Slashbuster DM HD 480B

[Allen Taylor]

Have a slashbuster dm hd 480b that I'm thinking about selling but having hard time coming up with price since there aren't many for sale online. Only thing I know it needs is a set of teeth. Any help would be appreciated.

Those were built about 8 miles from me. They don't do much at their shop anymore and I don't think they're building any new units at all.

What does it weigh?

What does it weigh?

I'd guess 5000-6000#

 

[John C.]

That's probably a good price to start with.

What does that do?

 

[John C.]

It's a disk mulcher. It busts up everything and throws it 300 feet into anything that has any value at all.

Think feller buncher gone wild.

Are those teeth industry standard or specific to the OEM ?
Looks like EBAY is the place to list this machine.

D&M Slashbuster, I haven't checked their website lately but they had some pretty impressive videos several years ago. Asplundh Tree service used to run some for power line maintenance, the biggest problem I saw was keeping the carrier engine/hydraulics cool. They did not run an auxiliary power plant, ran everything off the excavator hydraulics with no additional cooling added.

I would have never dreamed of using the thrash-a-matic for House & car demo ....
