Motor-graders are super versatile. Although I was mostly an excavator, heavy haul driver, and dozer operator, I could run a grader and they were fun. We had a 12G, a 6E, a 416 4 X 4, a JD wheel loader, a 325 excavator, and two dump trucks, and a heavy haul truck with 11 axles. […]
Motor-graders are super versatile. Although I was mostly an excavator, heavy haul driver, and dozer operator, I could run a grader and they were fun.
We had a 12G, a 6E, a 416 4 X 4, a JD wheel loader, a 325 excavator, and two dump trucks, and a heavy haul truck with 11 axles.
Some of the top speeds of the graders mentioned might be a bit low.I’m pretty sure the John Deere 872 has a top speed of more than 8 kmh, the 772 I currently run tops out at a much higher speed than that while roading it.
Also the Volvo is the only grader I’ve ever seen whose mouldboard actually folded and bent back on one side like a pop can a few years ago. That shouldn’t be possible.
Interesting video. It is unclear to me how you rank them, because until 4 they seemed to get smaller not bigger.
Also #2 is heavier with more engine power than #1. One of them (don’t remember which one but it was in the last half of the video), you said the top speed was 8 kilometers per hour.
It must be incorrect because that’s wheelbarrow speed. Even if it was miles per hour it seems unreasonably slow.
