had our local contractor in with a 23tonne hitachi and a crusher on it, they was here for two days when it was wet, and they crushed upwards of 6 to 700 hundred tonnes of varying size concrete down to fist size and it cost £1800 plus vat, i dont know the make of the crusher but rob the driver said it was 3.5 tonne , seemed to us to be very reasonable as it was so much easier than having to load a mobile crusher and remove the the crushed stone etc, no mess and we had to do nothing.

Cost of moving the crusher and 360 was quite a bit I seem to remember, so you might need quite a pile to make it worthwhile. Had one here for a few days, the crusher had a screen on it and sorted out all the rebar as well. Think it was a £2-3k but well worth it. I think the transport alone to and from was £6-800

What else you going to do with it? Few hundred tonnes seems like a job for a good crusher......Go-for-it!
I had a pile from demolishing some old buildings. Fab. Job done & a new road made.

In my experience, anything less than a proper bit of kit like this is painfull ;)

had 20 ton digger with crusher bucket, digger £50/hr bucket £300/day, did a good job of crushing concrete from silo floor and walls but were told unless you have 1000 tonnes for a mobile crusher this is more flexible as it can load and pile itself no extra digger required.
all material used to make a lane on the farm.

Mates a crusher bucket on a 17 t it does a job and all relevant to the job i guess.
I bet same on a 20 tonner would be alot better.
But he can move his behind his tractor, his bucket 1.9ton
Much better than a sledge hammer

For his sales pitch, if hes on site anyhow probably not expensive

Chap from Wisbech. Think we are as far as he will go from there. We supplied the digger to load but he was happy to load himself. Will get number. Wasn’t the quickest as lumps are a bit big so spent a couple of hours with the pecker this evening.
