What is the purpose of the grader's rear ripper?

The primary purpose of the grader's rear ripper is to break up hard surfaces, which is vital for effective grading operations. When a road or surface becomes compacted over time, it becomes challenging for the grader to perform its function of leveling or smoothing the area. The rear ripper can penetrate these tough surfaces, loosening the material and making it easier to manipulate.

Once the hard ground is broken up, it can be effectively graded and shaped, leading to improved drainage, smoother pavement surfaces, and overall better road maintenance. This makes the rear ripper an essential tool in preparing the working environment for further grading tasks, ensuring that the grader can operate more efficiently and achieve the desired results.
