Has anyone used a concrete crusher for a excavator? How well do they work on minis? Likes and dislikes? Features that you like about some? Negatives about some? I'm ignorant to them and am possibly looking for one but want to know if it's worth it or not. I have the work to substantiate it but don't know if I'd be better off buying a hammer.

If you have a mini get a hammer its not big enough for a crusher

If you're referring to the jaw style crushers/processors ,I have one and they work awesome. I have a LaBounty, by the way.

I have a 'jaw crusher' on one of our older 235's (90K machine weight) I would't recommend running that type of crusher on anything less that a 50K machine.
For excavators from 1.5 to 20 tons you can't go past http://baughans.co.uk/bucket-concrete-crushers
I have imported these to Australia and have used the 27 inch model myself on a small machine. I have put hundreds of tons through this machine much of it large lumps and a lot containing steel reinforcement. It may not be fast but it will get the job done at a very reasonable price and turn waste into usable material. The bucket crusher itself has few moving parts and little to wear out so maintenance costs are low and it's not hard on your machine.
