I hauled out another 3 trailer loads, so about 10-12 yds. Plus one giant rock that the excavator could just unweight enough to skid...

The i-HMT is actually different from an IVT/CVT. In particular, it doesn't utilize a planetary gear, but instead has a combined...

For sure, but I'm still struggling with how/why a carbide saw blade will cut the material where a mill that presumably also has a...

It's definitely an option, in fact it's the first thing on the list of things to change, if needed. I'm just not quite ready to give up...

I looked at both in my search for a large utility tractor. I love Kubota for compacts and small utility tractors. Small excavators...

Thanks. I have an Evolution metal saw with blades for both aluminum and steel. I could give it a try.

It’s hardened steel of some sort, but this is an area where I know very little. The machinist I took it to tried filing it to test the...

So much seems to depend on the material I’m trying to break up. Splitting granite, and breaking out the stuff around the big granite...

Would that work where a machinist said it was too hard to cut with a mill? I was wondering about cutting with an abrasive saw rather...

I knew it was full of ledge, but it has definitely been more work than I expected. Moving the building is the obvious alternative, but...

I looked into that, but they require 1-1/2" holes drilled 80-90% of the way through the rock. That's bigger than any drill I have can...

Ha, good thing my heads full of rocks too :) I have heard the same about excavators, and it will be interesting to see what the final...

It's a last resort. This site is only 40' from another building that is sitting on the same ledge system, so I'm concerned about...

I've been back on this project for the past month and have made a bunch of progress, though it's been very slow. Getting all the rock...

I would have gone there too, but they didn't have any of the Vario 200 models. As part of my search, I have been to New Hampshire...
