the topcutter cuts down to about 400mm for us any deeper is asking for trouble ;) the road in the picture had150mm of hotrolled tarmac and 300mm of concrete with reo in :x i can just about scratch through the last bit of concrete our dig is 1.2 and yes there are plenty of sevices to keep me on my toes :lol: this cut was 100 metres long and to him 3 hours and a few teeth
cheers graham
