That looks like Jerry F and the IBI W2100. There aren't many of those up there.

Theres a few pictures of that machine (if thats what it is) in the other "pictures too share" thread.

Great Pictures all the same. Thanks and have a safe season.

how many tons can you put into one of those side dumps?

 

[milling_drum]

I ran a load of sand in one at 98,000 lbs. Great trailers for milling in open areas.

 

[elimn8r475]

Way too much over legal. Had some coming in at what the truck driver said was 131,000 lbs. I've had 31 ton in a few bellies before too. They complained after one guy broke a spring.

RX-50B Stomping Wirtgen

Hi Dock,
I forgot to tell you that we rigged all our mills with Nitrous boosters

 

[roadtecrumbler]

Couple pics of last weeks hourly work, in casper, wy.
First end dump truck of the year, even came with a not so smart truck guider.
Taking the street deeper, so it can be reworked properly with a good mat, other milling company was breaking through at 1 3/4 inches. We took 3 3/4.
Taking Gravel and sandy subbase 8 inches total.

Ever seen a 30 ft averaging ski on a 450?

 

[Toegrinder]

Have I mentioned I absolutely HATE this machine? This happens on probably 3 out of 5 jobs we do with it. Had to bring out the crane, they have made quite a bit of money of this machine haha

 

[Toegrinder]

Running our 1200 and 2000 in tandem, the 2000 was milling a 7" concrete sidewalk...boooring.

 

[millinman]

What size is the valentine roadtec? The sticker looks like a Rx-1000?

 

[milling_drum]

ChangeX that averaging ski looks like it would suck if you tried to go to fast with but...I doubt thats possible with a 450 anyways hahahahaha

ToeGrinder why do they let that thing out of the yard? I'm sure it has some uses in certain applications with the right operator but dayum....they can't be making money with it having it pulled out once a month.

Dan Lamb looks cold on the 450, I haven't seen a day in close too two weeks it hasn't been in the 90s.

 

[Toegrinder]

Simple, ignorance. In the three years I have had it, it has been more of a hurt than it has a help. The track version would be awesome to have, but 9 tons per wheel with a contact patch of maybe three inches, is simply stupid and poor designing.
