Maple.JPG I try to stay away from them...reminds me of picking rocks for my Father!Ok Tim, time for an education. Attached Wirtgen is what I call a reclaimer. True? I assume this is just a more expensive "purpose built" unit vs the Cat in your picture that looks like it has "loader components"?? This unit belongs to Lazaro Paving, Shirley MA Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37355-reclaimers/#findComment-263090 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are all go when they are running! That Wirtgen in you post looks pretty mean! I myself enjoy milling much better Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37355-reclaimers/#findComment-263123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself enjoy milling much betterIMG_0185.JPGJust to make you feel at home, a shot of Rick's milling machines. As for the reclaimer, I don't think there are many outfits that use a machine of this size on residential work but they do. One of my kids has a house that is one of 4 on a common drive- probably about 500/600 feet long. He and his three neighbors agreed on need for a repaving job and most bidders were going to rip up old asphalt and replace base with new asphalt-old school. Lazaro brought in that reclaimer and eliminated the off site trucking. Most cost effective bid. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37355-reclaimers/#findComment-263143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I am not a construction equipment man. You guys have some interesting names for some of your equipment! I have always thought of these as a big a$$ed roto-tiller used for mixing the dry cement into a base layer.. What else are you able to use this type of machine for???
