    Teeth

    In a review of Forum guidelines and for the fact it has slowed down considerably around here, its worth pointing out a process that has been used on crusher blow bars, hammers and Vib plates has been successfully used on mill teeth. If you are interested in reducing the amount of teeth your...

    Rear Steer options

    Not sure if anyone knows how important knowing where the rear end of the machine is when cutting but, it is. Quite often the calibration slips out and its necessary to either run without using the automatic. Automatic steer mode coordinates the rear tracks with the front, according to how the...

    Reclamation

    This WR2400 had 49 hours on it this morning when it was delivered. This is a Flyash job in southern Nebraska. A PR1050 runs ahead of the two reclaimers at a depth of 6 inches, leaving the material in place. The Distributor trucks spread the flyash and the reclaimers mix it.

    Oil In the Gulf

    The oil leak in the gulf reminds us how dependent we all are on oil and its byproducts. What concerns me the most about it is how clued out the mainstream public is about the issues. Nobody is asking the serious questions, its like people don't really care. The losses in that region will...

    Greasy Water thoughts

    High speed grease isn't a good idea on leg barrels/steering fittings/Conveyor swing fittings because the wear application differs quite a bit. Using high speed grease, I constantly see the leg barrel needs grease but has this ring of worn grease stuck to the body(slide)of the machine which is no...

    Snow Plowing

    Hello Grader People, Years back I plowed snow for the City of Toronto for a private contractor. I got plenty of experience plowing with a CAT 140G and Champion 780. Both Had wing attachments on them. These days I live in America and find that more often they use truck plows then Graders...

    Favorite Mills

    Just thought I'd put it out there what everyone's favorite mill is and why. Being that I'm a little strange to most people, I do not have a favorite mill. I've run pretty much all of them at one time or another. The only ones I have not are Dynapac, Bomag, and the assorted mill head...

    Set down

    If anybody in milling is around here I'd like some opinions about setting a mill down level at the end of the day. For one, you get a good fluid levels check the next morning. (or night) For two, theres the possibility of a leg barrel giving in and the mill tipping over. I was taught to...
