Back in the 1960's we lived very rural as in no neighbors for miles. The road was gravel and seemed like every summer the township graded the roads to bring them back after a winter of snowplowing. They also used their red Austin Western to clean out the ditches. As a young boy I loved watching them work. When they purchased a Gradall I was in heaven. I remember watching that Gradall being used on steep banks and in ditches it was unbelievable.
Run a grader for 11 years and was still finding another function it would do. I loved it what you could do was admazing. My work will be seen 50 years from now
I'm retired now,I operated a grader for 37 years,as good as you are,you never stop learning,i stared as a green horn,learned a lot from the older operators,finished as a finisher,great info
Its a feel thing as is most moving machinery. You can give people all the book knowledge you want, and yet so many operators completely stink...I know the basics of boxing and yet would get owned by raw talent.
These machines are so incredibly versatile. I haven't operated heavy equipment but a grader looks similarly difficult to operate as a walking excavator.

i want a turn on bulk finishing is a art.
Nothing but truth in what you said. If your not learning everyday, then maybe it's time to get out.
Very true, really with anything
This master peace ,to learn everyday,,old Nd modern cat,,it's a powerful machine I enjoy,,Kabwe zambia
One of the hardest peace's of equipment to run other than a drag line.
I run an old 160H in Manitoba Canada. Great advice!
Well I learned all of this OJT! How helpful this would have been back then in 1990s
Thanks for the class. I also run a CAT 140G here in Kenya 🇰🇪
Which school did you attend in kenya
Hi from the USA
n\c. is lotso' spots,
I used to run the 140 g nice machine
funny - I recognized this area not far from Ellis, Kansas where I used to run all those dirt roads.
Awesome grading love it love to see other grader skills
Thanks for the lessons. I am a motor grader operator of a 140 G at Del Monte Philippines Inc.
I could possibly see this as a third career choice. Looks like it would be challenging and in many cases you're working alone which I prefer.
Experience is the only thing
80s gotta love it
I run a champion 710a once a month for over 1 mile. Its a great machine but the controls are a little slow
Good job
Gud class indeed

This video has been VIEWED by every CalTrans operator. But nothing has been learned or utilized by ANY CalTrans operator!
I think they use subcontractors
