Hawkfawk Crusher Bucket Review

I review the HawkFawk HF27 from Attachment Solutions and give my opinions based on the short demo time I had with the attachment. Running on my JCB 3cx, this bucket was surprisingly fast on cycle times.

Great to see it on a backhoe not a 360 machine making the jcb a Versatile machine again

My idea behind it is I can drive to a job with the crusher, riddle bucket and breaker, and use one machine to break up oversize, riddle out the fines and produce a useable sub base with the crusher all in one hit

Nice exoplanetary video as always olly, I looked at buying one of these hawkfork buckets a few years ago, I decided to go with the bav 3 alligator crusher from dig bits in the end as it opens up much more demolition work for the machinery. Like ripping up concrete pads, footings and demolishing walls and buildings, you get a lot of material out of the large lumps, Large lumps like footings cant go through these crusher buckets so that was a big downside to them in my opinion. I then purchased a small concrete crusher (80ton per day) to crush on jobs and in the yard. Also I purchased a star screening bucket to separate the muddy clear ups and clean up site gardens. all works very well.
If you or anyone else wants to take a look at my set up then drop me a pm as youtube often hides comments with website links
carry on with the great videos, cheers, paul

Hi Paul, yes I’d love to see how you’ve made these attachments work. I’m very much at the start of my journey with this stuff

[@bobmorris3758]

Hi Ollie, another great review. I remember seeing these at SED back in the day. I've always liked the simplicity of the design and it appears well built. The price pitches it well for the occasional users who have difficulty hiring a crusher bucket but don't want too much money tied up in attachments.I've seen it mounted to a Skid Steer and then hand fed. 😥 Keep up the good work 👍

Hi Ollie Nice demo look forward to seeing your dig bits bucket in action Thanks again have a good week

[@attachmentsolutionsltd4110]

Just to let everyone know we do offer a reducer plate or permanent ridge sections to reduce the product size.

[@tristardiggin]

Pretty cool. Haven’t seen one of those.

[@thomaspoole6418]

Have you reviewed the Digbits bucket? Would be interesting to see it in action 👍🏻

[@Olliegunns]

The Digbits bucket is in the process of getting reviewed. Obviously as I own it, I’ve got longer to really find out its strengths and disadvantages. But I’m pleased I went with the BAV bucket so far

[@ashdowker4326]

nice will you get a bav for the 3cx then ollie

[@Olliegunns]

I already own a BAV for it, review coming soon 😉

[@ashdowker4326]

@@Olliegunns nice one love the 3cx always wanted to drive them 👍

[@breddin3919]

How about trying an MB C50 crusher bucket?

[@Olliegunns]

I really like the MB buckets and spent a long time looking at them. But the flywheel buckets are very heavy and whilst they fly though the material, on a backhoe it’s a bit much to be driving down the road with!

[@breddin3919]

@@Olliegunns how about an MB L160 for the front of the 3cx? Better balanced on front of the machine

[@nickdent8783]

The crushed needs to be type one size really.too much large stuff in there

[@Olliegunns]

I agree, the product wasn’t the best and it would have been interesting to see how fast it would have been if I put the bar in the back that crushes it smaller
