“What I really like is that it can do both large and small jobs without extra equipment”

“This machine is so versatile that I end up using it all the time and I can put it wherever I need it, consequently I get more production and less downtime from my employees”

This machine is capable of doing even larger jobs so I don’t have to haul-in a large grader and a big trailer that requires a CDL licensed driver.

The precision of this machine is so good that I can get the job done with fewer passes and less gravel segmentation

The controls are so easy and comfortable to use that my operators can do more jobs and they don’t complain about being tired
