I didn't see the rebar before I started commenting. That changes everything. You need a hot saw to cut the rebar as you go alone. You got good at the end with that machine. Fun to watch
I like how it's 2:30pm at 8:18 in the video and then one minute later on the same recording or 9:20 in the video it's now 4:00pm.
Only thing we ever use our breaker for is curb removal at the street and large staircases we cant lift. I can tear out a 60x30 driveway with rebar in it with just our t190 or t590 and a set of forks and partner saw in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Mind you that is solo demo. When having a co-worker stand by with the saw and dump truck ready it shouldn't take more than an hour. Then again ive been pouring and tearing out concrete for almost 20 years. Also adding that in your case it would have been easier to play with a breaker for a few hours instead of knowing from experience what is most efficient. Plenty of ways to skin a cat where i'm from. You sir have my respect in the since that the machine and task does not scare you. I wish more homeowners would do their own dirty work.
I'm now officially a huge fan of Kubota and want to save up for a SVL95-2S!!!!
Thanks for another honest and informative video Rob
you guys should look up drop hammers. they are easier on the hydraulic pump and on the pivot pins. we can tear out 800 sq ft in about 2 hrs including drive time to the dump.
wow he makes it hard work
normally you just chop saw sections that your Skidsteer can lift. and that also avoids the rebar hanging on the next piece. This job didn't require a hammer.
Couldn't agree more. Saw cut then remove. Much easier.
The easiest way to break it up is to hit it in the saw cut spots and pop it up then Load it into your truck in slabs
+Skid Steer Solutions forks are the best way to go for busting out concrete.
True. But not if it's reinforced concrete, watch the video and you'll see our attempt at this and unfortunately it didn't go as planned. We had to redo our holes all across the driveway to break-up around rebar. This made it easier to lift the concrete out using a high volume bucket.

I use a toothed bucket to lift my first slab. After that I lift the slab with my grapple and just drop it to break it up. Cat 299 with weight pack

We tried that too. The problem is that on this driveway it was reinforced with Rebar. :/
I'm a groundworker, we had a job roughly about that size and it was pretty much in the middle of nowhere and a hydronic pipe went on my machine breaker, I had to get a petrol hand breaker whilst my bud put pressure under the concrete with a grading bucket to make it breack easier. Thankfully it wasn't reinforced but it was as deep. That was a hard day lol
Some days are harder than others... Glad to hear you guys pushed through! Thanks for the comment :)
i have never seen concrete taken out like that in my entire life and its all i do every day. interesting. great video but i think this way is a tad slow.
Hahaha That made the office laugh pretty good. Well, I think we learned a lot.
I use a skidsteer for driveway removals too. because of my dump trailers. I need 2ft chucks or it beats up the trailers. dig out the dirt at the end of the driveway about two feet back. then hammer 2ft chunks and when the concrete breaks flip the hammer forward and you will get nice clean chunks. Should only take about 30 minutes to break it all up, then put the bucket on and start loading. That hammer was weird, you should be able to put all the down pressure you want without it making any difference. The hammer should of been hitting way faster than that with such a big machine When you pound holes it leaves a lot concrete crums to pick up. I love driveway replacements
I think it was there first time doing this, I think they got the hang of it by the end. I agree though on your usage but they were combatting reinforced concrete so I think it needed to be small bits by the end.
Great video! Why is the Kubota covered up of its decals? And was there a reason you didn't use an excavator to pop the concrete up? Thanks!
Wow, so the "White" machines are the company that sent the legal notice? Im not clear on the sarcasm in the message? haha.
Amazing that the Korean white machine company is so stupid that they do not want free advertising. While the US legal system is corrupt and inept I am not aware of any successful lawsuits because someone used a particular piece of equipment for a video demonstration. Might as well locate a vintage machine which is out of production.
I know what you mean. Years ago I helped a local attachment maker design and build attachments like one of the first pole saws and auger bit for grinding stumps. Even appeared in his demonstration videos without pay. He was put out of business by a frivolous patent suit. Of course he still made and sold custom attachments for cash til he retired. As for me I only buy used equipment and fix it myself, and never put back factory decals on anything I paint.

i like it i will have it in my job for demolition on overpass
That's awesome! all the best to you. If you need a hydraulic breaker, visit www.skidsteersolutions.com/skid-steer/skid-steer-attachments/concrete-breakers
wow that was 1000 times harder than it should have been.
Good video. I think if you would have used an excavator instead of the skid steer it would have been much easier. But coming from someone who has both now but hasn't always, you use what you have at the time.
I wouldve said rubber boots for the rain but this is more fun.
Light material bucket at the end???
my I ask why you are using a light material bucket to load concrete chunks on to a dump truck.?
Hey there! We were using a HD Berlon bucket: www.skidsteersolutions.com/hd-construction-bucket-attachment-berlon-industries/
Then at the end after we realized we were going against rebar reinforced concrete we started breaking up the pieces real tiny and scooping them up with a bucket. It's actually much easier than if they were in slab form.
mamnutt oho
I think you need a little more experience
How do you like doing maintenance on your svl95-2S is maintenance easy? Btw great video
It's great, we had a high flow heating problem with some of our attachments. Kubota did something silly there but otherwise, we are nothing but promoters of the SVL-95 2S
Great Video.
How do u get jobs?
Any perticular web page for job bids?
Or just by word?
Finished results?
Did you rent that dump truck or do you own it? I have a similar project to do but perhaps a little more extensive and there's going to be a high-cost in dumpster. renting a dump truck might be cheaper in the sense that it can be loaded directly and maybe not so much of a weight restriction for a canister that has to be picked up
We paid for a driver and truck.
If you had forks why not just use them from the get go to remove it? Been operating for a concrete company for 5 years and never had the jack hammer attachment always just used forks from the get go to take it out much more time efficient and comes out in big pieces as well.
Hi, thanks for your comment, we appreciate the feedback. Different jobs call for different things, some forks would not be rated for this, some people don’t want to damage their forks, and some people may need it to be broken up into smaller pieces. In case other people would like an attachment for it, we offer the solution :)
I'm going through 33" of concrete with 5/8 - 3/4 rebar on a 6" grid in an underground parkade. Any tips. Same equipment just a 800lbs hammer.
You need bigger equipment buddy
Hi, I just buy one of this brand, but is used, so I can see a size number, and I need recharge with nitrogen, how can I know how much pressure thats need to have in it?
How was the jackhammer for you?? Is it worth the buy??
What size bucket is that ? 1 yard ?
what can I do to make it work like that
Hi Carl, if you need help with your attachment please give us a call at 866-966-2538 so we can figure out how to help you. Skid Steer Solutions.
You can break the concrete in big slabs 4x4 and load it with the actual breaker. Way faster and no dirt.
Not with rebar
Can this vibration damage home?
It makes the wife feel good at home!
nice kubota svl
Mini Ex with a thumb would have taken half the time
your breaker is weak if you cant put tbe entire weight of the skidsteer on it
Four inch concrete? I can go through 6 inch with a 30 pound hand held jackhammer. He should use a chisel bit not a bull point.
how many feet out should you protect/cover home windows?
I could have taken this entire driveway out using forks on that skid before he finished with the jackhammer.
holy shit you made a mess of that. The way the rebar is laid out, you should have worked on half of it (long half) and removed the first row and picked it up and then do the second remaining row.
Nugglashine We didn’t know it was reinforced concrete. Had we known there was rebar, the proper technique would have been to make the breaker holes closer together using the tools we had available. Thanks for your comment, we learned a lot from this project and it’s always fun to take the tools out and show our customers how they can be used (not always perfect or proper though haha)
Do you have a concrete breaker?

What is the song 1:53 please?
We made it in our studio ;)
Oh and we wouldn't have take that load! Way to much dirt!
hey, can you come fix my basement.
This is a what not to do video.
This guy has no idea what he’s doing. You start on the very edge of the concrete break a piece off and push it so it creates another edge to break off. The concrete needs room to break. I can break up a driveway that size in less than an hour with the same set up. You don’t just punch holes LOL. I do concrete demo for a living, do this every day.
Hi
You can’t operate sorry that machine is twice as good as you made it look!
:( hahaha It was our first concrete removal project. We got a lot better as the day went on. It was tricky with the Rebar. Do you have a machine? If so, check out our website www.skidsteersolutions.com
I have a hammer like that but not work like your

Criminal,use of a wide bucket, so much force at the edge, my guys would have been sacked
We don't use cheaply made buckets. Berlon Buckets are built for it.
Pitiful get a bobcat first off not that junk your in. Order a roll off dumpster to load. And finally have the skill to tear it out before you make a video we would have been have been halfway through pouring new driveway before you get tore out
Hi Darrel, Thanks.
😂 this video is clearly what not to do. Can you get an escalator with a chipper on it while one person is operating the excavator chipping concrete. The other guy is operating the skid stir loading up trucks that’s how you get production done what this guy is doing is child’s play just to make hours to make more money. In other words, waste of time and money

Don't try to make a video if you don't know what you're doing you may confuse a homeowner into tearing their own driveway up it could get ugly like your video
Did you watch the whole video? It talks about what we learn as we go. This isn't an instructional video, it's a demonstration of a real DIY project. It turned out fine in the end - DIYers with no experience in concrete tool work aren't going to just tear their driveway out without research, hopefully they see this video and learn from it. We are happy to report that the new driveway is great! :D Thanks for your comment.
Most ppl will and most ppl will learn by doing his video is fine and I’m sure he learned some things while doing also experience just doesn’t come from nowhere..
