The crazy thing is I pulled shoulders on this mile and won’t be adding any more material I normally put 3inches down after I pull shoulders. Thanks for watching!

I’m running second gear to start laying it out once I have my crown established somewhat I will shift up to third and idle back average speed is around 2.8 to 3.5 mph I run my tires at 45psi seems to balance out good at that although I find every machine is different. Thanks for watching!

@@graderman140m copy. I had a chance to pull shoulders and reshape about a quarter mile of road. I only have about 250hrs in a blade but it turned out real nice. Made a flat wide runway into a crowned road that's much easier to maintain. When I established the crown I was going slow and was wondering if I should be going faster. It's a lot to keep track of when you're trying to get 4% and maintain a good load across the full width of the moldboard etc. I have a tire that's out of round and I've been running at 60 PSI in the rear and 45 in the front. Unfortunately The oblong tire is in the rear. I'm going to try taking some air out of it to see if that helps. Usually if I'm carrying a heavy load it's not as noticeable. Thx for the videos. Don't worry about your camera. It is hard to see the depth but that's ok. You're an operator not a camera man.

Thanks and yes it is I love being able too watch a project come together and have a great final product thanks for watching!

I’m running carbides I do have a set of stingers I use in the spring and while prepping for dust control. Thanks for watching!

Yes I take my front fenders off when I pull shoulders or do dirt work otherwise yes you end up tearing them off so just easy to take them off quick. Thanks for watching

I thought about mowing and I would of if I didn’t have the tiller but since I had the tiller to pulverize and mix all the material I figured I could get buy with out mowing it and it worked really good. Thanks for watching!

I appreciate the feedback I’m still growing the channel and all I have is a GoPro camera I’m also no where near a videographer I’m a grader operator I will try and do better thanks for watching!

I was doing motor grader training during the day so had to prep a couple of roads for dust control and it got dark on me so nice to have good lights.

@@graderman140m Absolutely! Definitely takes a lot of the guesswork out of it when you have good and proper illumination. Even better when your light package is strong enough to turn night into day for you!

Thank you and thanks it’s a very nice grader just got it in February this is my 18th year of operating a grader really enjoy it thanks for watching!

I normally go around 2 to 4 mph generally go slower at first to get crown established then I can go a bit faster just takes time. Thanks for watching!

Thank you and I can believe that I really enjoy working out in the country and yes very satisfying seeing a road come together thanks for watching!

I’m happy that you think that I’ve found doing it this way you keep your road way shape and roads preform so much better thanks for watching!

What area are you located in? I do motor grader training for the local LTAP program here in South Dakota

Central Minnesota..Stearns county...I've showed the township supervisors your videos. They can't even operate the reclaimer right. They leave a 2 to 3 inch lip along the road. No common sense.

Thank you and I’m normally by myself for everything but I have extra help when I pull shoulders I have a a guy in the tractor and a guy driving water truck really makes pulling shoulders so much better your welcome I enjoy posting the videos thanks for watching!

Thanks Jim yes I really like the new machine got 250 hours on it so far and I’m using the sharq edges on this machine there a solid steel edge I use them when I pull shoulders and your welcome for the video thanks for watching!

Thanks I’ve been told that before and yes it suer does take a lot of seat time to be able to do projects like this I’m on my 18th year of operating so got a few hours in the seat your welcome thanks for watching!

Thanks and I thank you for watching!

@@graderman140m I wish you could show the local grader drivers what to do here. They just throw the loose stone over the bank and not mix it with dirt again.

Maybe it’s because they are having a lot of trouble with the 150 awd. We have two and a third on its way. If the third one is going to be a lemon we will be forced to go to deer. First one we got two years ago we had turbo failure along with a dead hole at 1200hrs and now at 3300 hrs they are replacing injectors. The second one we have has 500 hours on it and it has two separate wiring harnesses fail so it just got loaded up and went in for repair as they need to pull motor and transmission to replace wiring harness!!!! And now maybe things wouldn’t hurt so bad if customer service was good but it’s a joke up here in Saskatchewan

We have been told that the new cab is 2 years away

I take an Emory cloth clean my pin holes up then spray the spray on graphite I use on the circle and sliding moldboard in the pin holes to keep them from rusting and keep them moving freely.

No I don’t just use the nuts have never had an issue with them losing up either

@@graderman140m sounds good my old 14d had them when I changed edges last year I took them out and just used nuts then washers was wearing into the back of the frog. Thanks for the reply! 👍

@@opictia I have seen them used if the frog has been worn in to the bolt holes before if it’s not worn really no need for them and your welcome thanks for watching!

@@graderman140m gotcha thanks for the help!
