Re: cooke bros engineering
The only experiences ive had with crushers was at our crushing yard when i was on a PC180LC-7 to load our Brand New XR400.
Im very impressed wit them actually amazing to work around but boring as hell to load 6 days a week 9 hours a day

Done a bit on a terex pegson,
was a 40'ish tonner, kept getting rebar jammed in the belts all the time, and we had to keep getting in under the jaws to free the rebar, not a fan of enclosed spaces espes when half full jaws are bouncing above your head,
it went through a few vbelts in 2 weeks then bust 2 clutch rods? (the rod with pipe coupling, slots in middle of vbelt pulley)
it sheared the pipe coupling off the rod, although i pointed it out to my foreman that it had sheared off a second engine mounting bolt and was bouncing around therefore shearing the clutch coupling,
I was suposed to be on the loader but kept mucking in on the crusher,
