Thanks guys, I think some kids put the cones on the rollers. I believe that Broom tractor is used used to clean the surface such as sticks or leaves, before the distribute the tack coat. I will get pics of it, it's an Allis Chalmers 5020.

Yea if figured kids had moved the cones. Contractors around me use enclosed New Holland tractors with rotating broom cores to clean pre/post paving. Havent seen someone use a broom tractor to spread tac, thats what the tac truck is for

Taking a shot here but... I believe that tractor is used to install a geotextile membrane between the layers of pavement. I have only seen pictures of this in ads by the geotextile companies. The milled pavement is cleaned and tacked and then this tractor lays the membrane onto the tack. The roll of membrane is installed on a rod on the front of the tractor (similar to a spool roll on a trencher) the membrane is rolled onto the tack and the straight brooms are used to squeege the membrane on to the surface of the lower layer. The tractor rolls along right on top of the membrane keeping it out of the tack. It would be interesting to see pictures of this in action.

MichaelH or D5G do either of you, since you have seen the process and know about it, know the benefit of the appilaction of the membrane layer? Is it for moisture areas or just to prolong the life of the mix?
Thanks
Mike

to my knowledge most geotextile applications are to prolong life, they are also used to strengthen the pavement. I have seen it used many times on truck routes where the pavement gets cracked and destroyed. Its quite an intereeting process. I think somewhere on the site I posted it explains the geotextile application process and the goals of the installation. I would be willing to bet Ajax Man would know for sure.....

Got a better pic of the machine, I think it is indeed used to lay geotextile fabric, there where stacks of 3 of them on every block that they needed to pave.

International Cargostar water truck  John Deere 310SJ  Another new Deere, I need a new camera.  JCB Backhoe  Newer Sakai Roller   2 Hamm HD120s, the one the right looks new.   RoadTec MTV, this company has several of them. Don't Know where the paver is at.

The Little Tractor is for putting down the paving fabric. Probably Tru-Pave fabric or maybe even glassgrid fabric. Clean the area, put tack down on surface, then spread your paving fabric over the tack. Then you start to pave. The whole reason for using paving fabric is to lengthen the service life of the pavement and stop reflective cracking from coming through the surface of the new pavement. The fabric companies say that you can keep reflective cracking coming through the pavement for 5 to 10 years, but I am skeptical of that statement. If there are crack's in an existing pavement usually within 6 months to a year, they are coming through the surface of the new pavement that is installed.
The down side to using paving fabric, is when that pavement eventually reaches it service life and it has to be replaced, you cannot recycle the old asphalt material at the asphalt plant, the crusher cannot crush paving fabric, you will get all kinds of strands of fabric in your finished stockpile of crushed RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement) and the DOT will not allow that RAP pile to be used in there projects, because then it is considered a diliterious material. May have to pulverize the job instead of milling or removal and replacement. I am not a fan of paving fabrics because of this reason. You cannot recycle the pavement, reuse it as an aggregate/asphalt material, causes to use more liquid asphalt and virgin aggregates, just costs us more money in the long run.

Some pics from the 2013 paving season. Kawasaki loader used for loading out millings.  JCB Backhoe  Mack Water Truck, used to a cement mixer, converted in 2012.   Wirtgen W2000    New Hamm HD14   Some from Today Diamond Reo Giant, Again used to be a cement mixer, converted to a water truck a while ago. They have one just like this, and a White Tri-Axle one as well.  Yet Another W2000  JCB 214, used to load out pieces of asphalt they hammered around manholes, culverts, etc.  Grayhound Paver again  Hamm HD14, probably purchased it, did not decal it yet. They are a big Hamm, Wirtgen, and Vogele user.  WSI needs to make this in 1/50 scale, it would go well with me HD110.

Some from the 2014 season, most of the roads around here got pretty rough from the winter so there is bound to be a lot paving this season.
