Advanced Asphalt Milling Techniques | No Edge Lines Season 2 Episode 5 | For Construction Pros

Nov 03, 2024

Thinking of adding a milling machine to your asphalt business? Or have you recently purchased one and want to get more efficient and more productive? There are lots of ways to level-up your milling game.

So you added a milling machine to your asphalt crew. Now what? There's so much you can do with these machines on their own, but with advanced technology like 3D grade control, and other automated machine controls, even a beginner like Brandon can quickly get the hang of things.

Repetition is how you get better at things. With that it mind on his second visit with the Buck Brothers in Toledo, OH, the Asphalt Contractor Magazine editor gets a more in-depth training on how to operate a highway class milling machine. After some early mistakes, for the first time he has to clean up his own mistakes by jumping in a skid steer with a milling attachment.

However, not everything goes as planned. When he gets his first chance to do some breakdown rolling on a massive 20,000 pound Caterpillar tandem roller, Brandon causes some of his biggest damage on the job yet. It's all part of the job!
