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.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

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

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

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:

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.
