Special rollers were designed to mount on the ripper section of our motor graders. Having a mounted roller on the motor grader saves time, money and manpower. On smaller jobs such as spot gravelling, the motor grader operator is also able to be the roller operator - all with one machine. Vegetation growth along the gravel roadway shoulder is a constant problem for motor grader operators. Over time the roadway becomes narrowed down as the vegetation move inward.
Considerable vegetation is mixed with gravel during operations to pull material from the shoulders.
It is necessary to chop up and separate the vegetation from the gravel prior to relaying. A five disc assembly, with eight-inch spools, was assembled and mounted to the Balderson hitch on the front end of the motor grader. Rather than resetting under-mined culverts, an economical method to fill undermined areas was needed. The county pumps a fly ash flowable concrete under the culverts to fill the void. Forms are installed before pouring, as needed.
