Thats at the cutoff into Hot Springs, South Dakota. Hwy 79 and 18. That range in the background is the beginning of the Black Hills.

The Minnesota Highway 219 and the Thief River Falls signs in the earler pictures has to be near Goodridge as 219 is only about 15 miles long. Sure looks like home to me!!!

great pics everyone. sure is strange to see how profilers are hauled in different areas. here the conveyor is always hanging off the back of the lowboy versus torwards the cab :beatsme

 

[Buster F]

The only time we load our machines with the conveyor facing out over the cab is if we are going to be working in an area where it's not possible to turn it around (such as a live interstate). We have in the past run into height issues using this method (not to mention a few damaged exhaust stacks)

loading

In many cases theres a clearance issue. Some machines won't make it onto some trailer decks with the boom off the back, CAT/older Roadtec's have a conveyor support for the upper conveyor that runs across the lower front end of the frame. Depending on the trailer, you can only load them with the boom in a certain direction. Also are the add on's, some folks are bolting tool boxes on that reduce clearance too.

Somebody didn't like the camera too well.

 

[milling_drum]

Dude, at least they had the machine set down fairly level for a change...

I don't think I'll be hauling or operating that stuff, anymore. Or I hope not.

2100 collision

But we know if I'm around IBI for an extended period of time, I'll have a few wonderful 450 days...

On Northern Improvements job at the end today...both machines are still in the cut, on the right shoulder facing each other.

Idaho Falls

Over in HK contracting's yard, a Valentine machine.

 

[oakland]

wow you move around alot milling_drum atleast your busy though that is good to see. here are a few pictures from my area, same machine two different projects.

 

[milling_drum]

The old rear loaders are nice to look at, but to run them is an entirely different story...even when you know what your doing.

The Western machine has hydraulic endgates, that thing did not leave the factory like that...nice modification.

OLD sucker

This is currently sitting in Northern Improvements yard in Bismarck, ND. They tell me they ran it a few weeks ago on a county rd job. They also tell me they run a bigger model Barber Greene RX75. I'm dying to get a look at that old thing too.

We should have started an "old Iron" thread here in the mills section.
