Shredding Small Trees to Create Mulch for Erosion Control

Wastepro 460HZX with Conveyor Belt—The Wastepro 460HZX (figures 4 and 5) is remote controlled with an 800-horsepower horizontal grinder. Although this machine normally is mounted on wheels, Rawlings Manufacturing, Inc., of Missoula, MT, is modifying their machine so it can be mounted on tracks. The method of operation would resemble that described for the Bandit 3680.
