Overview
The Takeuchi Medium Duty Skid Steer Hydraulic Breaker demolishes concrete slabs, asphalt, rock faces, and frozen ground that buckets cannot penetrate. Takeuchi attachments are available through Canadian equipment dealers and distributors. Impact energy and blow rate determine performance on hard material; match the breaker class to your machine's auxiliary hydraulic output. Used extensively on Canadian construction and utility sites. Available through Takeuchi dealers across Canada.

Key Facts
- Brand: Takeuchi
- Type: medium-duty hydraulic breaker
- Drive: high-flow auxiliary hydraulic
- Mount: universal SSQA quick attach
- Application: production concrete demolition, rock
- Weight: 700–1400 lbs
- Hydraulic flow: 15–20 GPM
Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You break concrete slabs, curbs, light foundations, and moderate rock on medium-frame skid steers
- General contractors who need a breaker for occasional demo work without investing in a dedicated excavator attachment
- Your machine has 40-70 HP and standard hydraulic flow — medium breakers are sized for that range
⛔ Skip if…
- Heavy reinforced concrete or large rock is your primary target — a heavy-duty breaker gets the job done faster
- You're only doing light demolition on small machines — a compact breaker is sufficient and lighter
🔍 Also consider…
- Heavy-duty hydraulic breaker for larger machines and harder material
- Light-duty breaker if your machine is compact and work is occasional
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.
About Takeuchi in Canada
Takeuchi is a Japanese manufacturer of compact excavators, track loaders, and skid steers with a dealer network across Canada. Their OEM attachments are engineered for Takeuchi machines but use standard quick-attach interfaces for cross-brand compatibility.
Care & Maintenance
- Check nitrogen buffer gas pressure at the start of every season and whenever impact energy feels reduced — low gas pressure is the most common cause of reduced performance
- Lubricate the tool (chisel) bushing and retainer pins before every use — dry bushings accelerate side-loading wear on both the bushing and the tool shank
- Inspect the lower bushing for wear after every 40 hours — a worn bushing allows chisel wobble, reducing impact energy delivery and accelerating shank wear
- Never blank-fire the breaker — operating without material contact destroys the internal valve in minutes; this is the most common cause of breaker failures
- Verify return-line back-pressure annually — back-pressure exceeding the breaker's rated limit destroys the valve seal progressively and may not be immediately obvious
How to Connect
- Attach breaker using Bob-Tach
- Connect single aux hydraulic circuit (breakers use one-way flow)
- Set machine to single-action aux mode if available
- Run 5 seconds at idle before working to allow oil to circulate
⚠ Safety NoteBreakers use single-direction flow. Do not run breaker in same position for more than 30 seconds — move to avoid blank-firing damage.
⚒️ Before You Buy a Hydraulic Breaker
Breaker sizing and hydraulic matching are critical — an oversized or underpowered breaker wears out faster and can damage your machine.
- Size the breaker class to your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) Breaker sizing guide →
- Verify your machine's GPM and PSI output match the breaker's requirement Hydraulic flow guide →
- Confirm anti-blank-fire protection — protects both the breaker and your machine

Confirm Machine Fit
Verify your machine's hydraulic flow meets this attachment's requirements before ordering. High-flow attachments need 25–45+ GPM — standard flow machines won't run them properly.
