Key Features
Milwaukee® MX314 Compatibility Designed for the Milwaukee® MX Fuel MX314 14-inch power cutter, converting compatible equipment into a dedicated trenching solution without requiring a separate conventional trencher.
Maximum 16-Inch Digging Depth The 16-inch digging bar supports irrigation, underground wiring, landscape lighting, and other installations that require narrow trenches at depths of up to 16 inches.
Battery-Powered Operation Uses a compatible Milwaukee® battery-powered power cutter, offering an alternative to gas-powered trenching equipment for suitable professional applications.
Zero-Emission Operation at Point of Use The electric power source produces no engine exhaust at the point of use, making the attachment useful for certain enclosed or confined work areas with limited airflow. Follow all equipment safety requirements.
Cuts Roots up to 3 Inches Self-sharpening digging teeth are designed to cut tree roots up to 3 inches in diameter below grade, helping contractors handle challenging landscaping and root-barrier projects.
Handles Rocks up to 4 Inches Designed to remove rocks up to 4 inches in most soil conditions, helping maintain progress when working through common underground obstacles.
Faster Than Manual Digging Mechanized trenching helps reduce the time and physical effort associated with hand-digging, improving workflow efficiency on repetitive installation jobs.
Reduced Manual Labor Reduces dependence on manual excavation for suitable trenching tasks, helping operators manage physical workload and allocate labor more efficiently.
Irrigation Line Installation Creates trenches for underground irrigation piping, making the GeoRipper® T/A MX400 a practical attachment for irrigation contractors and landscape maintenance professionals.
Landscape Lighting Applications Supports trenching for underground landscape-lighting cables and related installations, helping outdoor contractors prepare routes with a compact digging attachment.
Root Barrier Installation Helps prepare trenches for root barriers and other landscaping projects that require controlled excavation around trees, planting areas, and landscaped spaces.
Underground Pipe and Wire Work Suitable for various pipe, cable, and wire installation projects requiring trench depths of 16 inches or less, subject to local installation requirements.
Compact Trenching Solution Converts an existing compatible power cutter into a minitrencher, offering a practical alternative for smaller excavation jobs where full-size trenching equipment may be unnecessary.
Two Digging Chains Included Includes two digging chains to support the supplied attachment configuration and provide the essential trenching components specified for this model.

I've started using the mulcher I on several parcels of land 10 acres . I have grind down a couple of 14 inch stumps. Caution the mount bracket behind the mulcher motor exhaust gets extremely hot even with gloves on . But the unit so far seems to works very good it's well put together.
The Firminator G3 is s heavy duty quality machine. The discs worked extremely well and planting and culti-packing is very smooth and easy. Working with Dillon at Ripping It Outdoors was a very good experience and seamless transaction.
Just got my Buffalo Turbine! Love it. Took a little bit to get used to getting the right angle for the nozzle, but not a problem. Side note, works much better if the frame is level as much as possible.
Love it!

Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops.
Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.
After spending way to much money for forest mulching services I discovered this wonderful machine. It's not a giant powerhouse forest mulcher, but it does everything a property owner needs to maintain a forested property. I wish I would have found it sooner.
The Firminator is well built and functions well. I am having some trouble while planting mixed size seeds. Next time out I’ll try setting it so only the smaller seeds drop out the open it up for the larger seeds.
easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.
Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.
My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now.
I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on.
I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.
Great piece of equipment. Performs far better than I expected. One piece of advice - if property is significantly overgrown, consider the tractor attachment first to bring down the over growth and then switch to the UTV attachment to maintain property. No complaints worked perfectly.
Do not buy a Stout Bucket Trail Boss unless you are a willing mechanic who wants to spend $1700 to get it functional. Crooks, ripoff, terrible experience. Do not buy!!
When I think of ripping it outdoors something else comes to mind, but I digress. This spreader is awesome. Works like a champ. The hopper is big enough to do my 1 acre lot for my applications. Just load once and go. I would highly recommend this spreader. It saves a ton of time and is a quality product.
Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!
TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks
