Yeah, they seem to be rare. I haven't seen a PTO one come up for sale in the last 18 months. Thats agriaffaires and mascis as well so covers most of Europe.

What’s Mascis? Googled it but nothing.

I was quoted - PTO version, on a single axle, no crane £33k ex tax. Saw one in France that looked to be newish with low hours for €22k.

 

No idea on hammers cost etc but they must last a while? I appreciate it's smaller but on my TW S426 it's on 570 hours on original hammers. I just put a bit of an edge on them with a grinder occasionally. 

 

They are painfully slow on 15cm+ stuff but for big bundles of brash they do a great job. We use it for all our basal/ epicormic prunings, hedge cuttings and general wood waste (pallets, old tree stakes, etc).

Out of interest, what do you do with the contaminated shreddings? I.e. the stuff with all the nails in

Sorry, I mispelled it - Mascus. Its a bit of a mix of everything but decent stuff comes up.

Anything with nails/painted or treated goes off to landfill via skip still, the shredder is just really good as reducing it down. It must be 10 skips to 1 compared to loosely stacked/chucking it in!
