Abstract: Asphalt additive compositions are described which comprise (A) a metallic organic strength improving compound and (B) an anti-strip compound. The metal of said metallic organic compound is selected from the group consisting of manganese, cobalt, copper, vanadium, molybdenum, cerium, iron, nickel, lead, zirconium, barium, calcium and zinc. The preferred metal is manganese. The anti-strip compound is designed to reduce water-induced damage to asphalt paving mixtures.

Abstract: A method and train is disclosed for the highway safe transportation of a front loader implement, i.e., a back hoe or a skip loader, with the rear pair of wheels of same cradled above road level between the front and rear axles of a dolly and with the front lip of the scoop of the implement engaging a rearwardly-directed lip hook provided at the fork of a Y-shaped towbar. The two arms of said towbar extend rearwardly under the scoop, each arm with a length of chain and a terminal hook threaded under and behind the scoop, over the lift arms and there secured, each chain to the other, by means of its terminal hook. The forward-directed base of the Y is provided at its terminus with a trailer coupler engaging the trailer hitch of a towing vehicle. The front pair of wheels of the implement are raised above road level by downwardly uncurling the scoop.
