Just would like to say, my grandfather used a Wabco and would cut the ditches and the roadway for whole subdivisions in a couple days. He would rarely be off on the drainage and the peak of the middle of the road. The grader he used was a Wabco, had I think a 8 cyclinder diesel, blade was around 18 feet and the blade height was like 18 inches. That was his joy to operate. First thing he did back in the 70's when he got it. He took a torch and cut the entire cab off the top so he could see the blade cutting better. He loved nothing better than being on that thing. Watching him do radiuses and cut ditches 4 foot deep with the blade on a steep 45 degree angle in just a few passes and be on grade was like watching a master at work. He did all this after looking at the blueprints, once. Scary how good he was. Miss my grandfather.
Built by the well-known group of American engineers “BRENT’s Engineering Ingenuity”, recognized for building modified and rebuilt equipment with brutal capabilities for earthworks and material handling, the CAT 25M is not an official Caterpillar equipment. However, it is a machine that is manufactured with components from 5 different equipment of the Caterpillar brand.The CAT 25M has parts of the equipment: CAT 988B, 834B, 836B, 235C, D10N and 657B. And it is undoubtedly an engineering work that attracts a lot of attention due to the earthmoving capacity it has, having a large curved blade and a height greater than the Official CAT 24M
Big ole machine made for mines.. wish the video would have put some specs up telling a little about the machine. How much it weighs and how much horsepower it has and what motor or Motors it has in it and how big the blade is , I think the video could have been s little better. I’m just glad they didn’t add music
el operador coge el cordón por el medio a medio, puedes apreciar que tiene fuerza con una marcha reducida, pero es practica para limpiar pistas, arreglar una capa o un cargue?? cuantas marchas tiene?
i wonder what kind of engine makes that thing move how much dirt can you push whit that giant grader? I assume it be best suited for Mines or out west in oil field some thing big like that
I believe there's got to be a limit to these things! Size wise....24M offers last word in large blade grading. O'wise a 140M2 does all the grading any roads engineer needs for sure! This is a lugubrious beast, too big for its own good!
@oliverwabwire2836,yeah, it's pretty huge. Let's see a police road block try to stop it with their cop cars,can you say SQUISHED FLAT😅😂🤣!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,LOL
I was lucky enough to get a die cast model of this bad boy, although it a little different, it has a walking platform between the drive wheels and engine compartment on each side along with the rip blades.
would love to see a picture of that ! Pretty sure its not a 25M as this was a one off, only one was ever made, so there are no variances of it. What you probably have is a Champion T-100, which actually makes this machine look like a little toy in comparison.
Is a machine of that type really practical at that size? Seems to me scrapers would be a better option for what they are using it for. A grader this large would normally have a very wide blade would it not? Why have such a heavy duty narrow blade?
Forward Rams great,take the load,boss points,major welding point in rock or non fluffy surface,loading articulation,pin point big problem.and mechanic even looks at it,blade is way to heavy gauge and will cause hopping,my 24m most likely could do the same as it,great idea but I think it's 100k extra not needed.i really have the great thoughts on what could make it a money maker,with less hopping and makes better grading in a higher speed.more efficient
+Pat Keller Yeah , this beauty of a machine is sitting in pieces now . I don't think it even made 1 year of service !!!! Would make a great yard ornament though !! !
that's cool looking piece of equipment I would only be good for moving snow on a dirt road, you back roads it would be to heavy for 98% of the bridges on farm market roads, but it would be great for haul roads, n I see someone asked if it had cup holders, my question is does it come with an ash tray? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cool video my compliments sir
