    Volvo / IR - MT2000

    No surprise as to what you described Turtle. We did have problems with the "ODS Sensors" located around the tracks with detecting too soon or going off at any old time. We have since, been calibrating each one and the problem seems to be resolved. As far as the conveyors, the discharge, and...

    Volvo/Ingersoll pavers, clutch problems

    Clutch issues Yes, the keyway problem has been taken care of. But be sure not to over grease the clutch grease poits as we have had people putting to much grease into the bearing and you know what happens then. Also, when checking your clutch torque, your suppose to check it right after...

    Volvo Rep? Well, I guess you could say that since they sign my checks. I worked for Ingersoll-Rand for 20yrs til Volvo bought us out. I really had my doubts about Volvo the first year they bought us, but the last year and ahalf, they are starting to impress me with their quality standards. I...

    Another lonely forum

    Yes, I have seen Volvo's(IR) new MT2000 mill. Very impressive. 3 drums speeds that runs direct from engine, so no changing drum drive pulley. Four different steering modes, so cul-de-sac's will not be a problem anymore. Very well designed machine, just like the old IR mills in the 90's.

    Volvo mt2000 I think I'd go with the new Volvo MT2000. After watching a demo, they remind me of the old Ingersoll-Rand mills made back in the early 90's. They have it all together on these 2meter drum mills. I believe they can go 18 in deep on a cut and their grade & slope system seems easy to...

    Cat or ingersollrand rollers

    CAT or IR? While CAT is probably the more favorite pick I personally think as far as poundin dirt, you just can't beat an IR(Volvo) roller. I will say IR has their problems with electrical bugs and sometimes swivel joints loosening up to fast. If your buying a used roller I would go with...

    Volvo / IR - MT2000

    I just recently attended a Volvo CST course on the new Volvo MT2000 Mill and I was thoroughly impressed with the unit. It was a mechanics course and being around heavy equipment for the past 20yrs, I'm gonna say they've really put their stamp on it. This unit was in the design phase for...
