The innovative LeeBoy Legend Electric Screed System continues the company’s leadership in meeting customer needs and is available on LeeBoy 8500, 8515 and 8816 models. The electrically-heated Legend Screed System features the design and construction elements that have made the Legend Screed an industry standard for mat quality and productivity. These include bull-nose, heavy-duty replaceable screed plates, angle of attack controls, front-mounted screed extensions and crown/invert control.The Electric Legend Screed System comes in 8- to 15-foot paving width for 8500 and 8515 asphalt paver models.
