A75 Compost Turner

World’s. Largest. Turner. Period!

Maximum Capacity. Built to Last.

The BACKHUS® A75 is engineered for operations that demand the highest output and the toughest construction. Capable of handling windrows up to 24 feet 6 inches wide and 11 feet tall, the A75 is one of the largest windrow turners available anywhere.

At the heart of the machine is a 71-inch diameter drum with high-torque, armored drum tools that reach the full depth of the windrow on every pass, delivering thorough homogenization from top to bottom. The result is consistent, high-quality compost produced in fewer turns and less time.

Intelligent electronic control systems continuously monitor and adjust to compost conditions, maximizing throughput without requiring constant operator intervention. Detailed performance feedback keeps operators informed of every aspect of machine operation, making the A75 as easy to manage as it is powerful to run.
