Does anyone know if a J series ripper will bolt onto the back of a G series? Even if i had to fabricate a bracket or maybe drill additional holes? Are the rough dimensions the same?

Does anyone have a response to this? I am now looking at a set of rippers off a Case 850 then fabricating an adapter plate to fit the 550g. Are there any major concerns with the geometry of this idea and or hydraulic issues?

More than likely you will have to measure everything up yourself to see if it will fit. The manufacturers won’t give out the dimensions or bolt patterns of the back of their machines,or so I’ve found out. I had the same problem with a 850J.
