Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You break concrete slabs, curbs, light foundations, and moderate rock on medium-frame skid steers
  • General contractors who need a breaker for occasional demo work without investing in a dedicated excavator attachment
  • Your machine has 40-70 HP and standard hydraulic flow — medium breakers are sized for that range

Skip if

  • Heavy reinforced concrete or large rock is your primary target — a heavy-duty breaker gets the job done faster
  • You're only doing light demolition on small machines — a compact breaker is sufficient and lighter

Also consider

  • Heavy-duty hydraulic breaker for larger machines and harder material
  • Light-duty breaker if your machine is compact and work is occasional
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

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.
