The proving grounds
Following these improvements , we tested the E35m at the Millbrook
Proving Ground in England , one of the world ’ s most challenging test track environments . The new and improved E35m didn ’ t just pass –– it held up to all Millbrook could offer .

This solidified the E35m ’ s reputation as The Bulldozer of Sweepers and validated the improvements Bucher has been working so hard to implement . And most importantly , the folks at Bucher will know whether or not their customers agree .
