Thread: Genesis Attachments

Looking into a Genesis LXP 300 for our 80,000 lb excavators.. Does anyone have experience with these rotating processors? Why or why not the Genesis in lieu of LaBounty or others?

We are looking into possibly getting shears and concrete pulverizer jaw sets. The video shows 15-20 minute change out time which seams pretty neat.

Thanks for any insight.

Get your check book ready, lol.

I agree it's a wonder to watch an experienced operator run one of these things.

Both Genesis and Labounty have a good reputation. I throw in Kinshofer as a 3rd alternative with maybe the best multiprocessor. There are more out there but many are rebranded or made by others, whereas these 3 build and support them themselves.

Genesis and Labounty seem about the same in price and technology - the difference could be support each offers in your area. Their multiprocessors seem heavy but that's not a big deal most times.

The Kinshofer is proven, much more established in Europe (Demarec is their brand there) and priced aggressively in the US especially the jaws. Some clever technology makes them lighter but still powerful and protected, important on a high reach.

And the jaw changeout seems easier. On a Genesis or Labounty you set the jaw on a cradle or a concrete barrier to change it - with Kinshofer you set it on the ground, unscrew one bolt with a handtool, swap jaw off the ground and redo the bolt without an issue. Using a cradle is no big issue if you plan ahead . . . but that doesn't always happen.

It would have it that Genesis and la bounty both are getting into the third member market. Europe has had multi processors in the market for years. We have been selling them in the USA for several years now. All of our customers have had great sucsess with them.The interchangeable jaws take 10-20 minutes.

service and support is the key for big dollar attachments ! it;s been my experince that when i call both genesis and labounty and buy the time labounty returns my call < days later at times > i have had 2 or 3 conversations with genesis and parts on the way!!!

Hey Rich:

What kind of demo you got going on this summer? Any cool jobs? Would love to take some photos if you got anything interesting going on down your way.

Thanks, man. Take it easy.

Genesis is good but labounty is the best especially the shears... You cant beat their shears or grapples......

I have 3 Genesis LXP300 in my rental fleet (2 on 330 linkbelt, 1 on a SK350 or our SK485 high reach) and we are putting a GXP200 in on a LinkBelt 210 3rd member shortly.


We have very little problem with them cutting steel or concrete. What are you using it for, steel, concrete, both?
