The basic concept is useful, but this thing is far too light...it was bouncing over marble sized stones and not really achieving anything. Keep working on the design and you'll get there....in the meantime, I'll keep using my grader.
+Robinson Construction We have tested the Road Grader 2400 on numerous terrains. While it performs at it's best on looser surfaces like those shown in the video, it still performs very well on clay surfaces too. Hope this helps
Hmmm everything on this grader is made of somedox hehehe. Anyways, one of your biggest design flaw is the fact it directly connects to the tractor. What you have here is a road duplicator. The front wheels of the tractor moves up and down over bumps and dips and corrigations then it just gets duplicated on your grader. Have you ever wondered why a greader has such a long bar to the front wheels and the blade is situated in the last quater of the machine. This is to minimize the duplicating effect of the front wheels. But yours is even worse as your tractor pivots around its back wheels which worsens the affect. Good thing the tractor has big back wheels, otherwise that also double copies the road conditions.
Ian, good points your making, but the draw bar on the tractor is hydraulically operated giving the operator a lot of control on the front end of the "grader".
Cool ripping idea but even though this thing rips up a lot of dirt it still bounces. then you leave a lot of loose dirt and it turns into washboard when driven on. So I see no total solution. =Bad idea =a waste of steel, energy, and supplies.
Agreed. The body is to long creating a lot of bouncing being it's directly mounted to the tractor. The other two big flaws are the windrows it leaves behind and the claws are not adequately deep enough to reach the bottom of a pot hole or washboard where they usually start. Basically the implement scrapes off a top layer and fills in said pot holes and washboards only leaving them to start all over again the next time it rains. Not effective if your not able to reach the root of the problem.
Nice product. Very useful for smaller road maintenance projects. Very durable also!
Excellent design
Say! That does a really nice job grading that . . . um . . . . already well graded road. :-/
Nice vid!
Nice design - like the ripping teeth idea
It did not look like it was doing much but moving the rocks around.
Hmm lots of wear points. Curious on upkeep
Beautiful
Thank you.

It would have been nice to have it narrated instead of the music.
Like the idea!
I can't believe how dramatic the music is
A mobile clusterflub---but, it WAS, indeed. entertaining...☺
How does it preform on dirt instead of sand?
Hi Lynn, thanks for your message. If you would give me your email address I can ask my colleague to contact you with more information? Thanks.
how well does this do with a more clay base material

It looks like a land plane mated with a grader ....to long will sacrifice maneuverability
