Joint for connecting an attachment to a hydraulic ram

A joint (500) for connecting an attachment (100) to a hydraulic ram (10), said attachment comprising:

• a base (110) having a base first edge, a base second edge opposite the base first edge, a base first end, and a base second end defining a base horizontal plane having a base top surface (116) and a base bottom surface (117) with a base wall spanning a distance between the base top surface and the base bottom surface;
• the joint comprising a ball (510) and a socket (520);
• and
• at least a first plurality of teeth (130) and a second plurality of teeth (140);
• and
• wherein the socket is connected to the base top surface;
• wherein the socket encompasses at least a portion of the ball;
• wherein the ball comprises a stem (540) extending from a ball surface substantially opposite the portion of the ball which is encompassed by the socket;
• wherein the stem comprises a hole (541) passing into the stem substantially parallel with a stem central axis (542), said hole consisting of a plurality of smooth surfaces, and said stem being configured to removably connect the joint to an end of the hydraulic ram by passing the end of the hydraulic ram into the hole;
• wherein the first plurality of teeth extend from the base bottom surface along at least a portion of the base first edge;
• and
• wherein the second plurality of teeth extend from the base bottom surface along at least a portion of the base second edge.
