Another great video bro, I see what you mean about a different tire on the front of the grader you mentioned to Matt about. I never noticed before and still been none the wiser. That road only needs maintenance every 2 years that say a lot about the way you guys looks after it. Private roads here need constant care to stop potholes getting out of hand. Safe travels

I worked with a grader operator and he could scrap the blue paint off the tops of grade stakes. He was an unbelievable operator. His Cat had six bald tires completely filled with water to take out any harmonic motion in the blade. He was one can short of a six pack, but no one could come close to him on that machine.

I've mentioned here before I worked on a road construction crew as a summer college job in the mid 60s. I was used to moving our big Cat grader around the job site. One day the operator wanted to know if I would move the Cat a couple of miles away to a new location. LIKE, YEAH!!! So I had this machine on the open road and was approaching a wide boulevard turn. I canted the front wheels over as far as they would go and took the turn around 30 mph! Good god, all the wheels were ripping the stone off the asphalt all the way around the turn. I was a little worried that the boss would see the black tire path and say something like, "We're trying to build roads here, not rip them up!" But nothing ever came of it; heck I was 18!

So finish job each day , we need more operators like you Chris, 👍👍🇬🇧

The stone your using looks like #53 limestone packs about like concrete but does need a good base. Back in the 70's I lived on a farm and had a drive that was close to 1/2 miles hauled a ton of stone. I would have hired you if you were old enough.

As far as I am concerned a there are very few grader operators….there are alot of people that operate them but few operators….you need to be able to see the road and constantly make minute adjustments . It is something I don’t have. Normally good grader operators are also your best grade operators for excavators. Since they brought out gps for dozers graders are almost extinct. If you find a kid that is extremely good with video you might of just found yourself a person that can actually run a proper grade.Chris is an excellent man at seeing the grade with his eye and being able to make just about any machine follow the grade you want.
