Next, load out truck with reclaimed asphalt. No water. asphalt before grinding is 10-13 inches deep, and deeper after grinding. Ol 350 can't go that deep.
Pic 1 10 or so degress

pic 2 just too deep. :Banghead

pic 3 There is trucks back there!

Pic 4 Hope the wind don't switch.:thumbdown

Nice Pictures Griz!

Those dudes go alot deeper than the Gorman Bros Cold-In-Place train I saw in the Adrondacks in 2007. On that Job I was with a Villager W1200F trimming the shoulder off cuz the PR1050 wasn't getting down into it enough without slowing it down to where they couldn't maintain a decent speed. That RX900 obviously has NO problems with power. Dayum, that sucker is cutting deep.

My Friend above Changexlt, dude, that thing is on such a sharp slope angle it looks like you might fall off it. Is it hard to hold straight in that cut material? I'm surprized that old thing has enough in the gear drive system to pull a heavy load like that off the ground. BTW, last friday I saw they put the 4ft drum back in that other 450. (or was it the same one?)

MD, (bet that sounds good don't it)
It holds where ever I point it. Not real worried about depth or straight, just loading trucks. I actually have too much power for loading this loose material no bogging down here. I'd assume they put it in the old 450. Still have the same one I started with now with that 6ft micro cutter. Hope to get through this job w/o changing teeth. Would make for 3 jobs w/o changing a single tooth.

Hey fellas, I'll try to get some more pictures of cold inplace, but it's going to take a little while, I have to leave in the morning for a job on the Canadian border till Friday, then I have to go to Bangor Maine and I'll be back late next week.

i wouldnt doubt it. there was 4 on one job here and i looked them up on google earth and they have a pretty good sized yard with lots of mills. there is always atleast one of there mills around here:D.one of there planers is sitting in western constructions yard being taken apart dont know what happened to it but the whole drum assembly was gone.

They have to pull the cutter out for transport due to weight restrictions as well as the drum being to wide to be on the transport. We always did the same with our 1200's and 1000's as we would run a 16 foot cutter on certain jobs.

Nice shots, not too many of those machines locally. Pioneer has a few, bought a gigantic cat last year. Often we see a company call roto mill in town from down south as they do the train thing. Truck with a tanker pulls the grinding machine, put it into another machine which does it thing then dumps it back into a spreader. After that a finish coat of pave goes on and done. It's an interesting setup.


Actually the mill does all of the pushing/pulling of the trucks, tankers, and crushers it is hooked to. :D:thumbsup

Lawrence Lynch in Falmouth MA just took delivery on their new RX400 Roadtec, it has a variable cutting system with a folding conveyor, Moba equipped.

Excellent pictures Griz, those things look like they are a great machine.

This is a W2000 at 7'2" with a C18. The other W2000 is 6'8" with a C15. That orange one looks like a factory paint job. Vogele orange like the rollers.

Yes sir mill drum, it's a very inpressive little machine with a 325 hp cat engine. Small size is ideal for city streets and tight places, you can do alot with it. drum sizes are available in 26" 36" 48" or 60" to cover most jobs. GRIZ

If i'm not mistaken Lawrence Lynch was awarded one of the city of Boston contracts for 2010 - i am curious if they plan on using this machine or subbing out the milling?
