The Boulder Buster, ideal for use in places where explosives are not an option; close to buildings, equipment, work crews, power & gas lines etc.   Able to break the largest rock and boulders quickly, efficiently and cost effectively.   Thank you Arizona Department of Transport for photo's of the job.
