Always nice to see a new truck in action, rarely seem to see them working in mint condition. Sort of find the new quieter ones appealing these days, no revs during bin lift either, kinda like a Richards truck, very peaceful and stealthy. Enjoyed the hiss of the hydraulics as the lifter lowers =] Good capture mate, an easy watch. I saw your reference about me in your description too haha
AussieGarbo Thanks Mitch! Yeah haha had to do the reference, the driver used to do auto revs when he was in the old MkIV Recycler. Thanks for your comment! :)
Nice work, I'm a bit surprised it's not a Gen6 given they arrived in Brisbane back in April/May. Looks nice and sharp though, shame the auto rev isn't turned on, just hard to watch an MJ that doesn't rev, interesting the got the old style Amber rotating beacons where everyone else is going for the LED beacons, a bit unique, they are super bright on the dark winter mornings. The extend-a-slide is a nice option, seems council fleets go for it where as the contracted collection companies don't. The new grabbers are very nice, certainly help with close bins.
macdonaldjohnstonfan Thanks, this truck came a bit after the Brisbane Gen6s, and yea Banyule will probably always go for the old style beacons they look stunning whilst operating in the early morning darkness. Extend-A-Slide is very common for councils only a few contractors that I know of use it, every new bucher GenV comes with the ‘UG6 new grabbers I’m pretty sure and yea this truck never auto revs, thanks for your comment! :)

Must be a partial Gen6 because it sounds like one and has the New touch screen console? Maybe the old box is available on request or something?
jatho4 I thought that too
Do you live in Greensborough banyule?
Cool truck
Nice
