Nicely demonstrated the process of rip asphalt driveway apart. Keep it up the good work.

@thequattro20v Thank you for the suggestion! We don't do a lot of asphalt removal, I would say that we only rip out this much asphalt every few years.

Nice that's such a nice machine! You got to show us some before and after of the driveway!

Do you do a lot of asphalt removal? If so, might be a good idea to invest to a ashalt cutting wheel for a excavator. This was pretty easy place as you had just grass on the sides where you could start the demo. But that ain't always the case. Just started stonework season my self, trying to do some vids this season. :)

As others I assure you it would have been much quicker and neater to use the skidsteer, get under the the asphalt and fold each peice back till u have 4 or 5 pieces stacked up, then take then away

Try putting the blade down more next time. Makes a nice fulcrum for breaking slabs and cleaning up the bits is easier with something to load against. As plus you won't be bouncing around as much. Atleast tipping forward, not much to be done when trying to get the teeth to punch through.

That works. But this is faster.

BobcatNinja2124 Great videos and I've learn tons from you but in this instance, trust me skidsteer is waaay better. You can start with the forks (take off a fork if necessary) and work your way along the curb. Then just come up with the bucket and start rolling it over while scooping. Just remember to work from the edges inwards so its easier to break. Same amount of time, but with tri-axle loaded. Also forks are very handy when you wanna grab those more delicate pads like in front of the garage where you don't want to risk rolling the asphalt into the homeowner's door.

+MrOpcode gotta agree with Dirt Ninja on this one. Once you've done with with the precision of an excavator you almost don't wanna go back to the skid steer method. The forks work, but I'd rather not have such huge pieces in the truck taking up so much air space in the body, a little small and more in the truck

@DirtNinja 11 жыл бұрын

The smaller the pieces the more you can fit in a dump truck

so why tear up such a good looking Driveway to put back a paver one. They must have plenty of money to burn. that Driveway was 3 grand easy to put Asphalt on I bet.
