pictures to share #2

That was a PR750B? anybody know?

or it could be that I never even paid enough attention to notice if there was a B on the two 750's I ran for years haha. I'll have to look back through my pics.

Up load your pics when you get a minute.

Brutal looking things the old rear loaders are...

 

[Toegrinder]

I will but I need to have them scanned first, back before my dig cam days haha. They were definitely beasts, felt on top of the world

4ft

Unfortunatly...I couldn't stand much of this.

Hey milling drum, in the couple of pics of the Donegal CMI and the Wirtgen, where did you get the pics from? Not too far from my house is why I ask, was/is a large rehab project along our waterfront

 

[milling_drum]

Ya man, those are from the Route 5 job Union Concrete is doing.

Donegal seemed to be helping them out since they couldn't have two machines running in different locations on that job.

Also, in the pictures to share thread 1, you will see a busted manhole from Orchard Park Rd, the pictured Wirtgen did that one

Millers Pr1000 and recycling train in Ontario. I like the added water tank.

Excellent Pictures Bean, Thanks.

That Old Roadtec thing belonged to a company called MSO?

Over at Facebook some of the dudes from the French version of Miller have a pretty good group going on, I may have posted some of their pictures in the older thread, they run a PR1050 as a mill for the Midland Mixer they use.

MSO used to own them but split up and Seeley Arnill took the recycling years ago MSO took the chip seal and micro surfacing. MSO USA (owned by seeley) used them in michigan and a few other states but not for a couple of years now. MSO in canada is now owned by miller.

The RX120 the bigger of the has been parked for the last year.
The RX110 is still running and is getting major work done to it this winter.

I noticed on the french miller train they have no crusher or screendeck but they have a drum that must produce some fine material. I'm pretty sure the specs in quebec allow them to get away with that.

Or something like that.

The operator tells it that they won't allow him to run any faster than 20 ft per min...ouch.

They posted a pic of the drum, its the Wirtgen one that has tight spacing, not the fine lace spacing like a concrete drum but looks like one.

Seems like Miller has a stranglehold on an awful lot up there now, when I was up there working for them in Ontario they had just started taking over companies....EC King/Smith Construction and so on....back then they only had a PR450/Ingersoll 2200/Wirtgen DC2100 was new that year and they had two PR1000s with cold paving trains.

Now the amount of milling equipment they own is literally staggering. (between all the divisions)

Guess it's time to dig into my pics finally

Pic 1- Waiting for traffic control and the contracor on I-70 in Glenwood canyon outside Glenwood Springs, CO

Pic 2- W1200 on wheels...9.5 tons per wheel...whoever designed that machine needs to be shot

Pic 3- Pr-800-7 with an 8.5 foot cutter just outside Phoenix with Arizona Pavement Profiling

Pic 4- Same 800

Pic 5- Running an RS650 on the same job outside of Phoenix

Lost the gears in the pump splitter gearbox on the highway at 3 am in Durango, Co, thus lost all hydraulics except travel. Used a 980 loader to pick up the ass end out of the cut and got it off the highway. The transport company we use also has a crane division and brought out their 120 ton crane to set it on the transport, made that 2000 look like a little die cast model...unreal.

Pic 1- Same job in Durango before the breakdown

Pic 2- Telluride, Co

Pic 3- One of our transports

I have plenty more pics, including some that might not be allowed to be posted since they are too graphic...basically that aftermath of what the cutter can do to your foot :Banghead: :cussing:
