NewRoadProducts Roadtec RX-100e milling machine World of Asphalt served as the public���s introduction to a new Roadtec planer the RX-100e utility milling machine. For years the company watched as loyal customers bought this size of milling machine from its competitors. Company president Jeff Richmond says the company decided it was done watching. ���If they needed a little 12- or 20-inch trimmer like this machine, they had no recourse but to go to a competitor,��� he says. ���And the old adage about if you let the camel���s nose in the tent, pretty soon he thinks he owns the tent?��� www.roadtec.com Hamm Rolling rubber The Wirtgen Group brought its potent new Hamm HD 14TT compact pneumatic roller to the World of Asphalt 2013 show in San Antonio in March.
