That I believe is a "ripper" for attaching to the ar$e end of a Caterpillar.......
It is indeed a ripper tooth, but it is going on a 20 ton Hitachi excavator. They managed to break the first one, so this is new heavy duty design. 90mm plate for the main tooth, and 30mm for the hangers and gussets. Also a bit of 6" x 1.25" wall pipe going through the lot.
