We did a single #35 chain drive as well. At Pittsburgh we weren't terribly efficient at the landfill, but it seems to be that the hook profile has a lot to do with it. We had an active anti-sag kicker which wouldn't quite hit the tote in the same spot every time, knocking them off on occasion. No active intake though. We're debating on whether an active intake would even help, given the other obvious things we have to change with our hooks. Thing is, everything seemed 'fine' before bag day.

All around tough, but I'll share the results of our tuning.

Just make sure the tote is square to the frame before lifting. That will save several seconds per tote - being slow at first, but far more efficient than the totes falling off.
