EquipmentWorld.com | September 2017 69 concrete/asphalt attachments | by Don McLoud | DonMcLoud@randallreilly.com Turn skid steer into milling machine Bobcat's planer attachment is designed for mating uneven pavement surfaces, cleaning up around larger milling machines, cutting drainage in parking lots, milling around manholes and tapering road edges. Its carbide-tipped bits are mounted on a revolving drum to cut and mill concrete and asphalt. The milled material then exits a rear opening. The planers come in four models, from 14 to 40 inches. Mix and go cement mix Eterra's Mix and Go Cement Mixer does what its name implies when it's attached to skid steers or compact track loaders. Operators can scoop the material, mix cement mix in the hopper and then apply the mix directly from the bucket, or with a spring-assisted side gate and chute, or with a hydraulic center chute with dispenser hose. It comes in three models, from 9 to 21 cubic feet: BMX-250, BMX- 450 and BMX-600. A BMX-100 model is available for compact skid steer loaders. Mobile drill eases operator fatigue Minnich Manufacturing's A3/A6 dowel pin drills can be mounted to an excavator, backhoe or skid steer. The pneu- matically powered attachment, which features up to six drills, eliminates operator fatigue by using the carrier to transport the drill, the company says. Operators can also drill a second set of holes without having to reposition the carrier, when using the side-shift function. A dust-collection system is optional.
