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!

Thanks I appreciate hearing that and I generally go 3 to 5.5 mph speed really depends on conditions. Thanks for watching!

That’s good to hear your learning every day always have the drive to keep learn I’ve been operating a blade for 18 years and learn something every day got to have an open mind good luck and feel free to ask any questions thanks for watching!

I do offer training myself where about are you located at? That definitely does sound like a battle but it definitely can be changed with a lot of work if you like send me an email @ graderman140m@gmail.com thanks for watching!

I will have video of the tiller in action in a couple of weeks here it’s a 7ft king cuter tiller.

Thank you thanks for watching!

So I don’t worry about the organic material contaminating the gravel in lot of the grass will blow away and the little topsoil will kinda glue the gravel back together it’s not as good as clay but it works so that’s my thoughts on it thanks for the question and thanks for watching!

There’s not a huge difference between my old 140m3 and this new 150 love having the new machine to operate.

Happy to hear that thanks for watching!

You’re welcome I thanks for watching!

In this situation I’d rather articulate do to I’m still up on the road and I don’t have really steep ditches. If I’m doing a complete shoulder pull and the ditches are steep and I can’t put my machine in the ditch that’s when I pull saddle pin and do it that way hope this explains it better thanks for watching!

I get asked this a lot and generally reason I’m pulling shoulders in is road has poor gravel on it and is dusted out so I’m looking to get some dirt clay to lock the poor material together it definitely gets sloppy and a big mess first couple of rains but eventually it will come out of it and sometimes might not have to put any new material on it. I don’t really worry about people complaining and bitching they do it no matter what I’m lucky enough to have supervisors that understand this process and they explain it to the people that it’s a process and have to make a big mess before it gets better hope this helps thanks for watching!

@@graderman140m I hear ya, thanks for the feedback! you really have a great way of explaining things

Thanks I appreciate that and thanks for watching!

Thanks when I first took over this township there was 5 to 6 inches of curb on each side I’ve used the shoulder disc on it last 4 years and finally getting them to where there supposed to be thanks for watching!

We never got any bids on the old machine so we traded it in it went to our local butler cat dealer in Sioux Falls.

@@graderman140m I should of put in a $100 bid! Damnt. Ha

@@cruch9 lol yeah no kidding unfortunately don’t think they would of accepted that if I remember right we got 215,000 for our old machine on trade

Thanks I appreciate that, yes it suer is I feel very fortunate to live and work where I do. Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome thanks for watching!
