New Generation Pipelayer

Midwest Manufacturing Company has announced commencement of production of its newly designed sideboom attachment for the new John Deere 1050J model crawler tractor.  The new pipelayer has a maximum lift capacity of 140,000 lbs. and was developed by Midwestern’s engineering group working closely with John Deere Construction Division engineers and senior representatives. The new Midwestern proprietary sideboom attachment for the John Deere 1050J follows last year’s design for the 1050C model, which was field-tested on a 36-inch job last year by a major U.S. mainline contractor.  The John Deere tractor with the Midwestern sideboom attachment has produced a pipelayer that has received high praise for its overall balance, visibility and single lever joystick controls.  Midwestern expects a strong demand for the large model John Deere pipelayers. The new 1050J model, as well as the Midwestern sideboom pipelayer attachments on the 750J and 850J model tractors are now available through the John Deere Construction Division Dealer network.
  Midwestern is based in Tulsa, OK and for over 50 years has engineered and manufactured specialized pipeline construction equipment.
