"""The Midland road widener was bought brand new about 7 years ago,"" Brent Schroeder said. ""We use this on many 7-foot or under asphalt or gravel installations."" This picture shows the crew using the Midland on a City of South Elgin project in 2018. ""We were installing a 3-foot-wide gravel shoulder next to the newly paved road. This is a great machine and can be used for many aspects in our industry. We like it because it's smaller than a Blaw Knox, which lets us get down narrow streets or tight areas and has the ability to get up and over the curb for those projects that have paving or aggregates behind the curb. This machine is user friendly and can be used to put down a lot of material with a small crew. Our employees love it when we can use this machine instead of the shovel!"""
