Well i presented my research to the boss to rent a hyd breaker we will have to purchase an adaptor or have one made to fit our machine and the hammer , so all in all it will cost the same to rent each for a month . the d30 rock wheel will come with hoses and proper adaptor to pin on to my 336e all i have to do is have cat come out to set machine up and program the tool into the monitor , looks like we will rent the rock wheel soon as january comes around I will probably make a couple short videos of it working when we get it and will give an honest review of how it works on our material which is a petrified clay type rock I dont know what it is called deeper we go harder it gets is all i know and it turns blue and you can see fine lines in it every 2-3 inches like it was a sediment layer at one point in time

Lookin for ward to see how it works.
me too first months rent will go towards purchase if we go that route but its not cheap , about 57k for a brand new one but they do have used availble also 38k-42k for what they currently have same deal applies for rent with option to buy hopefully i will have my phone fixxed by then so i can take a video easily , if not i will use my camera and upload it to you tube
ps we already spent 4 grand in bucket repairs in 3 days time triing to dig the crap we are into but it makes good road material for trucks getting onto the landfill
