May not be a common thing in some parts, but SCDOT is still useing them around here. ...............I know I know they still have to pipe sunshine in here also.lol
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.
Lately there has been a spec for buggies with mixing augers as well.
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.
