The 8680 has the ability to travel up to 616 feet per minute or 7 mph with a paving speed of up to 300 feet per minute, or 3.4 mph using high speed smooth rubber tracks.

Weighing in at 28,000 lbs., LeeBoy's 8680 asphalt paver runs on a 210 hp Kubota Tier IV Final engine and is the largest tracked asphalt paver the company has developed. The machine was designed to help meet the needs of contractors looking for a machine at the upper end of heavy commercial class pavers.

"There was a distinct gap in the market for an asphalt paver this size," Chris Broome, senior product manager at LeeBoy, said. "This machine features higher production, higher horsepower and will be capable of doing more road paving projects and those larger production jobs we're seeing more of in the heavy commercial class market."

High End Commercial Class Benefits

As machine size increases, so do the benefits to contractors as additional highway class features make their way onto commercial machines. The LeeBoy 8680 asphalt paver features high speed smooth rubber tracks, a 4-speed drive system, power tunnel shields and height adjustable augers.

"These highway class features are going to give this commercial class machine great results," Broome said. "Increased performance, efficiencies and consistency will all be seen with these features on the 8680 asphalt paver."

The machine also features the proven performance of the HD Pro Screed featured on the 8530 and 8616D asphalt paver, but upgraded for this machine.

The 8680 has the ability to travel up to 616 feet per minute or 7 mph with a paving speed of up to 300 feet per minute, or 3.4 mph using high speed smooth rubber tracks.
