What happens here

With the grapple attachment securely installed, the Kubota is positioned over large concrete footings, described as '4-foot concrete chunks' from an old retaining wall. The operator uses the powerful hydraulic grapple to crush and break these substantial pieces of concrete. The grapple's 'claws' are used to repeatedly bite into the concrete, reducing it to manageable fragments that can then be lifted and moved. This process is critical for clearing the hard-to-remove structural elements from the site.

Goal: The Kubota, now with the grapple, breaks and removes large concrete footings from the excavation area, demonstrating its power and precision.

he's gonna swamp us that is the actual footing that's down at the bottom of the side rails so that footing is down two three four feet not two three four four about four feet or whatever the distance of those side rails are underneath here and so if we took this footing out right through here four feet down there would be nothing supporting this wall because that's how thick that is back there and behind there but it's not that high up it's down deeper it's down at that depth so you can see why we've got to leave that now i'm going to try to grab a little bit more but i don't want to undermine this patio so i got to be pretty careful right in here
