CMI RS-800 Recycler Review: A Soil Stabilizer in South Dakota

A stronger road project starts below the surface. If your next job calls for reclaiming pavement materials or preparing a stabilised base, this CMI RS-800 gives you a specific machine to explore—with seller-listed working dimensions, a CAT engine and original equipment photos.

About this review: This is an editorial assessment of the advertised equipment, supplier information and original photographs. We have not inspected or operated this machine. Information was checked on 17 October 2026; confirm the selected unit, current records and quotation with the supplier.

Meet the CMI RS-800 recycler and soil stabilizer

Omnia Machinery advertises this used RS-800 as a soil stabilizer, while the marketplace categorises it as a recycler. The supplier gives a 1999 registration year, stock reference US2439 and an advertised price of US$70,000.

Its seller-listed CAT 3412 engine, 8-foot working width and 16-inch maximum working depth provide a useful starting point for matching the machine to a project brief. Start with the material, treatment depth and required finished layer, then discuss the proposed operation with the supplier and your project team.

Key specifications at a glance

Sources: the marketplace offer and Omnia’s matching RS-800 stock page. Specifications are supplier statements, not independent performance measurements.

Put the working width and depth into project terms

An advertised working width of 8 feet is approximately 2.44 metres; 16 inches is approximately 406 mm. Those conversions help when a project specification uses metric dimensions.

Use the width to plan the treatment layout, including pass overlaps and access. Agree the required treatment depth with the responsible engineer, then ask the supplier about the machine’s configuration for the material involved. A useful enquiry describes the job rather than relying on a model name alone.

For context, the Federal Highway Administration describes full-depth reclamation as treating the asphalt pavement and a predetermined amount of underlying material to create a stabilised base. Its guidance covers pulverisation, additives where specified, shaping, compaction and a wearing course. That is process background—not a claim that every additive system or configuration is included with this RS-800.

Technical context: FHWA’s archived full-depth reclamation guidance.

Explore the machine through the original photos

The supplier’s photos show the yellow RS-800 body, large tyres, operator platform and controls. Visible CMI and Terex RS-800 markings help identify the machine being discussed. Ask for a current walkaround and working video of stock US2439, with the equipment and operating functions relevant to your purchase.

Operating-hours records: the listing reports 6,000 hours. A supplied photograph shows an “Engine Hrs” display reading 3,317.05. Request the current machine-hours and engine-hours records, with the meter history, so your purchase documentation identifies each reading correctly.

Plan inspection around your intended work

Send the supplier a short project brief: the material to be treated, intended depth, working-area access and anticipated transport route. Request a serial-number confirmation, current service information and an inventory of the equipment supplied.

For the technical discussion, ask about the rotor and cutting-tool configuration, operating controls and the arrangements needed for your specified treatment process. Have the competent project team define the mix design, treatment sequence and acceptance checks.

Omnia’s FAQ says it can arrange OEM or independent inspections and provide photographs and working videos. Agree the inspection scope for this machine before finalising the purchase.

Worldwide delivery: what the supplier says

Omnia advertises worldwide shipping. The product page also states that customs paperwork is included and that shipping updates are provided. Its FAQ describes worldwide services, including RoRo and container options; its shipping page covers documentation support, marine-insurance arrangements and shipment coordination.

For this South Dakota machine, provide the destination country and port or final site when requesting a freight quotation. Ask the supplier to confirm the collection location, inland haulage, loading arrangements, shipping method and arrival handling for that route.

The advertised machine weight is 67,000 lb, approximately 30.4 tonnes. Use that as an initial planning figure and request the actual transport dimensions and shipping weight for the quoted configuration. The supplier can then identify the suitable carrier and any preparation required.

Shipping sources: Omnia’s shipping services and shipping and purchase FAQs. Worldwide service remains subject to a destination-specific quotation.

Shipping costs, payment and order terms

Omnia’s published standard terms state that transport is arranged at the customer’s expense, with loading or unloading resources provided by the customer at the delivery point. They also list freight, packing, insurance, taxes and applicable duties as additional to the goods price.

The FAQ describes payment mainly by wire transfer before shipment, with a Letter of Credit or Cash against Documents available in some circumstances, and weekly shipment updates. It also describes a negotiable 30-day reservation using a 10% deposit.

The standard terms separately provide for a 10% non-refundable deposit and a balance payable within 14 days of the pro forma invoice. Because those terms refer to sterling while this machine is advertised in US dollars, confirm the contracting entity, agreed currency, payment schedule and reservation conditions in the written order.

For inspection and acceptance planning, the FAQ states that Omnia does not offer a warranty on used machinery. Confirm the applicable written sale terms and agreed inspection arrangements for this unit.

Commercial sources: published standard terms, particularly sections 4, 6, 8 and 9, and the supplier’s purchase FAQ. Obtain a unit-specific quotation showing the agreed services, licence responsibilities and delivery point.
