Remote control industrial mobile mulching machine
This mulcher makes an appearance at the Laidley dump every few months, presumably it does a circuit of SE Qld dumps, it processes the mountain of green waste that has accumulated since its last visit.
Its an impressive beast, about 12m long, powered by a massive V8 diesel, hydraulic motors everywhere. There is no drivers cab or seat, a hand held remote control does everything, start/stop the engine, move backwards/forwards/left/right, start/stop mulching.

Those things are a nightmare to work on. One of our customers has a smaller one with a slightly different layout, and everyone in the workshop hates working on it. zero thought went into maintenance when it was designed. We also work on a few other brands of American made chipping and mulching equipment, and it all designed to keep fitters in jobs.

If the engineers who designed a lot of the machinery had to work on them, they'd be a totally different machine. Like the clowns that design cars, some you need to virtually dismantle to replace a $10.00 part.

Hi Bob Ward,
It is fun to watch them but I like the car squasher better!
