Tomorrow I'm renting a concrete breaker for my 763 Bobcat.

The concrete I have to break up is a solid 3 foot wide by 3 foot wide block that extends 2 feet above grade and goes down into the ground 5 feet. I only need to break up the block to a depth of 6 inches below grade. Whats left after that can stay in the ground.

I've never used a breaker. What would be the best approach? Should I try and enter the block horizontally low to the ground and break the top off and then work my way down or should I start at the top (vertically) on top of the block and break my way down? I don't know what is faster or if trying to go horizontally is not even practical.

If you start working in a straight line, top down, can you get a crack going usually? I'm not sure what to expect with something this thick.

Also, there is some rebar in it. When I encounter rebar, am I going to need to use a cut-off tool to cut it or can I set the breaker bit on it and break it that way?

Right now I have my steel tracks on the machine. I don't need them on the machine any more. Before I take them off, would there be any benefit to having the tracks on for tomorrow or should I just go ahead and remove them today?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

I got a question: after this winter is over with, I am considering purchasing a rear box scrapper (Woods # BSE4, 48" wide), and a rock bucket or a attachment to the lower front of the MF bucket that could be used like a rock bucket . I think my property in Montana grows these rocks in the ground. All ideas would be great since I am a brand new tractor owner.

I understand from the forum that members who own both types prefer to use the flail. For some reason the flails are not poplar around here. I do not know anyone that has one, but most that own a tractor have a rotary cutter. I own pastures that was leased to a rancher that do to help reasons did not do upkeep. As such I have a lot of brush,briars and small trees (2-3") that need to be cleared as I am fencing and cross fencing. To add to the problem He would leave old pieces of barb wire and bailing string scattered. I also have areas around my home that I prefer to keep the woods groomed. So bottom line...... would a flail mower with mulching blades be a better choice than a heavy duty bush hog? ]]> Attachments dirt clod http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/157802-flail-rotary-rough-compact-utility.html http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/157795-boat-w-loader.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:57:50 GMT Here is an interesting machine; combines a tractor loader with a boat.

Common sense (for lack of better terms) has me thinking this is a "set it and forget it" thing...Why would a person want it opened up all the way? I've tested out the rake with NO barrier, and I honestly dont see why a person would use the rake like that?

Where I'm going with this is should I make the deflector in a fixed position or adjustable...obviously fixed is easiest, adjustable has a bit more added complexity.. ]]> Attachments Spudland_Dave http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/157789-power-rake-deflector-rubber-barrier.html http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/157784-sub-soiler-depth-horsepower.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:53:21 GMT I am considering getting a sub-soiler to help with water runoff.

The tractor was just above idle and it chipped a dry 3" piece pretty well. The thing that was odd was that the hopper was low and parallel to the ground. I thought most manual feed chippers' hoppers' were set more on a steeper angle to help feed the brush in. This one didn't feed in real well, maybe sharpening the knives or more rpm's or both would make a difference. I would like to hear from anyone outh there that has one and how it has worked out.

Does anyone happen to know who the dealer was? The unit was blue, the ad said they had them made to their specifications so it didn't have a brand name on it, and they were $1599. I'm positive the dealer was in Terre Haute, IN but can't remember the name. I thought it might be the Tractor Man, but that guy doesn't seem to sell what I'm looking for.

I own mostly Woods attachments and have been very satisfied with the quality. I also have a few Landpride attachments and there good also good but the seem to cost more than Woods and don't feel it's justified. I plan on using the PHD mostly for planting tree's all over my property. The tree's will be larger evergreens so I need to get at least a 2' planting auger. I live in New England so rocks are plentiful and I'm concerned.The smaller rated PHD's are spec only to 12' auger but I'm thinking the larger auger will fit and work. Is the shaft size the same for the larger diameter augers? I'm not going to go very deep at all and will get the unit's with the pilot bits. I know these units are shear bolt protected so is there really any danger in using a larger auger? And will it fit the PHD? I've got a backhoe but I really don't want the mess the hoe will make. It seems that the PHD will really save me alot of time.
