I found this compactor at my friends plant sales yard yesterday, I dont know very much about these machines?? Sure looked a big old beast though.

No doubt our friend IBH will be along with his encyclopediaic knowledge of all things plant & machinery to tell us more !!:mrgreen:

The Trashmaster compactors were built by CMI Rexworks who are now part of Terex and sold as Terex Trashmaster.
