The machine, operated by http://www.tarmac.co.uk/products_and_services/contracting/road_planing.aspx , has just finished planing about 30mm off the top of Hensting Lane (foreground right) in preparation for the laying of 45 mm of tarmac. The machine is made by Wirtgen and is possibly a W2100 or W2200 model. It has four independently-operated tracks, the height of each being hydraulically adjustable.
