Among some various other pics I have posted to other newsgroups, here are a
couple of pictures of a hoe ram they use in Las Vegas. Extreme SW Vegas,
Blue Diamond and Fort Apache area.

From the picture I cannot see the bit. They are about 5-6 inches in
diameter. I've been told, these bits even break in caliche.

Oh. Don't try to sleep during the day when this thing is operating
within in a mile of your home. How can that operator sit there all
day? :-/

Honey, the bed ran out of quarters!


A hydraulic breaker is a good alarm clock. I had some protruding rocks
to deal with in a semi-gravel driveway and rented a mid sized Bobcat
with a hydraulic breaker. 7:45am, have my coffee and breakfast sandwich,
7:55am start up the Bobcat and drive it over into position for the first
rock, 8:00am pull the trigger and *bam bam bam bam boom* no more rock.
Tons of fun
