EVERYBODY knows boys love their toys.
And no one loves their toys more than Collin Cooke, 62.
He’s just finished putting together a 52-tonne stump grinder which he plans to send to Africa.
He built the monster machine at his factory Bucketmouth in Bald Hill Road, Pakenham.
The $200 million stump grinder is his second to be sent to Africa – and he said this machine is one of a kind.
“There is nothing else on the planet like it,” he said.
