Athey Force Feed Loader.

[bean]

We used one with conveyor that swiveled at the back for picking up a asphalt windrow it was slower then a BG-650 or Cedarapids MS-1 but it served its purpose for a while. Ours was a diesel.

Well Tom and I found a good used Althey 7-11 unit and picked it up. If anyone knows of one of these sitting around for sale or parts please let us know. Honestly really only looking for the left and right side augers and the moldboard for the stockpile loading vs the wings shown on the one in the first pict. These are great little machines just need some TLC most times. Thanks Jerre

sorry, but the roadtec shuttle buggy dose not HEAT the mix, you have to dump the first couple of loads in slow so not plug up the machine

Yeah this is a super old post I know, but some models do. They are essential to maintain consistency in a colder climates.

There is no way to re-heat the existing already hot asphalt (approx. 300 deg.). It may be that later units used heatstrips under the floor of the drag slat to warm it up, but that would only be to prevent material from sticking to the cold floor of the drag, but I am not sure that's even true.

Around here they are called windrow loaders and the counties used to love them. About the only ones left are in eastern Washington. I don't know why.

The machines that work asphalt around here are called shuttle buggies. The ones I've seen have a hopper and basically are used on large government jobs. Lately there has been a spec for buggies with mixing augers as well. I've seen one.

I hate asphalt almost as much as I hate highway trucks so I never look real close at these.

where can i buy a new set of chains and paddles for my Athey Loader?

Lately there has been a spec for buggies with mixing augers as well.

All Roadtec Shuttle Buggies have a mixing auger set up inside the Shuttlebuggy transfer hopper...since the days of the first units built by Barber Greene (subsequently acquired by astec/roadtec circa 1988). The spec for a re-mixing auger in the paver hopper was for the MTV units from Blaw Knox and Cedarapids...(now Bomag) as they do not have any on board mixing capabilities in the transfer units.

PS...anybody got a good Athey 712 for sale? Must have the swivel conveyor set up...less than 2000 hours

Here in the colder states, they have a machine that heats, mixes, and stores asphalt, has a minimum height requirement, and can be moved to access a load of ashpahlt from a truck. It then feeds the paver, then gets get another load.

This might be the after thought of your machine! Not to diss your equipment, but asphalt in colder weather would end up a blob on the highway without maintaining its heat

Actually windrowing hot mix asphalt is a common practice in the west and midwest on hot summer days. Even the Shuttlebuggies (which do NOT have on board heat) have a windrow pick up head as an option.

I'm looking to purchase an Athey force feeder, preferably a side cab 7-110 or center cab 7-12.

I'm planning to take off the paddles from the front and build a hopper to be used as a stacker for a small topsoil screening plant. I'm looking for an inexpensive one as it will be a trial, and I'm hopeful it will work as intended.

Please text me pictures, location, price, and contact info. Call 906-440-2521
Thank you, Bruce

I know of one base on a ford tractor that is fairly cheap if you maybe interested

Athey.... that name gives me shivers from running and working on the street sweepers

 

[mowingman]

There are quite a few for sale on Machinery Trader. However, they don't seem to be cheap.
