A screed assembly includes an auger, a cylinder, and a vibratory screed. The screed assembly may be included in an undercarriage. The undercarriage may be coupled to a carriage. The carriage may travel along a length of a framework. One or more sensors may be used to determine height information of the screed assembly relative to a surface to be paved. One or more actuators may be used to selectively adjust the height of the screed assembly based on the height information.

Systems and methods for controlling a construction machine, such as an asphalt paver, having a tractor, an implement coupled to the tractor via at least one tow arm, and a mast. A position sensor mounted to the mast may detect a geospatial position of the mast. An angle sensor may detect at least one angle associated with the mast. A control point may be calculated based on the geospatial position and the at least one angle. The control point may be spatially offset from a vector formed by a lengthwise extension of the mast. The at least one tow arm may be moved based on a comparison between the control point and a target point.

A roller tube concrete finishing machine includes retractable vibration gangs that can be selectively immersed within wet concrete and then retracted with parallelogram linkage. Spaced-apart, drive parallel rollers are journaled between frame ends for supporting and propelling the machine upon and between parallel form rails. A front roller provide a strike-off function. The vibration gangs are deployed by a retractable, parallelogram linkage that moves them forwardly and downwardly for operation, or which retracts the vibrators inwardly and upwardly relative to the frame. When the vibrators are retracted, the are withdrawn upwardly from the concrete and retracted rearwardly towards the machine front to reduce machine dimensions. Substantial retraction of the vibrators prevents subsequent interference with the rebar below. Vibrator retraction reduces overall machine dimensions for clearance and shipping purposes, with gang vibration arrays nested upwardly and inwardly proximate the front of the machine.

Various embodiments for a median barrier finishing machine are described. A median barrier finishing machine may include a housing configured to encapsulate at least a portion of a median barrier, where the housing comprises a first vertical wall, a second vertical wall, and a horizontal wall. The median barrier finishing machine may include at least one adjustable member configured to couple the housing to the vehicle and retain the housing a predetermined distance relative to the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. Further, the median barrier finishing machine may include at least one finishing device disposed within the housing, where the at least one finishing device is configured to contact a surface of a median barrier at least partially positioned within the housing and treat the surface as the vehicle moves the housing along a length of the median barrier.

A concrete surface working machine includes a base portion and a screed head mounted at the base portion. The screed head includes a grade setting device and a vibrating element attached at a frame of the screed head. The screed head includes a rock tamper adjustably attached at the frame of the screed head via a pair of support elements. The screed head includes a pair of actuators that, when actuated, adjust the support elements to adjust the rock tamper relative to the frame. The concrete surface working machine is operable to position the vibrating element at the concrete surface. The actuators are selectively controlled by an operator of the concrete surface working machine to adjust a height of the rock tamper relative to the vibrating element and the concrete surface while the screed head is moved along the concrete surface.
