Yes Jimmy, and welcome to CMN.
I remember them. Self propelled drop hammer with a Bedford engine.
They were used extensively for breaking up conctete and tarmac slabs and carrageways in the 1960s, good machines with high output on the right job. The hydraulic hammer seemed to take over from them.
Sorry the photo. is poor but this one's for sale in this months Tractor& Machinery mag.

Re: Arrow Self Propelled concrete breaker
Hello fowler man. Thats the machine. Although that 1 appears to have some sort of cab on it ours didnt. Remember a hydralic hose bursting on it once and shower'n my da and sister (who was sitting beside da) with hydralic oil. We still keep her going about it to this day. Will try to find some pictures of it and post them up.

Re: Arrow Self Propelled concrete breaker
Was talking to my da earlier about this machine.He informs me that we still have it and its layin at my uncles farm. We used to ave alot of old plant laying down there that had parts robbed off them over the years. bt with the hi price of scrap a few years ago all was cashed in. I thought the breaker went to bt da says it was saved. Heres a picture of it in its resting place around 2008 and as u can c its a sorry looking state.

Hi Jimmy,
If you look at this British Pathe film on the attached link (Was posted in a separate thread on this site), towards the end there is an Arrow Road breaker working
