  • Innovative Tumbleweed Removal - New Mexico LTAP - Video VH-359 - Prototype development of truck-mounted equipment for automated tumbleweed removal from highway shoulders and median fences is described. Based on the design of hay-balers, the equipment picks up the weeds and runs them through a chipper-shredder into the truck bed. A phone number is given for further information, but results of field testing are not reported.

      I also noticed the two men with ties were sporting 1970/80s hairdo & specs. However, many folks will stick with styles from their teen & young adult days. It's hilarious.

    I see a source of fuel, and - if you can believe it - plywood! A pickup enhancement would be to mount a blower near the pickup aperture. An air knife arrangement may work. A second chipper assembly further divides the material for better compaction, and helps eliminate blockage due to conduit crimp. The stuff can be used as road salt, fuel pellets, mulch (after suitable treatment to deactivate seeds), and mdf feedstock.

    Maybe you guys should give it to a company that knows what they're doing! No, you guys "work" on this design, showing us that you have NO idea what you're talking about. Without any experience, well, just forget it than! Yeah, sure, drive your truck next to a fence, and pick and chip your thumbleweed! Won't work at all! BTW, this machine exists already, it's being used to collect, chip, etc., in the biomass and things like hemp. That's pretty dumb..

      No one dare try to innovate or design anything new. That would be a bad thing. Let's push that off to someone else.
