Popular Post other dog Posted June 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 I went to a job site in Ohio a few weeks ago. I took a load of structural steel there, sat there all day waiting to get unloaded. I saw these big Mack trucks there. They would get loaded from these bulk tankers, looked like lime or cement, I don't know. then they would drive back and forth and make lots of dust. Then this huge green machine would drive back and forth, doing something or other, what, I don't know. I saw a girl in a car somewhere along the way. I saw a dog in a car too. But getting back to the jobsite, there was lots of equipment there, dozers, scrapers, rock trucks, water trucks... I saw a huge cow in Pa. And I saw a girl in a car somewhere along the way. And I saw some Kubotas. 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

alex g Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 When they built driveways for windmills near me they used same process with tankers and spreader trucks and that strange machine. I believe it creates some kind of a stronger base but they still spread a foot of stone over it.

tjc transport Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 my bet is the site has sulfuric acid contamination, and they are tilling lime into it to neutralize the acid.

HeavyGunner Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I saw a grey machine OD that looked identical (except in color) to the green machine you took pics of and it was grinding asphalt before they widened the highway. Maybe that machine is mixing/grinding that stuff being spread into the ground? Nice Kubota by the way. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Brocky Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Your green machine is actually one big A$$ rototiller!!! When the state rebuilt our road they spread about 6 inches of dry cement on top of the asphalt then rototilled it into the existing asphalt with a water truck attached to it.. then a second one followed it doing the same thing.. probably down to about 18 inches, followed by a heavy vibrating roller creating a new base for the roadway.

tjc transport Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 the difference between the green one and the white one is age. old were green, new are white.

I write the caption first- let me back up, I do this at home on the computer, not the phone, which I'm on now- let me back up some more, I'm on vacation this week and adult beverages are flowing freely- I select all the pictures that I'm going to use first, they are saved on my computer. So I write my caption, hit "enter" on the keyboard- that puts whatever you put next on the next lower line. Then I just click on whatever picture I want, and it's under the caption.

We went to the greatest antique truck show on Earth in Macungie, Pa, then to Connecticut to see the redhead's parents and some of her old friends, then on the way back we stopped in Bethlehem and looked around the old Bethlehem Steel site, then toured the Mack Museum before we made it home. It was fantastic. We saw this in Macungie- We saw this in Ct. She took me to this place up on that mountain when I met her in the early 80's. We saw this in Bethlehem. And this was at the Mack museum- 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
