The TumbleGator
The production ready prototype TumbleGator is the only known machine of its kind. It is capable of efficiently processing both fresh and dry tumbleweeds and other similarly structured brush. The resulting material, including seeds, is captured in an enclosed hopper rather than dispersed to propagate next year.
Tumbleweeds may be fed into the front hopper when the machine is stationary or in motion. The 5.6 yard hopper can handle up to of 2,500 pounds of tumbleweeds. The hopper can be easily emptied into a trailer via hydraulic rams in a few minutes.
The TumbleGator is ideal for use on service roads next to train tracks, canal banks, or sumps. Its efficient processing allows for extended remote operation.
