I process similar to this method. I only have about 150 miles of processing under my belt but during that time I have found what is shown to work well. I put both sides of the road in the center, then take it about 2-3’ from the shoulder and place half then come back and place the other half to a 4 percent crown. The other operators in my area do some pretty different stuff at times but I guess results are what matter the most.
THE MOTOR GRADER , BY FAR THE BEST MACHINE TO OPERATE ON ANY DIRT JOB . MOST OF THE TIME ITS ONE OF THE FIRST TRACTORS ON THE JOB AND THE LAST ONE TO LEAVE. ALWAYS A WATER TRUCK NEAR BY AND YOU DONT GET THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF YOU AS YOU DO ON A DOZER OR SCRAPER . THE FINISH BLADE IS THE BEST RIG TO RUN , ITS BY FAVORITE AND I ENJOY THE HELL OF BEING A FINISH BLADE MAN ! IF THE BUILDING PAD IS WITH IN 2 OR 3 TENTHS AND IVE GOT A 615 OR 623 PICKUP MACHINE TO WORK WITH ME , A GOOD BLADE HAND CAN FINISH 100 THOUSAND SQ, FT A DAY. EASY ! Finish blade rocks !!
Its very peaceful and relaxing. Every day you have a feeling of accomplishment. I've been running a grader for 2 yrs in kansas and my blood pressure has dropped and I always leave work happy.
@@coltonbrown3282 I TOO run a maintainer in Kansas. 8 years now.... I had to laugh at a lot of things mentioned here. Most are "in a perfect application" things, and differ "here in the REAL world".... such as "you may need more than a grader to fix" or "apply water". The work is peaceful, the public feedback at times, not so much. My favorite is when many people forget that rain makes mud, and yeah, it's difficult to drive on a mud road!
I just started running a grader it's actually not that hard. I was able to operate at pretty close tolerances in a few hours. This is even with the really old poorly running machine I'm using.
It is an art to work on the motor grader, for me it is the most beautiful, here of my email in case they occupy a motor grader operator greetings to all.
