FAQ

How much does a machine cost?
Please call for pricing.
How do I get financing?
Contact your local bank for financing options.
How do I get the machine from you to me?
Once your order is placed and your machine is ready, local pickup is free or we can coordinate shipping for additional costs.
Can I see the machine in person?
We are located in Western Washington and can meet potential customers if interested in demonstrations.
How much does it weigh?
Approximately 2500 pounds. Once operating and pulling rock, the deadweight of the machine plus material is much more.
Can you crown a road?
A slight crown can be made with a skilled operator. Generally speaking, there is not a crown function on the machine, other than the angled blades. The machine tips front and back but not east and west.
Can you pull the shoulder rock from a road? Yes, angled blades in the front of the machine put the rock back into the roadway for use.
How long do roads last after this machine goes over them?
This will depend on volume of traffic, traffic speed, type of vehicles, weather, road material inclines in road and operator skills. Compaction and ideal material help with road repair longevity. Remember, heavy garbage trucks and blazing delivery trucks, ensure job security! This is a maintenance machine, not a fix all.
Is it just a one time pass through?
No. There are different techniques an operator can use but it takes more than a single pass. The worse shape the road is in, the more work the road will take.
Can it do every gravel road?
No. If large (base rocks) are showing through, it is best to advise client to add rock to their road. Attempting a road that has large base rocks showing will likely chip those large rocks to the top of the surface and could damage the integrity of the road.
Will this work on dirt or sand?
No. Generally speaking, it works best for gravel roads. An owner might find specific uses for it with dirt but it is not something we argue it is made for. Pulling it with a street legal, rubber tired truck, limits its traction when pulling on dirt and sand. Ideal size of material is inch and a quarter minus rock and less on established roads. This is a maintenance machine, not a fix all.
