Breaking up concrete

The two ways to improve the situation seem to be: get a bigger hammer

would be suitable for 6 inch concrete?
"Get a bigger hammer" turned out to be an excellent suggestion. I
bought an 8 pound sledgehammer today. It took two blows to break the
remaining concrete in half. Three more blows and it was in 5 pieces,
all small enough to pick up easily. I was done in 5 minutes.
I sure wish I'd bought the larger hammer at the beginning of the
project!

So now, grasshopper, you understand why the term 'BFH' is used so often
in this group. Don't need it often, but when you do, there really is no
substitute.
