Abstract: A milling attachment device has a rotating hood and provides both cutting depth control and bit access by rotating the rotating hood. The rotating hood is rotated by an actuating mechanism such as an extending cylinder, a slew drive, or drive rings. The rotating hood may also have a skid foot and/or a wheel to assist in the depth control. The milling attachment device may be connected to a host vehicle so that it can be maneuvered into position for milling or maintenance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for milling paving material. A self-powered milling system includes a cutting head to mill the paving material. The cutting head is powered by a milling system motor that speeds up production and enables the milling of very thick asphalt in a single pass. A milling system carriage follows the contour of the ground, provides stability during the milling process, is selectively adjusted to provide cuts at various angles, and enables precise edge milling. A breaker bar holds the paving material down as it tries to lift up during the milling process, and is employed to assist in the breaking up of the milled aggregate.

Abstract: A locking device to hold an asphalt milling machine on a loader bucket to increase stability and accuracy of the milling machine and increase the speed at which the loader bucket can transition between directing the milling machine and picking up ground asphalt.

Abstract: Systems and methods that provide increased stability, support and power while grinding paving material. A self-powered milling system, which is coupled to a vehicle to selectively move the milling system, is used to mill paving material. The milling system includes a cutting head, such as a cylindrical mandrel that includes a variety of bits attached thereon and spins on an axis, to mill the paving material. The cutting head is powered by a milling system motor that speeds up production and enables the milling of very thick asphalt (e.g., 8 inch thick asphalt) in a single pass. A milling system carriage follows the contour of the ground, provides stability during the milling process, and may be selectively adjusted to provide cuts at various angles. In one embodiment, the carriage includes a flush side to enable precise edge milling.
