    Please Meet My M312

    Our motto is "Have Hoe....Will Travel." Would love to have the work if you need the help someday! Do love the thumb. Will be ready for the next ice storm for sure. Have not weighed it yet. Somewhere between 35 and 38000 pounds I'd guess. I'll have an answer next time I borrow a lowboy to...

    Thanks guys. She got the "ugly" from when I bought her. Previous owner had taken this perfect 312 and modified it to ride on top of rail cars unloading track plates, ties, etc. When we found her she had no outriggers, no blade, no bucket or bucket cylinder, four tires and wheels removed and...

    Superscreed on bridge approaches

    A few thoughts on bridge deck paving.... We used to run a similar machine (Gomaco C-450) on bridge deck overlays. We would pour about 4 inches thick by 12 to 15 feet wide. When things were going decent we could pump out one eight yard load in 10 minutes. I would think when pouring a full...

    the best rototilt manufacturer

    Helac doesn't have a rotator. Best they got would be a grab bucket that tilts. :mad:

    Tiltrotators and Today's Marketplace

    Welcome to the forum, Goebbels! :usa Thanks for the picture. That is really impressive. Do you have to be careful when using a machine with that much power or does the tiltrotator have the strength to take the strain?

    Highway Grinders

    Thanks, Bill. Sure would appreciate some pictures of any of that work if you get the time. :notworthy LCW is probably the biggest precaster in the Southern Tier. They make their own concrete,too. Back when I worked for them, they made their own asphalt, too. Think they sold their plant...

    Highway Grinders

    Joint Failure :mad: Ah yes..... The noise issue. Asphalt advocates (mainly those that sell it and supply their aggregates) claim that concrete roads generate more noise pollution than asphalt......:throwup Perhaps this is true. Of course, those in the concrete pavement industry...

    Highway Grinders

    Aggregate Lock Jerry: Thanks for your input. Would like to see what you've described about the waves in the pavement. :confused: I know there was a school of thought once upon a time that large sized aggregates would take the place of reinforcing. At the joints, load was to be...
