Ran a blade in the Marine Corps building runways, and never really learned until I started running one for the county maintaining roads and ditches. Most capable and amazing peice of equipment there is. Love running it.
I'm totally captivated by motor graders. One would assume there isn't much to blading/grading -- "just put the blade down and drive" kinda thing, but there is a lot to it, and it takes time to learn so many of the subtle techniques to get the job done right.
That sounds like a two stroke Detroit in that gimmy Lol. I tried to run a grader long ago on a crooked snake of a drive way thru the woods, was a small Allis Chalmers and there wasn't enough cuss words in every language so I quit and never sat in one again. Man got to know his limitations.
Love this video! I have a 1976 CAT 12G that I bought last year to build roads in north idaho. Thanks for putting out these great Videos with awesome tips and tricks. Please keep them coming.
Fun to watch, Thx My first job as a newly graduated engineer in the late 70's was at the Fiat-Allis Proving Ground in downstate Illinois on the Illinois River. I was assigned as the Test Engineer for graders and scrapers. Fun job while it lasted (which was not long)
Good morning Jeff. Thank you for the video and some tips on grading!!!. The best way to learn Jeff is wide open spaces and like you say plenty of patience and cursing. Take care and catch you next time 👍😎🇬🇧.
Dang all that for 25 ton!!!! Out here in jersey we run 25 ton on just a tri-axle (tandom drive a single pusher and the steer). Awesome awesome channel love the content and the variety keep em comin!!! John K from Bergen county New Jersey.
Been learning to run our 120M. Great machine. I learned how to blade about 18” of snow off via alot of cursing. Got stuck once or twice. Finally it clicked and I looked like a champ. Next I need some real dirt experience other than grading gravel roads.
Dad always used a 2 Ft. level made by Craftsman with the "plumbers level" built in which is about a 2-3 degree slope. He used that level for 35. Until he retired and he retired in 1979. I received it in 1998and still use it today.
Wow! Nice little Citabria!!! I'm in the process of gettin my PP certificate. Long time dream that I have to live out before it's too late. Ha. I had no idea you were a pilot and liked to move and operate big yellow iron. That's pretty cool! Small world. By the way I really enjoy your videos. Great content, and it's nice to see there are still some "normal" people out there makin it happen. Don't buy a roller! Anything that vibrates or compacts is a breakdown and leak looking for a place to happen. Where I work, if it vibrates or compacts, we rent it.
That bit about rolling the aggregate with the blade so it stays homogeneous is genius. Backdragging with a light bucket is the opposite. If the bucket is kept heavy, there's less separation of the gravel from the binder.
I have a bobcat S300 low hours and it has a enclosed cab with AC and heat works great if you're interested in it. I have 2 buckets for it, grapple, jackhammer, 2 fork attachments, sweeper, a grader attachment with GPS and a trencher for it.
i started on the 12e, then 12f --- the g made the machine so much less fragile and more mobile. on the e and f half my focus was on not breaking a gear. from metal gears to hydraulics to lasers and now GPS.
Luv the videos think u do well to get that content that keeps us following...you were saying u would like a roller well I work for a local rm here in Canada we actually built a wobbly packer in our shop it works great we hooked it up to the ripper on a essey fit system we made just a thought keep up the good work ...we run 140 n 160m got a catD6 a 329 excavator and a good old made in England ts14 scraper works good have a nice day ..
I think a lot of county blade operators use the crab method to cover more area. Plus you have less side drift. I remember from heavy equipment operator school books if you lean the front wheels slightly to the lower side of the angle it will counter act the sliding of the machine.
Well I know why you couldn't get the Brigadier up to lift off speed there Jeff, you were trying to do it with a full load......... some wings might of helped a little bit too ! 😁 Done some flagging for a duster company in my younger years and they had an old Agcat that was very, very much louder than the other three and I could never figure out why ! Near as I could tell it was identical to the rest but was at least twice as loud ! I sure don't envy you with the snow coming, that's why I live in a place that doesn't get white..... except in the summer when it gets white HOT ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Have you thought about a towable roller? I'm thinking of something with a single steel vibratory roller....maybe another Detroit! Possibly a bad idea but you be the judge on that. Might be an inexpensive option for a not commonly used machine. Love that mug!
Been awhile since i have seen an ole Corn Flakes (Consolidated Freightways) trailer. One of the companies my stepdad drove for bought 25 old CF single axle, daycab Freightliners back in the late 80's. All powered by 903 V8 Cummins in them. Bought 25 so he could keep the best ten running. Those were some ragged P.O.S trucks.
I’m in Illinois, we can’t use super dumps because our bridge laws are so strict. Very few guys even have try axles because it doesn’t gain enough capacity to even warrant the maintenance.. so we just haul 15-17 ton at a time depending on the truck
Jeff you used to be able to get what they call rollers they consist of 8 plus solid tyres mounted on a common shaft and they were mounted behind the rippers are on CAT graders and you use existing hydraulics to lift etc and you can apply down pressure as well by the ripper lever, just something for you to think about, maybe a machinery wrecker would have a set
Had a couple cases of R-12 & R-22 in the little cans put away, went to use it a couple of years ago, and they all had bled empty. Guess the crimped seals on those aren't for long term storage. Good luck on the weather, word is you're in amongst some serious accumulation areas out there. Too early for that white stuff.
Finding those old wagon type pneumatic rubber tire rollers are getting harder and harder to find, but that’d work perfect. You can pull them with your grader, tractor or pickup. Thanks for the video
Unreal how rules change from state to state. Here in Tn, tri-axle dumptruck. Can gross 74000 on State Hwy's. And most can haul 24 tons. I ran one GMC brigadier L10 and 9 speed, single frame truck. I could haul 26 tons, that was a money maker for sure.
Thanks for the gravel explanation, Jeff. It amazes me the difference in ways things get done around the country and the difference in materials people use. We are almost strictly crushed granite here where I am, I see up around Pittsburgh they use a lot of crushed limestone, in Portland Maine granite is so abundant they use it for making the curb and gutters around the city- it was rare to see concrete for this anywhere in the city itself. Upstate New York is shale country, but the people up there aren't making heavy highway roads, just mostly driveways they top with granite (it looks like). Thanks for the videos, Winter is coming.
2 inches of rain in last 12 hours here in eastern Nebraska and a lot more to come. Going to make for a tough harvest. Missouri River has been at flood stage since March and no sign of going down any time soon. Enjoy your sense of humor.
Wow, Look at that Champion 7GCBC Citabria. She even has flaps and the long wing. Great flying Citabria. It will come out of just about anywhere you can get it in. Did he put new Spruce spars in, or put new metal wings on it? There are several wing AD's out on the wooden spar Aeroncas, Champions and Bellancas. They are bad about developing compression cracks right on the outboard spar doubler plates. I'm sure your buddy is well aware, I'm just a Champ and Citabria nut. Have had a lot of fun in them! Love the video Jeff.
Easy cheap compactor, use old Kenny and the low bed with the 336 on the deck. You probably weight well over 100k and with all 8 axles I believe you would have the same effect as the rubber tire compactor machines the paving guys use.
Another awesome video Jeff, I'll see about that roller for ya. There's a few I used to know about I'll try to track one or enough parts to make one.. I know the money tree don't grow in Idaho. Especially where Cats tend to gather & hang out... Wish I had that Detroit noise maker, What kind of pump you got on that GMC General. ??👍👍
Flippin plowed snow Saturday, Sunday, and Monday here in central Oregon.............in September!!! NOT READY FOR THAT $HIT YET!! The 14 looks mean with the Titan rubbers Jefferson, we're slowly getting our 14's into Titan tennis-skippers too. I've slept since, but I think we had them on the 163H for last winter but it has the all wheel drive option so I pay less attention to the traction with it than the standard 14G machines.........be interesting to see how those tires grab for the big girls on packed snow. And..................if you don't cuss when you run grader, you haven't tried to do ANYTHING to the earth with one while it was moving 🤣🤣🤣🤣. They are the most aggrivatingly satisfying machines to operate there is, you can be so damn mad and wanna burn it to the ground one minute.........and just like that all the sudden everything's going just right .............then you think goddamn I do know how to do this, you turn and look back (mistake) behind you, lull the wheel as you turn and come out of your line and your gouging like hell lmao! My favorite is going behind someone that don't give a pinch of poo about their work and you have to recover half the material out of the ditch, process the rocks and brush out of it, reestablish every part of the road, and all the gravel you need to fix the top of this hill................it's down on the other side of that dip 200 yards away..................
You forgot to add the part about losing all of your regained material in the washed out end of the nearly collapsed culvert that's in the the bottom of that dip... And then the cussing resumes.
I helped my best friend make a runway for his gyrocopter he built. It was only 2000 feet long but it still had to be sloped and graded properly. We rented all this huge stuff like a Volvo G940 grader and Cat 563E roller. We were clueless. There was so many controls on the graders that we spent two hours just figuring out what all the levers did. And there's so many techniques that we just didn't understand. We got it done, basically we just smashed the shit out of it with the roller to fix our grader mistakes. Not an easy job, next time we will hire a pro to do it. He's going to expand it to 4000 feet and add crushed limestone. Not me !
Enjoyed the video bro, is grad school education all you need to drive a grader up your way. Got crap weather here also with trees blown across a main highway. Anyway all the best
Great video! A blade is one piece of equipment I have spent very little time in, and most it was cussing just like you said!! Also, the explanation of 3/4 segregation when you drag it with a bucket was perfect, as my driveway will attest to. My 510d John Deere backhoe was all I had to put in my driveway, and I have some pretty big rock pockets. Speaking of skid loaders, I was just looking at some JCBs. They have some interesting new ideas. What’s you opinion of the brand? Thanks for another great video!
Boa tarde Como e que faz pra trabalhar com vocês ai sou operador de máquinas pesada patrola trator de esteira escreiper muito bom estes vídios de vocês
I actually thought you might get the water truck off the ground lol If anyone could do it Jeff could rainy here frosty nights about half way through the harvest season don't think snow@
I think if you can get 88 MPH outta Gimmy you end up somewhere in Indiana in the 1950's . Hahaha Those big At Cats are impressive , those guys that fly theme have some skill,and nerve ! Thanks for the video was the before the snow or did you miss that ?
I'm not used to running a greater were slapping level on my work is done in Colorado and the roads up and down there ain't nothing flat form ditches sloping
