# Any optional anti-splatter guards?
Otherwise you'll get zombie-cootie-infected blood all over that cab. Not good when you have to leave the vehicle.

# make sure it has decent wipers and high pressure washers, don't want to go blood blind half way through a crowd

# I could add some guards above the flails.
The flails were contra rotating, so they would throw most of the bits behind and to the side. I might e-mail this to JCB and see what they think.

# I think you'll find those wheels will soon get stuck on piles of body-parts
A better design would be with caterpillar tracks. I am an expert on these sorts of things, here's my credentials.

# I wasn't sure if tracks would be be manouverable in a town, but I get your point
It wouldn't need to move that fast (or even at all if you could just sit at the end of a street and lure them in). You might want a turn of speed at the end of your shift if you wanted to get away though.

# "end of your shift"
ha ha, brilliant.

# This is just a prototype.
Since I made it, I've been thinking the plough needs to be steeper and it would probably need anti-climb paint. Possibly an escape vehicle on the back for the driver should he or she become overwhelmed. Some powerful lights wouldn't go amiss either.

I think it would need a support team and like you say a disinfectant gate to drive through after use.

flame-throwers are what you need.

# Bit wasteful of resources - post-apocalypse you'll have limited fuel access
Unless you have a thorium reactor or something from which you can vent superheated gases.

# Yes, yes indeed.
That's exactly what I've got. A thorium reactor in my pocket. Here. See?

# That's not a reactor
Pervert.

# Could zombies be used as fuel?
That would be a nice sustainable solution

# And external speakers
Something to lure in the zombies if the engine isn't loud enough.
Would a converted bin lorry work too? Something to shovel up and squish the zombies, saves having to clear away the chopped remains.

# Powerfull LED wash lights
and discharge lamped head lights would be a good addition.

The LED's draw very little power so increasing fuel economy and the
discharge lamps (say 575w to 1200w) will add some nice UV burn.

Very woo machine though!
