  • Vehicle-mounted hydraulic slab cutter
    Patent number: 9259849
    Abstract: A cutting implement configured to be attached to an implement carrier of a power machine. The cutting implement includes an attachment structure that is capable of engaging and being secured to the implement carrier. The cutting implement further includes a boom having a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end is attached to the attachment structure. A trolley is selectively positionable between the proximal end and the distal end of the boom. An undercarriage is operably coupled to the trolley and has a cutting element attached to it. The undercarriage is moveable under power in a lateral direction with respect to the trolley so that the cutting element is capable of being offset along a lateral direction with respect to the boom.

  • Vehicle-mounted hydraulic slab cutter
    Publication number: 20080017182
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted cutter for cutting a paved surface such as concrete is disclosed. The cutter utilizes the hydraulic power from a vehicle to operate a saw motor that rotates a blade operably attached to a trolley, an orbital motor that engages causes the trolley to move along a boom, and an hydraulic cylinder that determines the depth of the rotary saw relative to the boom. Using a control box that controls the flow rate of hydraulic fluid, an operator can adjust the travel speed of the trolley and the depth of the rotary saw.
