Well I got to run a husqvarna this week. And not a chainsaw. It's a demolition robot.

Sweet. What is the black hose that looks like its running to it? Are you in the demo business?
 
It's the electric cord. It is 480v phase. Yes, I work for a demolition company in st louis mo.
 
In the picture we were learning how to run it on the ground. The job was a 40'x40' concrete roof 30ft in the air. We used a crane to hoist it up there and I was in a man lift running it.

Can it be fitted with a bucket for excavator work? Looks like a nice piece of kit.

I believe so. There are several different attachments for. It's a cool little machine. And dont let the size fool you either. I hammered through 6" concrete, 4" clay block then another 6" of concrete plus rebar out the wazoo.

We definitely kept an eye on the cord. We are a fairly small company aswell. The owner is 3rd or 4th generation so it's a well known company in st louis.
 
The rebar in the slab was crazy.

Oh yeah, always a lot of steel in elevated slabs. The most I've ran into was in a sewer plant. Lot of 1" rebar. We use a set of hydraulic jaws on an excavator, chews up the concrete, and has a shear in the throat that cuts the rebar.
