2014 BACKHUS 21.55

A new Cummins engine and recent Ecoverse.

Who This Machine Is For

• Municipal compost facilities — low frame hours and a history of municipal use.
• Commercial compost producers — handles large windrows in space-efficient rows.
• Yard-waste operations — hydraulic drum control helps mix and aerate dense material.
• Agricultural compost sites — suitable for properly prepared manure and organic blends.

Pair this turner with trommel screens for final sizing and conveyors for moving finished compost.

What It Turns

• Yard and green waste — mixes leaves, grass, and processed woody material.
• Food-waste blends — combines prepared food waste with carbon-rich bulking material.
• Manure and biosolids blends — aerates properly mixed compost windrows.
• Curing compost — remixes material to support even processing.

Specs in Plain Language

The original engine was replaced with a new six-cylinder Cummins turbo diesel. Factory literature rates the 21.55 for windrows up to 18.1 feet wide and 8.2 feet high. The hydraulic drum runs at 200 RPM, starts while inside the pile, and raises or lowers independently. Recent work includes new hydraulic lines, filters, tires, drum tools, and Ecoverse service; drum-tool life varies with material and operating conditions.

The custom water connection permits spraying during turning. A hose reel is available at additional cost. The cab provides a full-view design, air conditioning, and a Bluetooth stereo.
