This looks like a private road to me, I’ve seen quite a few that don’t have drainage ditches. Cutting a road through a forest is easier if you don’t build ditches which can add a lot of time,cost and difficulty. Especially if it was done decades ago.
@@jcar1417 On the family farm we had drainage ditches otherwise the road would be a soupy mess and you would get stuck and huge ruts would form. That time and cost will save you more time since you wouldn't have to go snail pace over nasty ruts, and wait for someone to pull you out if you are stuck when muddy, or just be stuck at home when the road is so muddy you would get stuck.
Does this implement require a lot of hydraulic pressure? It looks like a great attachment for a tractor, but I’m not sure my 3rd function would provide enough flow if it’s rated for skid steers?
Extremely interesting. If somehow you could convert or add that to a construction road roller machine you could have the compaction done at the same time. What a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for caring.
Bob Cat make a actual grader attachment for a skid steer. It has a turn tab like a grader and lift cylinders on both sides just like a grader. I seen a paving company use that.. I have run a full size grader for 25 years. I would buy Bob Cats grader before I would buy that thing you are using there.. I would not waste my money on that ting sorry to say
@@jeremyjones8872 They replicated a real grader. The wheels are further away from skid steer to give you a better grade plus it pulls it's blade not pushing it.. Their is a good reason why a grader pull it blade. You have way more control. When you push the blade you can cause a wash board affect like a bulldozer does What they are using here you can do the same with box scraper... To me that is expensive junk. Plus crowns in a driveway or road is set at 3%.you would see that crown easy not like what they say in this video.. Grader attachments like the BobCat one works very good. Almost as good as a real mini grader
@@exaggeratedphotography4387 Double the usability and the fact it works way better to me makes it way more bang for your dollars.. When it comes to what is best for your dollar, that is not it.. I would never buy that even at half the price sorry
Cool! Like the product, but I think the 6 way dozer blade with grader attachment may be slightly better as it can wind row snow better ( in my assumption judgment)
"I grew up going backwards". Yep Stan...this explains you entirely 😅. Seriously this seems like a must have attachment for anyone with a skid steer and does grading work. Seems very well built. Didn't you do a video on this or something similar in the past? I seem to remember you grading the same road in similar manner.
Called my local dealer here in Maine and they want 13k for the exact same unit minus the the snow attachment and bucket holder...........a little rich for my blood I could handle 10k but not 13k🤦🏼♂
Know this is an old video, but been watching your stuff for a long time and I've got a question. I maintain a half-mile long gravel road along with my neighbors. I've got an SVL65-2 Kubota Skid Loader and a 4-way bucket and am struggling to master getting a nice crown in the road. As a non-commercial equipment owner, I struggle buying an attachment that is a one trick pony, but need something to make grading out the road an easier task and will let me get good ditches at the same time. How would you compare this kind of grading attachment vs a 6-way blade with removable wheels, or some sort of alternate option? Would a tilt-plate get me more because then I could tilt not only my existing bucket, but any other attachment as well? I don't get much snow and when I do my neighbor has a PTO based snow-blow that he uses, so that is low priority for me. Trails, road maintenance, and grading are high on the list as things I do regularly and frequently. Thanks in advance, and keep up the awesome content.
kind of a funny video.... road grader, road crowner, gill rake, & harley rake all in one...., lol, just eyeball it. you shouldn't be able to see the crown.... , might need to set up an instrument or two, love you stan, keep em coming.
Nice tool. Not the most advanced in the world for sure. Sideshift even to one side would be a great option but I imagine that would cost a lot to build.
Problem with pot holes is during winter water will freeze then expand(melt) freeze then expand(melt) so you're spot on about needing to get the water to "run off" (not pool) as the alternative is for it to "settle" and during winter effectively (quite "effectively" in point of fact) break up the compaction of your roadway but of course this be Wisconsin so you have very good soil type out that way as well which enhances this condition. For Pure Perfection still hard to beat even an Old Timey Road Grader as i don't really know of any modern compact designs for such a machine so interesting Jerry Rig using this but in the end the only true solution is to literally dig up every hole and everything around said hole, refill and compact to the maximum extent possible ("patch" in the jargon?)
I haven’t even watched 1 minute Stan and you nailed it , all local councils (don’t know what you call your works depot) could learn something from you Unbelievable great knowledge and understanding of road building more than most civil engineers Keep it up cheers from Aus
This tool is great for a home owner or small driveway. For the amount of lane miles most municipalities have to maintain there is no way this machine would make the cut. Motor graders are far superior for production and versatility in this type of work.
I don't do just one thing. If for example every video was doing the same kind of work or job- my views would climb. Channels that do that have higher view counts than channels that do a variety of projects
Well, I grew up with a McCormick Cub with an underbelly blade, at least with vertical hydraulics, lol. Did a great job keeping things graded (until someone plowed for mom with no skid shoes!!). But, ya still needed to "plan", lol. Thanx !
So 8 months ago you did a video on this grading this road. I’m confused why we see it a second time? The video was even labeled the same and it was similar length.
This would be unreal if they built the twin blades to angle left or right (not just fixed to the left) by adding one hydraulic ram to one side of the exterior of the boxing. The debris bunches up always higher on the left & can see you sometimes need to get rid of the debris on the right side of roads/driveways 🤙
liked the power auger grader you had and seen on jobs. may not want organic in road way but at least it removes pot holes. sometimes a angled 3point scraper blade gives the pitch needed. my dirt driveway since its mixed stone and sand i just rototill and run the 3point or snowplow to level then water and plate compactor
Another point Stan is we use the power rake to shift the bulk of material to the centre, but only rakes with fixed setting front wheels work , try it Cheers
You've got a lot of organic material in there. Nice attachment. Wonder how a Harley rake would have done by comparison.
a harley rake would work wonders on this but wouldn't crown worth a darn.
It is crazy to me see a dirt road with no drainage ditch. The rural areas in my areas every dirt road I have been on had drainage ditches.

All I see is poison ivy when he was back blading the kurf row...I'm surprised I didn't catch it threw the screen...
People have made skiddys so versatile over the years! Its pretty neat! Hope you have a happy 4th! Gonna launch a few boom booms?
Didn't you do this video a while back already?
Does this implement require a lot of hydraulic pressure? It looks like a great attachment for a tractor, but I’m not sure my 3rd function would provide enough flow if it’s rated for skid steers?
not much pressure. The wieight does most of it
Do they make it for a tractor
Absolutely! 3point version is also available

Once you make your adjustments and start your run, don't mess with the adjustments. Because you'll end up with dips and irregularities in the surface.
Man, I'd love to try that attachment out! Also, I would love to see that road after a few big rains come through, lol.
Its been a awhile since I grade that road and she is holding up great.

Why do you say that? What does the bobcat do better that this doesnt? I have never graded in my life so im just wondering why you say it..

Only one blade though not to mention it doesn’t contain the material. Double the price of the Roadrunner Grader.
@@exaggeratedphotography4387 Double the usability and the fact it works way better to me makes it way more bang for your dollars.. When it comes to what is best for your dollar, that is not it.. I would never buy that even at half the price sorry
It is an affordable entry to the market
Cool! Like the product, but I think the 6 way dozer blade with grader attachment may be slightly better as it can wind row snow better ( in my assumption judgment)
I suppose it could do snow better but a dozer is a whole other expense over this plus maintanince
The fact he tried to justify the 10k price and i was thinking it was gonna be upwards of 15k😂

I graded this road last year but that was a flat grade. I didn't crown it
Where does he get such wonderful toys?
This would be better on the back of a tractor.
it mounts on the back of a tractor
This is the kind of video we need to see. This grader is dynamite, you better get one while their hot.
😀👍
Called my local dealer here in Maine and they want 13k for the exact same unit minus the the snow attachment and bucket holder...........a little rich for my blood I could handle 10k but not 13k🤦🏼♂
Call road runner direct. maybe you could get a better deal

You can’t replace a Motor grader
Sometimes you don't need a motor grader
A rear mounted camera would help see what you did behind you just an idea

Much appreciated sir
Didn't you do a video like this a few months ago?
That was flat grading- This was crowning a road
@@Dirtmonkey ah ok. Thank you sir. Keep up the good work and content
Will it work on stones and millings ??
for sure
How is this different from a land plane one would use on a tractor 3 pt hitch?
you can crown with this
Nice tool. Not the most advanced in the world for sure. Sideshift even to one side would be a great option but I imagine that would cost a lot to build.
Just take my money 🤑💰🤑💰🤑

Yep- if water sits on the road it will create a pot hole. It has to run off
Nice piece of equipment and real good work .
Dis is amazing.
Maybe $2500 or $3000 not worth the ten grand price tag.
Looked even more painful than a 3pt blade.
i bet you, i cant grade that road
Looks like a very handy attachment
😀👍
Love the videos

Junk
Hey, take a look at Giordini LG 270P. European version, laser and gps ready;)
Unfortunately I have to point out 1 key step you missed. COMPACTION!!
They doing the poor man compaction method... go over it a bunch of times with the machines.
Need some VO about what you're doing on each pass. Music wasn't too helpful in understanding what was happening.
Finally
I wonder how this does on Rocky Missouri driveway ground?
skip loaders are way more effective if you need one machine to own on a budget
No crown, just bank for snow removal.
I wonder why your video views are so low when you have almost a million subscribers?
I don't do just one thing. If for example every video was doing the same kind of work or job- my views would climb. Channels that do that have higher view counts than channels that do a variety of projects
Is it a re uploaded video cause I swear he did this last year the year before with the same reason equipment
I crowned the road. last year I flat graded it
@Dirtmonkey ok I just wanted to know felt like dasvie
This is a nice attachment. A lot of need in the country

Check out the DoMor Grader. It does this with hydraulics.

will do
Comment
Thank you sir
here to help
Very nice
How does it work in the icy snow to grove up a driveway
Damn well I shoulda watched 30 more seconds
😂
Cats grader blade is by far superior than that box blade. That being said, for the price difference this is probably the way to go.
Can you please drive one of the front wheels into something solid like a stump at full speed?
Flimsy garbage.
no
Would you drive your truck tire into a stump at full speed and take a video of it? Lol😂
If it's hard as concrete it may not be as easy
true
