12E Out Grading

Thanks for posting, Mark. Nice to see a freshly-graded road

Thank you. It's not a bulldozer though, so I'm glad you liked the photos.

Hi, Mark Riendeau.

Doesn't hafta be a 'dozer. If it burns fuel, makes noise and moves dirt - and preferably Cat yellow - it'z all good.

Just my 0.02.

graders can be very useful tools. from forming a road to pulling a semi from a boghole graders are very useful.

Some of those larger graders might as well be bulldozers for the amount of dirt they can move : )

Hi, Neil.

I 'yackshully' spent about four months on one that would push-load a Cat 660B scraper better than a 270 HP D8H, an O&K G350:

Just my 0.02.

Deas, would it roughly the size of a 24? we had a few at boddington, needed to adjust to looking a long way each side of the machine to see the blade ends, I prefer the H to the M machine.

I found the M series controls to be a bit over responsive...less smooth?..a bit jerky almost? and less natural ? Kinda hard to discribe. Cab feels cramped and the rearward visibility poor. I dont much care for the camera. Software and electrical problems can be very challenging to diagnose. Just not a fan of them and they really don't have an appealing look to me. IMO. Much prefer the G and H series.
