000 lbs so it should provide adequate counterweight for the loader. Son-in-law purchased the proper ripper mount for the HD5G from General Gear in Boise, Idaho, he also got the canopy from them. I fabricated the ripper drawbar assembly to tie the ripper mounting plate to the drawbar pull point under the machine, and then fabricated the cylinder mount on the ripper (the cylinder came with the HD5G mounting plate). I made a 1/2 scale cardboard cutout to test the geometry of the linkage to ensure adequate lift and drop dimensions. I modified the canopy to fit this machine and built the mounts for it; this definitely paid off because SIL tested it when a tree he was pushing came backward and would have conked him on the noggin without the canopy there for protection.

Pushing brush is a dangerous task. You have to watch for stuff "loading up" getting ready to come flying your way. Would be even better if you could have structure going fwd from cab and down to nose.
