Is This Right For You?

Buy if

You break concrete curbs, asphalt patches, frost, or light stone on compact to medium skid steers
Occasional demolition is part of your work mix and you want a simple, reliable hammer without high cost
Your machine has standard hydraulic flow — light-duty breakers don't require high-flow circuits

Skip if

Reinforced concrete foundations or large rock are your main targets — a medium or heavy hammer is needed
You run a large-frame machine — a light-duty breaker is undersized and won't give adequate productivity

Also consider

Medium-duty hydraulic breaker for larger machines and harder material
Heavy-duty breaker for large-frame machines and heavy demolition

Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

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
