I was wondering what you guys thought about me making this hydraulic post pounder into a concrete breaker? It is coming up at a auction this week.
My thoughts were to add another foot or so of length to the weight and stronger steel to take the punishment of dropping on concrete.
I havent seen this in person yet, so i dont know how it works for sure. But it sure looks like it is similar to the models they make to break concrete.
Any thoughts ? doug
I guess the pics are to small to tell. But it stands upright and hooks to a skidsteer. Has hydraulic pump to lift weight up and i believe it free falls to drive in posts.
Your idea is a good one. The concept is exactly what the Cyclone drop hammer is. Cyclone is now a product of Stanley/Labounty. You can buy them off the shelf for about $ 7,500. I own one and use it quite often. if you can retrofit yours for less than what is costs to purchase... Go for it!
Yes, it reminded me of the cyclone type drop hammer. Well the auction was today and i lost interest when it got up over $3k. I did come home with a nice Chevy 3500HD diesel 12' rack truck with lift gate. Should be nice to unload floor saws , compactors or whatever.
Would this work?
