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! |

There was the stuff you had to dynamite and then there was the really hard stuff. Now I am in SW Florida and live on a big sandpile. Charlie |

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 |
