One thing I hate is when I get a good guy on green waste or recycle and they want a bin moved but it is way to heavy for me and the truck. E.g. a yellow bin full of bricks or pavers a green bin that has a solid block of grass clippings in it that seems like uts 100 cuts of there tiny lawn.
Mad stuff, was wondering or not if you were gonna do one of these cause on a couple of posts I was reading you kinda had some failed attempts on recording yourself. I heard that 07 Acco at 0:29 ;) Seems like you really got the hang of the Sidepak operations petty fast, loved the Sidepak grabs at 9:08 going all over the place and deffs something I love about the sidepaks. Must say though shields on the Sidepaks just seem pointless and isn't my cup of tea. Was obviously a SPAK added on feature as I don't recall seeing any actual CS Sidepaks featuring the shield. Noticed the buzzer going off in the packing shot which led to you manual packing, was waiting though for a clear hopper but nahhhh. FUCK YOU RED LID at 13:30 ahaah but the big fella packed those full bins no worries :P Loved the mirror shot aye, watching those grabs scooping up the bins was so satisfying. A fully white arm with no shield would of looked old school but other than that - Awesome stuff, will deffs go in the favs
Had to do one of these videos for this truck, good for memories in future... started catching clips in April and got the last stuff just before I left in November, did have a shit time getting what I wanted, just glad it's done now! haha I knew you'd hear that other truck in the first clip, thought it'd be a good background extra to include ;) I wanted to capture the floppy grabber action and that's exactly why I got that 9:08 shot, couple of close bins to show the pull-away-loose-wiggle characteristic of the grabs - was awesome in dead enders, absolutely shit house on hills. I was hoping to get some clear shots of the paddle in the hopper camera, but I had an absolute bitch of a time getting what I wanted there and that was the best I managed. Did deliberately aim for the "getting full" stage so we can hear the buzzer and see the stalling, that was always a fun/challenging time on the first loads =] I used to knock that red bin over week after week for a while, would drive up to it, empty the bins, forget and keep driving forward haha Be nice if the garbo put it up on the kerb outta the way :/ She chewed away at some bulky bin lifts this truck, I did get it bridged a lot too, plenty of scooping action going on out at Hornsby and yeh was considering painting the lifter earlier on, but never happened. Thanks for dropping a line, nice to read one worthwhile comment!
That's a tricky question for me to answer, haven't really got a favourite, maybe mesh their good aspects together and then I'll have a #1 pick :D I love the low profile bin lifts on the Sidepak, pendulum packer on the Raptor, simplicity of the Richards controls, smooth hydraulic operations on an MJ. I'd need to have a go at a brand new 2018 version of each and maybe then I could decide! I do like the Richards trucks, the short/slow slide reach sucks where I work, but otherwise the lifter functions smooth and swift, very strong build too, can lift anything it seems, paddle speed is fine, easy for a bulky load to jam it but, idle operation is a lot softer for the truck, love the basic control system.
Brings back memories of 015 in Kingston, bloody brilliant machines the compactions. aside from a couple of minor design changes they're better then the rest hands down.
Ah the unmistakable sound of oh shit I forgot to put my bin out.
13:41 Shit that’s a lot of organics!
5:15 you just let the steering wheel do all the work ;)
Cool Bin Lorry:)
...if you look to broaden your horizont look into working for City of Campbelltown (SUEZ)!!!

good to see Mitch picked up all green waste bins and dumped them into vegetation recycling

Now that you have experience operating all 4 of the body brands which one in your opinion is the best, how do the richards bodies go ?
