Mastacator question

[ddigger]

Do any of you guys have any experience with a unit that could handle a demolition type application? I am currently doing a fair sized hotel. Wrecking and putting a stucture on the ground takes no time at all, its the processing to make it ready to load out that is time comsumining. I have a up coming job wrecking a bit over 500 houses and I cant help but daydreaming of a quicker method. The mastacator would need to be powered from the host machines own hyd power. I use a cat 330L which is roughly an 80.000 pound machine. Heres a couple of shots of the motel I am currently doing.

No wires....you could never use a horizontal drum type grinding head unless you remove ALL of the wiring and most of the foundation block. No ideas here!

There is a "stone crusher" that is like a mulch head on steroids. It is used to turn stone filled fields into soil. FAE is the company. About $40-50k from what I've seen on the net and needs about 200hp. I think it's only for a tractor PTO.

If you could clean out all the metal and wire, it may work. But, if you could do that easily you wouldn't have the problem!

Not sure how well it works...but its the only mulcher/shredder that I've come across that mentions building demo.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to contact slashbuster to see if they have a dealer in my area.

I notice you have a thumb on your hoe. Why not just load the material into tub or horizontal grinder?

Dss, Simple answer cost prohibitive.
