Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You break large reinforced concrete foundations, thick rock, or concrete retaining walls regularly
  • Your skid steer is a large-frame machine (80+ HP) rated for a heavy hammer attachment
  • Production rate matters — heavy-duty breakers complete demolition jobs significantly faster than medium class

Skip if

  • Your machine is medium-frame or smaller — a heavy breaker can exceed carrier weight class limits and damage hydraulics
  • Occasional light demolition is your only use — a medium-duty breaker handles that range at lower cost

Also consider

  • Medium-duty hydraulic breaker for smaller machines and occasional demolition
  • Light-duty breaker for compact machines doing concrete curb or small slab work
Machine Compatibility

Best suited to large-frame machines (S750+ class or equivalent CTL). Verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering.

Care & Maintenance

  • Check nitrogen buffer gas pressure at the start of every season and whenever impact energy feels reduced — low gas pressure is the most common cause of reduced performance
  • Lubricate the tool (chisel) bushing and retainer pins before every use — dry bushings accelerate side-loading wear on both the bushing and the tool shank
  • Inspect the lower bushing for wear after every 40 hours — a worn bushing allows chisel wobble, reducing impact energy delivery and accelerating shank wear
  • Never blank-fire the breaker — operating without material contact destroys the internal valve in minutes; this is the most common cause of breaker failures
  • Verify return-line back-pressure annually — back-pressure exceeding the breaker's rated limit destroys the valve seal progressively and may not be immediately obvious

How to Connect

  1. Attach breaker using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect single aux hydraulic circuit (breakers use one-way flow)
  3. Set machine to single-action aux mode if available
  4. Run 5 seconds at idle before working to allow oil to circulate
Safety NoteBreakers use single-direction flow. Do not run breaker in same position for more than 30 seconds — move to avoid blank-firing damage.
