Excavator Bucket With an Internally Deployable Breaker

摘要

An excavating machine, representatively a skid steer, has a pair of loader arms to which an excavating bucket is mounted. A hydraulic breaker assembly is protectively mounted inside the bucket and movable to extend outward therefrom. The bucket may be operated independently of the breaker assembly for digging operations. The breaker assembly may be positioned independently of the bucket and the breaker actuated for removing refusal material. The bucket and the breaker may then be cooperatively operated to perform removal operations. The same excavating machine can be used for digging and breaking operations without the need for a second excavating machine or device dedicated to breaking the refusal material.
