1. A pavement recycling machine comprising:
a motorized vehicle to travel along a paved surface, the motorized vehicle having a direction of travel;
a bank of vertically oriented mill heads connected to the motorized vehicle to break up the paved surface to create loose aggregate, the mill heads having axes of rotation substantially perpendicular to the paved surface;
a controller to adjust various operational parameters of the pavement recycling machine, the operational parameters comprising at least one of the rotational speed and vertical height of the mill heads;
a remote control device in communication with the controller to enable at least one of remote adjustment and monitoring of the operational parameters; and
at least some of said heads are adapted for independent movement relative to each other.
