Komatsu pc09 built in breaker

[DaveDCB]

I knew these existed but hadn’t seen one in the wild until today.. thought I’d share!

Neat idea for those back yard jobs, I’d want something bigger if I was on utilities all day but still handy tool!

Give me a Bobcat E10 and quick hitch mounted breaker any day of the week!

Issue with them is they can't really be aimed

Think i posted this before.
Is this one

100kg additional weight with the breaker arm, it's a good idea but, that must take away alot from any lifting capacities

I cant see it been that much extra weight.

I think its quite a natty idea.

If your restricted on space by time you got a hammer on a normal micro youve got your arm quite for out as you cant work up close.

Yeh that’s what I was thinking, best of both worlds depending what your up to.

Brochure has it as a 100kg addon of weight. It's a very good idea

I see, i really wouldnt of thought it would of been as much as that. The hammers on my micros are about 60kgs.

At least if the breaker fails you could bash it with it.

Quite a cool idea! Be interesting to know whether they developed it for general market or specific job/application

must put a load of stress on the pin at the top of the dipper though

gettting the tool in and out is probably equivalent effort to a QH onto a breaker though

Well with my extra weight it should balance out just right

I think its curl bucket out and shove point in. Similar to that of a breaker pack. So quite quick and easy

This one was a demolition contractors machine, so they obviously have a use for it.. problem with employees is that rather than the hassle of detaching bucket and putting the breaker on they will generally smash whatever is in the way with the bucket until the bucket is no more, at least with this dipper breaker you stand half a chance of said employee using the inbuilt breaker!

Seen a few go through Euro auctions so they must be around...but looking at them, they had been worked.

Still have to put the point in, so depending on lazy arseholes still may end up with the bucket being a breaker
