I've got about 8m x 8m concrete pad to break up and I estimate it to be about 19t worth of concrete. I also need some hardcore to be put down for the new floor in the garage and to redo the patio as there doesn't appear to be any base under it.

I thought about getting in a crusher, the local place hires them for just over £100/day. It would save me some cost of disposal of the concrete and purchase of new hardcore (and manually shifting 19t of concrete the 50m to the front of the house for a grab truck). I'm sure I could probably offload the spare on gumtree or something.

Anybody used one? Worth the money? The hire place says the crushed output size can be set so could probably do different sized batches and mix it for the base.

I've just sent one back after two days - was a Red Rhino 4000.
Cheers.

It's a Red Rhino the hire place has got so that's good feedback for it.
Some pictures would be great.
