Gehl Heavy Duty Skid Steer Hydraulic Breaker
Overview
The Gehl Heavy Duty Skid Steer Hydraulic Breaker demolishes concrete slabs, asphalt, rock faces, and frozen ground that buckets cannot penetrate. Gehl attachments are available through Canadian equipment dealers and distributors. Impact energy and blow rate determine performance on hard material; match the breaker class to your machine's auxiliary hydraulic output. Used extensively on Canadian construction and utility sites. Available through Gehl (Manitou Group) dealers across Canada.

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
Designed for Gehl machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

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
- Attach breaker using Bob-Tach
- Connect single aux hydraulic circuit (breakers use one-way flow)
- Set machine to single-action aux mode if available
- Run 5 seconds at idle before working to allow oil to circulate
