@mikey380sx As far as I know these engines tend to last the life of the truck... just built for the tough and constant use associated with the work. Eventually if the engine goes through an extreme amount of k's, there might be the need for some refurbishment of certain parts, but otherwise they keep roaring :P
Great work Mitch!! The Richards trucks are ceratainly nice to see video's of because you don't see many of them around. Even though the truck has a shallow hopper, it still keeps up.
Great post, love how the arm raises slowly as it's retracting, and once it's retracted fully it raises quickly! I guess it's that split power, some of the hydraulic fluid has to go to retracting and some to raising...just makes it look cool :D I agree with AussieGarbo, can't ever get bored of these!!
Great Job! the thing with Richards Compactor ASL trucks, you never get bored watching em :D one bin there, the stuff didnt even want to come out, but hey what can ya do :D haha

Well no one can disagree with you... the Baulkham Hills name was still visible on the rear-side of the truck.

Real nice Mitch - again !!
Very common paint scheme, looks to almost be identical body to ours, but the rear door is deeper.
Can't make out the fleet number, I'm guessing between 01 & 03 model.
Thanks - great job.
