Man they look weird without a ripper Stuart but i have noticed over the years it is the trend in the UK not to have rippers on 16,s? Saw same in the Cat vid series by G Miller i think it was and the 16,s at Stobswood were ripperless.

Funny you should say that GAV. Until I moved to Canada Ide never seen a Ripper on a Grader.

Different in the UK, The last mine I worked at .. The ground was soil and Clay (Sloppy Slurry MUD)

Some rock as well but nothing like Mountain top mining. No -30's either.
