Roadtec RX-600 Cold Planer
The Roadtec RX-600 is the mid-size cold planer for contractors who need real production in city streets, subdivisions, parking lots, and tighter lane closures. It brings 675 hp, 3-track or 4-track configurations, a two-stage front load-out conveyor, and standard widths from 6 ft 3 in to 7 ft 2 in.

Overview
Built for city streets, subdivisions, parking lots, lane repairs, and maneuverable production milling.
The RX-600 sits in the sweet spot between compact utility milling and heavy highway production. It is light and maneuverable for urban work, but still carries the horsepower, conveyor capacity, and track options needed for serious milling days.
Astec lists the RX-600 with four-track assemblies or optional three-track assemblies, up to 13 in of cut depth, and a two-stage front load-out conveyor with a 60-degree swing to either side.
For Texas contractors, the RX-600 is often the right conversation when the work includes city overlays, curb-line milling, shoulder tie-ins, HOA streets, parking-lot production, and DOT work that does not require full-lane horsepower.
Features
What makes the RX-600 work
Dust Extraction System
A hydraulic fan pulls dust and debris from the milling operation and helps send fine material through the conveyor stream into the truck.
Keyway Steering
Steering keys at the front legs are replaceable, and the linkage-free design improves access around the primary conveyor area.

How to compare it
Choose RX-600 over RX-405 when standard 6 ft-plus milling widths and higher production matter.
Choose RX-700 when you need 800 hp, 14 in cut depth, or wider 8 ft-plus/10 ft-class housings.
Choose RX-900 when the project is dominated by full-lane or high-volume highway milling.
