    Lets not forget that the excavator is so flexible at doing different types of work, that it's hard to beat at small projects like this.
    Once you need to remove large areas of pavement / concrete slabs, you'd probably go grab a pavement milling machine anyways that they also use in roadworks. But they're pretty specialised machines, so it's limited what you can use them for ... again, equipment costs is important.
    Anyways, enjoyed watching you tear some concrete apart, thanks for sharing. :)

    So what are you doing on this job after tearing out the driveway? Seems a bit different for you to be doing residential stuff like this.

    Why do you break it up after its in the pile? Why not leave it in big chunks so you can haul it easier?

    That came up nice the concrete placer will be happy as a pig in shit there isn't much prep needed to place the new driveway. Lucky there was no bar or mesh gotta love it when people are cheap and they skimp on re-inforcing lol.

    Why not just use a skid-loader and use forks and take the sections out like that?

    No rebar or mesh used in your part of the world! It is here, in everything concrete. Tare outs like the one you're doing are not that. Simple here.

    Hey Chris why don't I use a ripper to break up the Crete instead of stuffing up the teeth on the bucket and the thumb as well

  • @24bosoxfan
    @24bosoxfan 11 років тому

    Or you can just use a jackhammer on a skid-loader and balance the pieces of concrete on the jackhammer and load the truck like that. Lots faster but it does take some practice doing.

    why wouldn't you load that right into a truck

  • @2blackdanes
    @2blackdanes 11 років тому

    Why waste the time and money on a compressor and hammer when you still need something to pick it up and load it? I'm sure if you can do it as quickly by hand as Chris can with his equipment, he'll be out of a job soon enough and you won't have to watch his videos any more.

    Why buy jack hammer if you can do it more faster with this way? :O

  • @2StrokeSmokes
    @2StrokeSmokes 11 років тому

    You should buy a jack hammer and a ingersoll rand compressor that can tow behind a pickup.
