Big piles of snow in the winter, along with normal vegetation growth, can create an important, ongoing challenge for highway crews in Maine. Region 5 of the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) put a Gradall XL 4300 Ⅲ excavator to work removing a large earthen ledge along Rte. 164-a job typically handled using conventional excavators. "When a snow plow goes around a big, sharp corner like this, or a school bus tries to get safely through the intersection, visibility is critical, so it's very important that the highway crew has an efficient way to lower a ledge like this," said Steve Sawyer, product support sales representative for C.N. Wood, Gradall distributor for the state of Maine.
