Palm tree fronds are a nemesis for any shredder.

Lot of good that did… no hammer replacement??

I had an older model of the K33 variant; this approach is completely different than on that unit. Mine had Allen screws accessed after removing the feed tube. Needed the right tools to remove and replace (I borrowed the Allen socket and torque wrench from my neighbor) and, while I was not without a stern curse or two, it seems a lot easier than lifting the 14.5 ft-lb Briggs engine that was on mine. In fact, access to the shredder blades required removal of the top bin and the back cover, while leaving all moving parts in normal position. Pretty simple to change out J-lugs and triangle blades at that point, but it was still a two hour job. I was thinking about buying another of these, but -- after six shoulder surgeries -- I'll go with something a bit more maintenance friendly. This is insane!
Going to see what the 'All American' model has to offer in making up for the mere two year (versus 5 years here) warranty.

I have the older model, too! It must be great to only work on factory-new machines! This video is totally useless to me!
