The Ripper tooth bit is broken off. That adds extra load on the machine to break the rock.

I wonder if you could put one of those xcentric rippers on the back of a dozer and get better results…

Truthfully if I’d been on the powder crew I’d filled the holes full yes we’d lay mountains over sideways no ripping just pushing dozer operators loved our Blasting crew drill all week load at night shoot on Friday.

At this point I could just drop a nuke there and fix the problem.
