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
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?
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?
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.
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
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 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
That's a lot of machine just to get a Moldboard 1 foot wider (unless they're using the number designation for something else). It looks like they used a 992 as the basis of it and built a big front frame for the rest, and all for just one more foot added to the blade?. Can someone that may have been around this machine elaborate some more?. Also, am I the only one worried about the operator breaking grade? Haha
(I speak from ignorance) I always thought bulldozers were for large scale, low precision, HEAVY work, and graders for final finish and accurate work. And yet this is a HEAVY (massive!) grader. Please educate me.
Unfortunately Champion proved 35 years ago that bigger isn't better with the t-80/t-100's. Cat won't go any bigger than the 24m as after that size they become unproductive . Proof is where this machine currently sits - in the bone yard of PrB with the engine removed . The S18G is a much better designed machine for this aplication - though I sure would love to plow some snow with this !!!!!!!
It was just west of Edmonton Alberta, but when I was last there, its all gone. PRB is no more, so not sure what happened to all their equipment. You can still see it sitting there on google earth, with the engine removed.
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.
The no ripper thing is kinda stumped me,no hydraulics or any indication you could have one.WEIRD! Makes it half a grader in my opinion,so it should be cheaper I guess???,bigger is not always better.my old 24h has the snort and less problems by far than my 24m it's just operator friendly with a price.
And that's what happens when companies want to save money by only paying 1 worker to the do the job that was previously done by 4.. Kinda like how fast food companies will buy machines to flip burgers instead of paying people who demand $15 an hour to lick taco shells that other people are supposed to eat.
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.
that's cool looking piece of equipment I would only be good for moving snow on a dirt road, you back roads it would be to heavy for 98% of the bridges on farm market roads, but it would be great for haul roads, n I see someone asked if it had cup holders, my question is does it come with an ash tray? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cool video my compliments sir
I see every time that thing needs to be moved break out the company credit card as it will be spendy. Very spendy as lowboy setups and rates for moving that much weight are off the chart. The other thing is that it's fuel consumption for all that Cat Power has got to be right up there as well, being measured in gallons per hour (like a similar sized Cat loader only most likely this thing being thirstier) vs yards of dirt moved. And if you have to ask you can't afford this beast either. Oh and Cat might not sell a lot of these behemoths but you can bet your bottom dollar that this won't be a "one-off" either with more to come custom ordered (and updated) and paid for when delivered, no doubt. Development costs had to be as big as the machine. This is unit #1 with more to come. Not many but more than one otherwise this would never pencil out. Impressive machine none the less.
this wasn't made by CAT, it was done by Brent Engineering in California. Not very likely you will ever see another one, as I'm sure there are a pile of lawsuits regarding this machine and the 2 other customs they built!
Would like to know what they’re trying to do here with this piece of property. Looks like a pan scraper could do a better job and move the dirt a lot more efficiently. Seem like a poor advertisement for such a big machine.
This thing ain’t nothing but a gawky wheeled dozer. Why build a grader that pushes the blade instead of pulling it? Probably costs what 4 D6’s which would be better suited all the way around.

gigantic machine !!!! congratulations on the work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Engine sounds fantastic.
That rig can move some material! Wow.
Wonder which junkyard it’s in now.
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.
This Tractor Is a Monster!!!
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?
mind boggelling!
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
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
@@frobinson7574D575
Is it 6wheel drive? If not, why the planetary front axles?
This would make grading the driveway real fast. :P
Great looking but it's not even all-wheel drive, is it?
OK thanks for the update. Thought cat came out with this. I like it
Hy David Coulter
I want one.... I don't know what I'll use it for, but I want one.
Why?
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
That’s my kind of haul road grader 💪💪that’s awesome
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.

Unless your just want to make wind row's for scrapers whats the point?
We had one years ago before cat ever considered such a big blade. it was green, McCoys owned it: 1990s
yes, but does it have cup holders?
t
i know what i want for my birthday :)
eu com uma dessas rummm
Randomtube ,,,
breaststroke
That's not a standard blade. It looks like you guys welded 2 or 3 D5 blades together.
que belleza de maquina❤❤❤
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
What a beast .
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
Scrapers love wind rows
yup; you guys are on to something. SSSSSwwwwweeeeeett!
Moto nivelado ubrvarco
Muito boa categoria BB
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!!!
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
Really cool to see 👀

@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
Can do a lot of leveling jobs WITHOUT a dozer now? That was moving a LOT of dirt. A double lane oversize load, wow.
I would like to plow snow with that machine nice looking older equipment
nice, but what did they do to the grader
Sem dúvida o trator que mais gosto!
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
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!!
How may hp,whats the weight?
Ingenieria mecánica en su máximo esplendor ,para trabajo duro .

that is one serious fucking big grader ,,,looks like it's working good too
I wonder if there are any arrow heads in the wind rows
(I speak from ignorance)
I always thought bulldozers were for large scale, low precision, HEAVY work, and graders for final finish and accurate work.
And yet this is a HEAVY (massive!) grader.
Please educate me.
This grader would be good for maintaining haul roads at large mining operations
What a brute....would love to climb up there and roll some dirt
Put a big set of rippers on the back of the grader & it will look mean
Question: What can you grade with this thing?
Answer: Anything you want to.
Lol yeah. Put it on a haul road in a mine that's in a -40 cold snap. Even the rippers can't do much on some surfaces.
I graded peanut butter on my toast with it, worked pissah
They paid the truck rental its weight in Gold.
Was that a Peterbuilt or a Kenworth hooked up to the lowboy trailer 🤔
What a monster!!

djteak
Man, I'd like to see the carcass! Where is this "bone yard"? I ran 14s&16s in construction and snow plowing in Wyoming. This blade looks like a beast!
Hartmut Tausend 0f
It was just west of Edmonton Alberta, but when I was last there, its all gone. PRB is no more, so not sure what happened to all their equipment. You can still see it sitting there on google earth, with the engine removed.
Do you know the story of this thing? It obviously wasn't built by Cat. Why did they build it? just for one specialised contract?
One huge machine
So is this alot bigger then the 24-H&M???
I think there will be no bigger grader in Cat's production line ... l guess he'll produce only one in the world right?
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
So how is a motor grader better at leveling ground than a bulldozer? Just asking.
Massive machine.
If u closey its a 988f loader back end and geat work building the front end
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮Very Big. EQUIPMENT ❤❤❤❤❤❤
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 ?
نفسي اجرب ال 25m ده
أكيد هبدع بيه ❤️❤️💪
BUENA MÁQUINA PARA CARRETERA SUPER GRANDES ETC FINISH GRADE PARECE UN D9 EMPUJADO MUCHA TIERRA 👍👍👍👍👍
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.
It was made for a large highway construction project
Excelente máquina tremendo bicho muy bueno
Great page
I know this piece of equipment cost a lot of money
Huawei Samsung Huawei is a great product for for the
"Brent" rhymes with "Inch" as in "The angry inch". 25M is legit.
Чувствуется моща! Я работаю на Жондир 662 G, эта машинка уже не из лёгких грейдеров, но это дура.
I'd love to cut blue tops with that beast 😁
Dam thats awesome
Muscle machine great in mining application 👍
The no ripper thing is kinda stumped me,no hydraulics or any indication you could have one.WEIRD! Makes it half a grader in my opinion,so it should be cheaper I guess???,bigger is not always better.my old 24h has the snort and less problems by far than my 24m it's just operator friendly with a price.
What kind of trailer were you guys using there? Can you give me details please?
No Volvo! Which was once Champion Road Graders ( Goderich Ontario)
Junk. CAT is the best grader
Haul Roads but the speed and turning radius ? 16M would put it to shame
I would like to see the operator inside the cab and how he operates the grader
thank you
Nice unit.
Besides cup holders''''''' dose it have a coffee maker in 2 ?????????
That would be to cool to run
That machine has to be 960000 WoW big but a great tool in the indrusterey.
And that's what happens when companies want to save money by only paying 1 worker to the do the job that was previously done by 4.. Kinda like how fast food companies will buy machines to flip burgers instead of paying people who demand $15 an hour to lick taco shells that other people are supposed to eat.
:-o you could grade a 4 lane highway with that
Eso hechos jfjfnnnnmmmnmnnmmmmmmmJnnjh ngn
Gigantesca essa CAT quantos HP?
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

More than likely.
Buenas tardes.
Me gustaría ver videos cuando les dan mantenimiento, por ejemplo un cambio de aceite etc.
Why no Ripper assembly??????

That and the fact that this machine no longer exists. it has been "disassembled" and scrapped
Would like to know what they’re trying to do here with this piece of property. Looks like a pan scraper could do a better job and move the dirt a lot more efficiently. Seem like a poor advertisement for such a big machine.
They are testing the machine. That is all. They hauled it a few miles from their shop to the test field to make sure she runs
The only difference between men and boys is the price and size of their toys! Everything you all have is super sized.
just looks like a modified front end loader with a big long attachment.
This thing ain’t nothing but a gawky wheeled dozer. Why build a grader that pushes the blade instead of pulling it? Probably costs what 4 D6’s which would be better suited all the way around.
Mercy sakes! That things a monster. Cool toy!
has it got a aircon?
