Getting this boulder out of where a foundation dig is going, the 317 couldn't move it so we brought in a hammer!

Great content

[@DirtBrute]

Thank you

[@dalepremo3695]

Really great content, Steve. Yes, different, but pretty neat to see.

[@DirtBrute]

Thank you !

[@LAKESIDEBOB1]

Dirt Brute you watch Demolition Dave, man you are a good man. I enjoy Demolition Dave.

[@DirtBrute]

Yes he’s great !

[@jamesfordjhfcontractingltd1627]

That looks like hard work

[@jamesfordjhfcontractingltd1627]

What’s happened to the point on the breaker ?

[@edgundlach2811]

Hi Steve. I enjoy your videos because you are a straight shooter. Your not hyping yourself up or tearing people down, except where needed. Without ever using one or even seeing one on the job, it seemed to me like there should be more of a point on the bit of the hammer. I'm obviously not talking a point like you'd find on a jackhammer. Is what you used typical of those hammers? I realize it's probably a dumb question, cuz you would have talked about it. Every once in a while I can't stop myself from the captain obvious questions. Lol Those were the biggest rocks I've ever seen on a job, yikes. I guess the area has to make up for the easy digging sand. Lol You and your son be blessed. Ed from Chicago 🙂

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

A sharp point wouldn’t last. As you hammer, it wears away… the chisel is a replaceable part. It will have a rounded point because you tilt the hammer as you use it… but not a sharp one.

[@DirtBrute]

Thanks Ed. The hammers all start out with a point but within an hour or so they become rounded. Truth is that hammer was too small for granite but the size I know we need and have used before goes on a much bigger excavator. Unfortunately that requires a big low bed and a lot of area to get it in. If we could get in the jobsite with one it probably would’ve cracked that rock in half with a couple smacks. Thanks for watching

@@DirtBrute Thanks steve. I thought it should look different. To me it just looked like a big blunt end. Probably just appeared that way to me. Thanks sassafras. I was a plumber for 30 yrs, mostly commercial. Small company but good for me. That meant I usually saw jobs from the underground all the way thru finish trim. New buildings and remodels. I had to stop not too long ago. At 56yrs old I got diagnosed with Cancer. Anyway, I think I have chemo brain because I couldn't come up with the word chisel last night when I posted. it's been happening more lately. Been on chemo about 11 months now. I like your channel sassafras, I will have to go and check though, to see if I'm still subbed. I was dropped from a number of channels. Steve here was one of them I didn't get notifications of. This cancer sucks, not only because it is hard on my family, but I really enjoyed working, and working hard. That was nother reason i liked working for a small company, I was a working foreman. Boy, I've been getting diariah of the finger lately. Take care Ed from Chicago 🙂

Steve are you guys over on Cummaquid it’s funny I drove by that house a lot to do work in that neighborhood and I always wondered why that house always seems like the backyard is under construction

[@DirtBrute]

Yeah that’s the house . Builder owns it and is redoing everything

[@KGSHEAMASONRY]

I like Ferri equipment I use them when I have stuff over on the other side of the bridge

[@DirtBrute]

They were great

[@njonebale7889]

That gets old quick…bang,bang,bang…little chip flys off! Great video nonetheless!

[@DirtBrute]

Long hrs banging on that thing

[@vinnyhern]

next time I recommend you rent a hand held concrete wet saw too, cut two parallel lines a little wider than a brick, then hammer it out, then repeat as need into smaller and smaller pieces! Or if you have a drilling service that can drill holes in lines to weaken the rock and then hammer on it.

[@DirtBrute]

Thanks for the info . Will do ! Sounds good 👍

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Steve goes Brute on granite boulder… gravel ensues! That pecker had all the rock it wanted. The rock did not want to fracture. It wasn’t made… it was forged!

[@DirtBrute]

Yup my kid said that’s Rock Formed by hot magma millions of years ago . I think he called igneous

[@Gary67242]

it's good you decided to hammer the rocks before you broke the bucket..smart move. rocks may have broke easier if you tried swearing at the same time .works for me.....thumbs up !!

[@DirtBrute]

See I knew that was a problem. I was to Polite to it 😂

[@andrewmarsh1897]

What size hammer was that? 5k lbs?

[@DirtBrute]

I’m not sure but it sucked ! 😂

[@charlestaylor2480]

Whats the name if the Rental equipment company

[@DirtBrute]

Ferri equipment

[@normanhowe-gl2tq]

Be careful, you'll shake that SANY apart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just saying!!!!!

[@DirtBrute]

😂😂. Turns out no one around here likes them so the place we rented this from stopped being a dealer

[@normanhowe-gl2tq]

@@DirtBrute Been in the business of site construction (site super for over 50yrs)) and it is just very hard to beat Cat, Deere, Komatsu---Sany may be cheaper but it will cost you in the end re: parts, service, and most important---production!!! I'm from the old school ----hard to change!!!!

[@DirtBrute]

@@normanhowe-gl2tq I grew up with John Deere and cat . I own Deere ,Cat, komatsu and Takeuchi. The Komatsu has been the best machine hands down . I’ve own it the longest and done the least amount of repairs to it .

[@normanhowe-gl2tq]

@@DirtBrute I agree---Komatsu is one of the top exc today and I love their 475a and 575a dozers----gives those Cats something to think about. Keep up the good work and always be fair and honest in your dealings----some contractors have trouble figuring that out. I can tell just by the way you are talking that you are not one of them !! I wish you all the best on your projects---Like me, ---YOU HAVE DIRT IN YOUR BLOOD!!!! It's easy to recognize!!!

[@DirtBrute]

@@normanhowe-gl2tq thank you and thanks for watching!

[@Michael-fd8ob]

I hate sany equipment.

[@DirtBrute]

I did not like the cab . Also didn’t get to dig with it . Most guys around here don’t like them . I’m all about that cat 317 !! That’s my favorite

[@zaxlandclearing]

Why?

[@DirtBrute]

@@zaxlandclearing cab is small . Blade lever is too close to arm rest . Almost under it

[@Michael-fd8ob]

@ZAX Land Clearing that are week and they fall apart to fast. I had one for 4 months and it was in the shop every other week. Finally got rid of it. It had become more of a headache than anything. Just never liked it.

[@DirtBrute]

@@Michael-fd8ob I didn’t get to dig with it . I liked I’d the one day we had it . Just didn’t like the cab
