    What's your hoe doing?

    It took years of swooning but well worth the effort for sure! She was helping tonight locate some small leaks having an extra hand makes a big difference!

    What's your hoe doing?

    Thought I'd make a post here thanking everyone for all the advice and information shared on my Case 680E. I've learned a lot and it's helped me trench power to me and my wife's dream home. The good ol case has been working hard piggy backing off a hammer Hoe to clean up after breaking the rock...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    That is my biggest worry about the hammer. I know it's a lot of work swapping back and forth without a QC, especially the way my 680E is set up with the factory frost tooth. There are a lot of shims, and the pins are pretty dang tight in there. I did get some new pins that will hopefully help...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    The bucket was like that when I got it, which is why I had to weld it, the rest of the machine was in pretty good shape. I am sure someone abused it quite a bit before me and that is why I got a good deal on it and had to put a little work into it. I appreciate the warning in the words and I...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    I think it would help quite a bit, whether or not it would get through the rock, I am not sure but I do think it would help as I am not very deep and hitting large rocks if I could get my hands on one it would be a whole lot better than my big bucket that is currently on the machine.

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    Hey Tinker, thanks for all the information I have been learning a ton about hydraulics it sounds pretty simple. I'm gonna need quite a few adapters, the lines for this machine are huge!! I ran some big excavators that had smaller lines! I'll definitely add yours thumb addition to my nighttime...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    I wanted to thank everyone for helping me get this hammer up and running. I've got a closer local machine shop making the bushings to adapt the hammer from 50mm bushings down to 45, so it will fit my machine as far as the mechanical connection. As for the hydraulic connection, it sounds like I...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    That was my thinking as well, especially since trying to use the frost tooth was completely ineffective as well. Granted it doesn't have the strength that the bucket now has but it wasn't making much of a difference. I'll keep looking for a ripper or 12-inch bucket that would fit my machine. I...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    Here is the promised picture of the backhoe bucket crack before I welded it, the backhoe came with those teeth on the machine and I have since swapped them to the two prong rock teeth. Broken a few and had to put the original teeth back on while I wait for replacement single point rock teeth to...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    Tinker if you got a picture of that you would be my hero for the day. That would be nice just so I know what the heck I'm looking at and not digging through my huge service manual. My wife thinks I'm nuts because for the last week that service manual has been my bedtime reading material. If that...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    I do have teeth on the bucket, the bucket has always had teeth on it, currently it has the two prong rock teeth on it and regular teeth due to breaking some teeth earlier on other projects. Once I scape the rock enough with the teeth the cutting edge will begin to hit the rock and while you may...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    Thanks for the advice! The flow rate on my hammer is 13-23GPM and max pressure is 1,740-2465PSI. According to my service manual my machine should be about 2,200PSI at 2,200RPM. Not sure how to even set the relief on my machine I'll be the first to admit I have a whole lot to learn about this...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    Hi Tinker, I'll start looking into that for sure thank you very much. I found a couple of kits from Summit Hydraulics that look like they may be a good fit. I've been operating a while but I'm relatively new to the mechanic side of things for Backhoes but their stuff seems pretty simple. I...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    Thanks for the replies to address the questions so far. I was under the impression that the boom on the 680E was pretty strong, more than enough to withstand hard digging and demanding day-to-day construction. I have seen some of these machines with hammers and have not heard of any issues but...

    Adding a hydraulic breaker/hammer to a case 680E backhoe

    Greetings all, I am currently working on adding a breaker to my Case 680E backhoe loader. I got a good deal on a Toft 750 hammer locally and really needed this for the hard digging I've been doing on the property. While I build my house. Rental fees were getting out of hand. That said I'm a...
