excavator mounted hyd. rock drill

[Dominion 410]

Need to replace a tired Furukawa HCR-9E hydraulic rock drill. Has anyone got experience with a hydraulic rock drill mounted on an excavator?There are a few different manufacturers of these set-ups,just don't want to mention them on here.The added reach,above and below ground level would be a big advantage.When the drill was'nt needed,it could be removed and the bucket re-installed on the excavator.Not sure if going back to a dedicated crawler mounted rock drill is the way to go now.There are advantages/disadvantages to both set-ups,so any feedback appreciated.

Tramac

I would suggest calling Tramac in laval, PQ. they have an excellent line of Drill attachmens for excavators. I have seen a few here in Newfoundland that work great.
