Ye old crusher buckets

[Dr pecker]

Sorry about the recent absence but been piddling about with Rototilt & a bit of hawkfawk stuff of late.
I was always against small crusher buckets, anything under 13t ain't worth it i would say until one of customers said, can you get us a bucket for my 3.5t.
I said go to BAV, they do em, he said i did and could'nt get on with the bod on the end of the phone, 'can you get one'?. Yes, but there's no demo, just a vid.
Fair play to him, he stuck his neck out and brought one and to this day he says it's one of his best investments. It was a Hawkfawk 22" and i must admit, it was a bloody well built bucket, no flexi floors just good old solid hardox floor & ribs with replaceable wirtgen crusher tips.
We have since taken them on board, done some local demos' and flogged a few. We have even got the product down to 50-80mm coming out as this was a common complaint. 'Too bigger lumps' they would say. (I knocked up a material reducing crusher plate)
Although in some eyes they can be painfully slow, we were knocking out around 3t an hour on the 50mm and 8t on the bigger 100mm which i did'nt think was too bad considering the cost of crushed delivered nowadays.
Anyone else run Hawkfawks on he

Seen them at Plant shows in the early 2000’s. Seemed well built but a bit bulky.
Are they still under Baughans?

 

[TiltyShaun]

Also curious to know what they are now ££&&

I got one, I crushed up a good wee pile earlier this year. I bought second hand and there is a bit of wear on it. The bucket teeth are replaceable the tungsten points are replaceable but lower down where the magic happens it wears with no replaceable parts. But overall a good tool imo.

It works well on concrete and soft stone, get a lump of granite in there and stops her in her tracks

You can buy let's call it the magic bar as a new weld in part.

The one I got demonstrating to customers pisses through granite .
Nothing it hasn't eaten yet and it's only a 22" bucket

Looking at your video, it looks high flow low pressure as jaw is working too fast.
What size bucket is it and I'll get you the correct pressure setting.

You have no faith in your product..... send me one

I got one of hawkforks demo VHS tapes some 25 years ago they seemed to have a vast range of attachments and machines, from car crushers to root forks.

All seem to be built to withstand a bomb blast I saw the main man at the last plantworks i think it was.
Nice man, nice kit , nice attitude , cant see why the kit wouldnt be worth a try based on all those factors .

Seems a bomb blast may be no match for @JD450A mind.

 

[V8Druid]

one I saw a vid of some time ago had a cyclic valve running it and presumably ran off a single acting service ... still the case @Dr pecker ??
they certainly look bombproof ..... what's the smallest one they do, machine fit-wise?

Quite right Richard, I assume it's Andrew baughan you saw. Good engineer, belts and braces man with plenty of information on fag packets and yes he builds strong products reasonably priced and built to last. Even JD450A couldn't break it .
They make a damn good manual grapple to but the pricing is a little wayward compared to the other makes

Yes they run off a recyprical valve allowing you the run off single acting aux.
Don't change something that works well eh.
The smallest they make is a 18" bucket for 1.5 to 3t

Even JD450A couldn't break it .

This has'nt been scientifically proven
