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
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
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?
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 !! !
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.
tannerbob69 I can't see a bit of difference in that and a 120 but size. A 120 has the same features and isn't as long as a dead snake. It'd be good on a big job but that's all.
It need a push block up front to push dumb ass scraper hands and teamsters bottoms out of the fill. What is the hitch on the rear for, pulling a sheep-foot ?
Just asking the question Is this grader for haul roads on open pit mining, to me it seems like a dozer could have done the work that the grader was doing Seems like the digging it was doing would be harder on the grader, I'm thinking cost wise of this monster versus a cheaper D-7 or 8 just asking the question.
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

gigantic machine !!!! congratulations on the work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Engine sounds fantastic.
That rig can move some material! Wow.
Hmmm !!, is there enough float down the length, I noticed the Banks Man check for clearance when jumping on the Low Boy!!
thank you for the lessons
I would like to plow snow with that machine nice looking older equipment
OK thanks for the update. Thought cat came out with this. I like it
Hy David Coulter
Really cool to see 👀
This Tractor Is a Monster!!!

badass blade...
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?
yup; you guys are on to something. SSSSSwwwwweeeeeett!
Moto nivelado ubrvarco
Muito boa categoria BB
Ingenieria mecánica en su máximo esplendor ,para trabajo duro .
This would make grading the driveway real fast. :P
Great page
mind boggelling!
I wonder if there are any arrow heads in the wind rows
Sem dúvida o trator que mais gosto!
Pretty impressive. Is the back end and motor from a older 988?
Cat already makes a 24, why custom build something similar in size?
cause thats what this company does they gotta few pieces like this
Scrapers love wind rows
Why didn't they use the tongue ramps that usually go with these trailers?
Probably because of the stinger, or whatever the end trailer is. The add on trailer
What kind of trailer were you guys using there? Can you give me details please?
What a beast .
Excelente máquina tremendo bicho muy bueno
Buenas tardes.
Me gustaría ver videos cuando les dan mantenimiento, por ejemplo un cambio de aceite etc.
One huge machine
What a monster!!
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?
Among other things, a big advantage to this machine over the S18G would be operator comfort.
I guess prolly. Take nap.
thank you
Nice unit.
Looks great ...but bigger isn't always better! There are several huge machines have fallen by the wayside.
For example (out of curiosity)?
the champion 80t and 100t for perfect example
BigBud
Gigantesca essa CAT quantos HP?
Dam thats awesome
Quantas toneladas pesa essa 25m? Gostaria de saber essa curiosidade?
Massive machine.
Que saudades de trabalhar de niveladora a minha preferida essa e uma bela maquina
Ela não é a verdadeira 25M da Caterpillar, esse é um projeto desenvolvido pela BRENT'S engenharia! Mesmo assim ficou top!!!
nice, but what did they do to the grader
نفسي اجرب ال 25m ده
أكيد هبدع بيه ❤️❤️💪
The toolbar is attached at the back instead of in front, that should by all rights preload the driving wheels with more weight for better traction.
Probably loaded with calcium and water. Must weigh 2000 pda each
So is this alot bigger then the 24-H&M???
que belleza de maquina❤❤❤
Linda essa máquina viu ❤❤
Great looking but it's not even all-wheel drive, is it?
Was that a Peterbuilt or a Kenworth hooked up to the lowboy trailer 🤔
I want one.... I don't know what I'll use it for, but I want one.
Why?
That’s my kind of haul road grader 💪💪that’s awesome
yes, but does it have cup holders?
t
i know what i want for my birthday :)
eu com uma dessas rummm
Randomtube ,,,
breaststroke
Is it 6wheel drive? If not, why the planetary front axles?
Wonder which junkyard it’s in now.
How may hp,whats the weight?
BUENA MÁQUINA PARA CARRETERA SUPER GRANDES ETC FINISH GRADE PARECE UN D9 EMPUJADO MUCHA TIERRA 👍👍👍👍👍
I'd love to cut blue tops with that beast 😁
Unless your just want to make wind row's for scrapers whats the point?
has it got a aircon?
That would be to cool to run
Besides cup holders''''''' dose it have a coffee maker in 2 ?????????
So is it 6x6 or just 4x6 wheel drive?
Wow, this one is the best grader which I have seen in action :) very strong grader :) is he still active?
Andrea1981 no it’s cut up
@Shane Marzoff, that's a shame
What a brute....would love to climb up there and roll some dirt
Holy cow.
Ai o sistema é bruto
what a beast
Do the front wheels pull on it?
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮Very Big. EQUIPMENT ❤❤❤❤❤❤
the aco grader for one
Badass
How much bigger is it than a 24m?
We had one years ago before cat ever considered such a big blade. it was green, McCoys owned it: 1990s
Can do a lot of leveling jobs WITHOUT a dozer now? That was moving a LOT of dirt. A double lane oversize load, wow.
that is one serious fucking big grader ,,,looks like it's working good too
Muscle machine great in mining application 👍
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 !! !
You could do the same job much faster and with less cost using scrapers.
Am F-350 front plow and two wings
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.

:-o you could grade a 4 lane highway with that
Eso hechos jfjfnnnnmmmnmnnmmmmmmmJnnjh ngn
dont know much about grading but what can this do that makes it so much different from the cat 24 m
tannerbob69 I can't see a bit of difference in that and a 120 but size. A 120 has the same features and isn't as long as a dead snake. It'd be good on a big job but that's all.
+tannerbob69 weight, raw hp, smaller blade, tires its a frankenstein of several machines
Now that's a blade
So how is a motor grader better at leveling ground than a bulldozer? Just asking.
That machine has to be 960000 WoW big but a great tool in the indrusterey.
They paid the truck rental its weight in Gold.
Wouldnt a D9 do the same thing but faster?
Super.
Are you going to try to get the D57T next? Or is it still in Canada?
yeah its up north here it hasnt moved in years
I didn't think a hole lot of people new about the d57t
💛
Why no Ripper assembly??????
Brandon Cheney too big i guess
Brandon Cheney xj
Dkd
Brandon Cheney 1jwhddjd uns eye
The purchaser didn’t check the option box
It would split the earth.
The only thing it would be good for is haul roads in a mine
...or the giant field that this one is in.
Be awesome for parking lot grading, initial road bed subgrading...ex.
That thing wouldn't fit in the mines I used to work in ....hell my tire truck barely would fit thru the portal at one of them
Stephen Brown o
The only place I’ve seen one used is on mine haul roads. They are VERY impressive when one is in the shop!!
That's not a standard blade. It looks like you guys welded 2 or 3 D5 blades together.
Is that prairie ron running this relic!
tw yeoman, Ron is my cousin
Monster patrol 👊🇧🇷
*falta uma dessas na minha prefeitura...*

It was made for a large highway construction project

what engine in that monster
How many tons this is ?
Put a big set of rippers on the back of the grader & it will look mean
