Verified model comparison
Compare a standard conveyor-free compact mill with a rear-conveyor package, including the material-handling plan.
The W 35 Ri reference follows the standard FB350 configuration without a conveyor; the W 50 Ri reference includes a long rear conveyor. Decide whether material will be collected separately or loaded directly, then check the space available for the cleanup machine or receiving truck. Optional conveyors must be documented separately.
The W 35 Ri artwork shows an optional conveyor even though its canonical overall dimensions describe the base machine. The W 50 Ri overall dimensions describe a folded transport configuration, while its artwork shows the conveyor operating. Use the labeled measurements and configuration cards, not the illustrations, for access planning.
Compare cutting width and depth with the actual pavement requirement, then account for tooling, water supply, traffic setup and material removal. Inspect drum holders, picks, depth control and the fitted conveyor system. A narrow machine can improve access while adding passes or cleanup work, so record those assumptions in the cost comparison.
Generation/configuration-aware: measurement basis and reference configuration travel with each value. A difference in basis is not treated as a performance difference.

A small milling machine whose standard conveyor-free arrangement suits confined pavement work. The optional rear conveyor is shown separately so it does not inflate the base-machine dimensions.
ExploreA compact rear-loading mill suited to localized pavement removal. The reference separates its folded transport envelope from the longer conveyor arrangement needed at work.
ExploreCarry utilization, fuel, wear, attachments and transport into an editable planning model.
ExploreNo winner is declared. Job fit depends on configuration, condition, dealer support, attachments, transport and cost assumptions beyond these published figures.
