Love this Ol boy running this paver he is so relaxed and obviously has paved many a mile. Just bought an old Puckett T450 and brought it home yesterday. I look forward to emulating 1/2 of what guy knows. Would love to work for him for a while and learn from him. Lots of punks thinking they are hot S**t posting comments here. As an excavation contractor for the past 30 years I have had the privilege of watching many a paving crew. Anyone who can keep that beard clean paving knows what hes doing.

I've been a small paving contractor for 45 years and I've had several of these pavers . They do a great job for small work ,you can do paving projects with as few as three guys if trained right,that puts more cash in your pocket. Make no mistake on large jobs bigger machines are faster ,but mid size and small there money makers.

The Puckett is a great little machine for the money. She does just as good a job as a lot of other machines in it's class if not better, for half the purchase price. It's light, easy to transport and gets into some tight spots. Disadvantage no full extension screed on the wings. She'll shoot 300 tons a day comfortable. More than enough for a small two or three truck operation. You'll get 5 or 6 good years out of it with little to no problems. After that there junk, you'll just start sinking money into it. Don't hesitate get rid of it and get a new one, Very expensive to re condition and not worth it in my opinion. It's a money maker, highly recommend it for guys just getting started.

They're really great machines for driveways and small parking lots. We have a model 540 which is the 8-12 foot machine that we use almost daily. We bought it used for almost nothing, sandblasted it, painted it, and it looked like new. I think the most we've put down in one day with it is around 300 tons. Next small paver we get will probably be a model 580 Puckett or a 650 Mauldin.

That looks awesome! No fuzz, almost no afterwork, pretty fast.

My uncle operates like the old fulla but both sides of paver im glad to have learnt his onto it ways in paving i got to learn alot in 4years now im versitile in all aspects of paving

Iv paved for 30 years .As long as the pavement is very hot the butt joint will seal. JOB WELL DONE VERY GOOD WORK. impressive compared to what i have been watching...

I have a 05 813 and I will say that is a bad ass paver Small and slow but nice and smooth nice job

Wow i thought puckett quit making pavers but i tell u what I've been in the paving biz for 19 years and our first paver was puckett a T450 it wasn't the greatest but it still got r done :-)

I'm . Trying to find a control module for a 2020 580laydown machine

been doing asphalt for 35+ years and thats how you run a paver nice job

Nice guys, keep it up

lays a nice mat for a power box

Waoooo nice job

Need to turn the extension screed down a little would not leave the shadow .

The chap pushing in the excess with that wooden thing ruined the finish, it shoul have been just rolled

We still have an old Puckett A T450 cranking and it still dos a gat job. Not as good as the 580 in this video but pretty good for a piec of paving equipment that's that old.

Where do you put the Duracell batteries in at?

that lute guy has no clue how to lute a joint. hes pulling it way to far onto the allready rolled pass , which causes alot of fines to get unsealed

hahaha this is good if your just starting out or only have small small space to work with. No one wants to use these unless they are a one job a day kind of company.

slow as christmas

whats it making 8 foot pulls. Milking the clock costing the company money. Get a blawknox make half the pulls and get the hell out of there go to the next job.

Nice paver! I have a sweet t450.. The guys raking the joints though needs to learn how to do so.. Hes broadcasting the excess all over the fresh mat!?!? Thats a no no 👎 them seems should be laid a tiny bit less in depth but hey....

A toy paver

wow at that pace they might get 1 truck load down. holy slow.

Not very good at matching joint
