Am kinda unknown to the hammer tool on the excavator but am gonna be starting a new job with it . So what's the best approach towards it?

When you are tripping with the machine, just the weight of the hammer do not lift the machine to apply more weight to the hammer like this guy did it in the video you screw everything up he’s a young kid. I got 40 years under my belt. Driving those machines and chipping and excavating

Great video, some misinformation in the comments. NPK suggests no more than 30 seconds in the same spot. And, you should always lift the tracks 4-6" off of the ground to preload the material. Otherwise you wont break that blue rock.
We generally suggest against those type of couplers, because when they fail, broken parts are spread into the hammer ans excavator. We suggest using Stucci or Roflex couplers which thread together. They are more robust and if they fail, they shut.
Greasing once per hour, always with full pressure on the tool.

I've always wondered how you control these on an excavator

[jonaldconcepcion]

What working levers do you use to Operate it left or right

[orzelbialy]

I’ve noticed a few times when hammering concrete with rebar, I almost had the hammer get stuck in the concrete. Am I hammering down too far?

Every time I talk about buying a hammer, everyone says they destroy the pins, shake your machine apart... one of my friends spent $1, 000 a day to rent a whole machine with a hammer. And he has an excavator.
Do they really drastically lower your pin and bushing life?

[igormahilum]

what ripper can do (D8 Cat) that Vibro hammer cant do? Im curious

[KushHights]

video ok one thing you missing totally and that is the settings part of the hammer attachment.you should take down the camera and focus it on the screen so that we could see fully what you was doing, but over all I like the video cause soon ill be operating, I would appreciate it if you could do over this video and include the part I told you to ok, thank you brother and continue to make videos for the world one love,

Greetings one Very Important thing which you Failed to mention is Before you start using a Hydraulic Hammer you should Grease the Tip and detail the proper way of greasing the hammer tip effectively. No offense intended just think it's a Very Important piece of info which should be shared. Also it is advisable when hammering for extended periods / hours, I will grease the tip more than the 1 time at the beginning. I have 30+ years operating experience with various machines. Also when explaining that you should not pull the hammered material, because you can break the tip / Chisel as it gets extremely hot.

How do i get a machine like this i real need it for my project i wanna do.

[elizabethkajjumba]

But you didn't show us to set the hammer tool on the excavator computer

Maybe it is in our culture, but few things i see when hooking up the hoses of the hydraulic hammer with a wrench: no safetyglasses, no helmet. I would not feel so safe when manipulating with a wrench, if something happens, the hydraulic pressure is over 400 bars. GReetings from Netherlands
