CASE CONSTRUCTION ripper tooth are designed to optimize the operating performance of the CASE CONSTRUC-
TION excavators in primary digging of tough, rocky soils and frozen grounds, or in primary cutting of road pavement.

of the machine, and to refer ripper tooth application to specific working conditions.
