NM Attachments 8FR-30 Class 8 Frost Ripper is a single-tooth excavator attachment built for serious prying and ripping in frost or rock. With a listed penetration depth of 30 inches, this frost ripper provides a concentrated ripping point for breaking through difficult ground conditions. Its extra-thick AR400 steel ripping tine and AR400 side wear plates are designed for demanding excavation work, while the standard CAT-style tooth configuration supports practical tooth selection, with various tooth options available. The 8FR-30 is intended for excavators in approximately the 7–12 ton class, or machines with an operating weight of 14,000–24,000 lb, and can be mounted using a pin-on connection or quick coupler.

Built for Frost and Rock Ripping

The NM Attachments Frost Ripper family is designed for applications where concentrated force is needed to pry and rip through frost or rock. The single-tooth configuration directs the excavator’s breakout force into one heavy-duty ripping tine, helping address tough ground that may be difficult to penetrate with conventional digging attachments.

The 8FR-30 model provides a 30-inch penetration depth and uses an extra-thick AR400 steel ripping tine supported by AR400 side wear plates. This construction is suited to demanding ground-engagement work where the attachment is exposed to abrasion and high loading during prying and ripping operations.
