Great footage and Also Merry Christmas to You mate. I Filmed BSG603 Driver Mark 2 Weeks ago doing Recycling in Algester I got BSG602 doing my Green Waste at my area. But i havent Seen BSG606 Before but today in this vid so pretty good video. can tell the Iveco acco fuel tanks are smaller then the old Accos with the Big Fuel tank but its not to bad at least its still an Iveco Acco.

Cheers mate, yeah Mark told me he had you getting some videos of him. 606 may do a different area to around you so probably why you haven't seen him around your place. These fuel tanks aren't the standard 300L tanks that are normally put on Acco's, these are the agitator spec fuel tanks which are pretty narrow to fit on the super short wheel base twin steer concrete trucks. Not sure why Suez put them on all the trucks as its only the waste trucks that don't have much space.

Have you managed to locate where the single-pass trucks operate?

[@macdonaldjohnstonfan]

Sure did, found out where they run and they only really work on Monday's and Friday's.

[@logangarbo]

Nice vid mate, how many new greens trucks are there in the new contract?

[@macdonaldjohnstonfan]

They have the same number of greens trucks that they had in the old contract, so I'd say between 12 to 15 given I'm not 100% sure on the Nudgee yard numbers.

[@MegaDirtyHands]

The issues they're having are standard issues with bucher being overly sensitive about the setting brand new, looks like the lifter needs to be about 0.4 of a second quicker each way, and the pesky damper at the top of the lifter needs to be dialed back 50%.

[@macdonaldjohnstonfan]

It would be a combination of Bucher and Suez I'd say about being a bit cautious with the settings, in the old contract they did the same, sucks as they're not as quick to run and watch but at the end of 8 years the GenV's really ran quite well. Definitely could have the arm sped up a little and the damper dialled way back as you mentioned, both the drivers told me it doesn't allow a good strong dump when the arm reaches the hopper which is beneficial with greens, they have to muck around trying to shake then bin and not spill crap everywhere. All the drivers liked their old trucks more because they weren't as sensitive, even the older 2015 Bucher they bought that the driver of BSG603 used to drive ran really well for a newer truck.
