The amount of power going through that thing must be immense, its just chewing up cylinder blocks like they are made of plastic!

It's production scrap disposal. Something between 500 and 800bhp driving the hydraulic motors on that thing.

Wouldn't like to fall in it, runs a bit too slowly! But at least the lumps would be big enough to get a fingerprint or two off...
