TECHNICAL INFORMATION: CUTTER-CRUSHER BUCKET OPTION

Out performs hammers in most applications

Ideal for trenching and pipeline construction

Ideal for mixed ground, this multi-functional tool

combines a Hydraulic Cutting Unit with a bucket system
for on-site EXCAVATING, CUTTING, and CRUSHING in a
single operation, without changing tools. One excavator
can both cut and clean trenches.
Retrofittable on existing cutting units.
