New & Improved New Vermeer Drill Offers Impressive Power in Modest Footprint Vermeer's D60x90 Navigator horizontal directional drill (HDD), provides impressive power in a small footprint; it's the cost-effective choice for tackling difficult trenchless installations in challenging ground conditions. The D60x90 is powered by a 185 hp (John Deere Tier 4i diesel engine, which delivers 9000 foot-pound of rotational torque and 60,000 pound of thrust/pullback. A climate-controlled cab enhances operator comfort and offers protection from the weather. The optional front-mounted stakedown system can reduce the amount of time and materials needed to set up the drill, enhancing jobsite efficiency. In addition, customers can choose from two diameters of 15-foot Firestick drill rod: 2.875-inch or 3.5-inch diameter. The D60x90 is available with additional, quick-change rod boxes containing up to 300 feet (91.4 m) of drill rod each. The new rod box design is removable by releasing two pins and a single latch, the quick-change rod box reduces the need to manually load drill rod. The D60x90 is equipped with a 7-inch (17.8 cm) TFT-LCD color monitor that offers visibility to key drilling function parameters, as well as DCI locator information.

BOMAG's exclusive Asphalt Manager II technology enables the new BW190AD-4 AM tandem vibratory roller to deliver continuously optimized compaction performance, regardless of operator experience. A special front drum designed to work with the new Asphalt Manager II system automatically measures and controls compaction performance. As the material becomes stiffer, Asphalt Manager II begins to adjust the angle/vector of the drum's output energy from fully vertical to fully horizontal. This helps ensure that optimum surface quality results are achieved, while avoiding asphaltdamaging over-compaction. The BW190AD-4 AM offers 79-inch-wide drums and features slanted drum support legs, high curb clearance and a clear view of the entire drum surface. Two new models of milling machines, the BM500/15 and the BM600/15, both feature innovative rotor geometry to reduce vibration, increase service life and greatly simplify drum replacement. The new rotor geometry features optimally arranged teeth and a thick shell for uniform, low-vibration and very precise cutting. The edge cutter is also designed to produce a smooth edge with minimum damage, which helps reduce extra costs and ancillary work for the contractor. To minimize downtime, the diagonal cutters protect the rotor when driving around bends, and they prevent abrasion to the bracket edges. In an industry-exclusive rotor mount design, the cutting width of the Bomag milling machines can be adjusted with the removal of just a few bolts.
