Congrats on finding one of these scarce front loaders - I bet they're hell hard to catch for anyone these days! I don't believe I have seen a NorCal FL on video before, and it does look very nice... particularly as a Leach :D Also what's with the area looking so dead and quiet, unless it was still early in the morning? Great footage!!!
@MitchellM15 Thank you sir! Scott filmed a Norcal FL. I was happy to find the millenium, i was looking for the split multitask sl! It was about 7:30 a.m., nobody was out quite yet.
haha im still in a what the hell moment lol we have many WM Leach FLs here but they look nothing like this one. nice catch and this beast is fast as fuck!
@r6man2 He's correct. Recology likes to add follower panels to their FL packers. It helps minimize the material spillage over the blade and comes in handy if you're emptying an oerloaded container into a full hopper. I don't find it odd to have it come out from under the cab cover, however I find it odd that the new Heils have it protrude from over the cab cover. :D
Those 2 yarders are a nice snack for this big boy. :D
I love these Leach FL's, too bad there aren't many left except for the ones in Recology SF's fleet xD. Those new and older Heil's just aren't doing it for me.
dude that is not a leach it is labries latest fl model cheak it out at clasic refuse trucks.com

NICE!! These are totally rare...glad you could get one, I'll bet it's a mid-late '90s model. Great footage, never knew they had follower packers!

Is that part of the packer/ejector blade sticking out from under the cab cover?!, if so that is rather odd.

Cool find! 1st time I've seen one in action. And judging by that tag axle...I bet it packs a good load!

@mcbombtings Thanks! Yes it does, the guy said he starts around 4 and this was at 8:00, and he probably gets done at 10 so yeah, a good load
