Tires aren't on backward. People have never looked at how they are made. They are designed to grip that way. As a matter of a fact. I used to garden tractor pull. One of the guys from the club reversed his tires just to see what they would do. The tractor went halfway down the track and spun out, where he normally would pull all the way down. It never acted like it was going to bite. It just loaded up the treads with dirt and stopped. Look closer at how they are made. They will angle back allowing it to catch the other tread. Also designed to push dirt or mud outward. Like your water repelling tires on a car.
The machine that brought me and many others to your channel. Probably one of the coolest builds in mini class that I’ve seen! Great job with all your builds! Thank you Frank for letting us all enjoy the journey with you!
What an outstanding little machine you’ve got there! An engineering masterpiece as well! Keep both sides of the mold board on the ground and try to start in one place and keep your passes uniform. Start on the low side in the ditch and sweep your material up to the crown and then back. Two passes on each side should do it unless it’s in really bad shape. There’s a channel here on RUclips called unsealed roads management and they’re out of Australia and if you watch their blade operators it is a textbook example of how it should be done. Best of luck and congrats on remaking the mousetrap! 🇺🇸💪👊
Okay I grew up in around the farming industry and I'm currently like 33 years old still around the farming industry I don't know who's telling you those tires are on backwards but they don't know what they're talking about cuz that's the exact same way the tire shops put them on if they put them on on site and that's the same way you get a tractor when you buy it at a store
Great idea with the trailer hitch and ball to help with the articulation of the blade. I wish I could have one like yours to tool around the neighborhood during bad snowy wintry months and make some cash clearing snow out of driveways
Amazing .... I started out in a Caterpillar 140 to 143 to 163 all wheel drive Cat 14 Dozer .. amazing job Love your toys you know how to live Sir .... 😅 Awesome 👍
I remember when you had just the video of this motor grader. Love that you came back to make more great videos for us. By the way I was The bee man back then changed that Chanel name to Pop's knows and then started this Chanel to keep all the different things I do separate. Love it frank. Thanks again.
The tires are not on backwards that would be for fertilizer and spray rigs out in the field that may have to have the traction for reversing out of wet spots. Otherwise the V of the traction bars should be forward. But like you said in this case being non driven it really doesn't matter.
BTW my man. You do not have the tires on backwards. They are designed to push the mud and water away from the tires. Good job on the motor grader build. It's totally awesome. Thank you for something interesting to watch. Keep 'em coming.
This is the first video of yours that I've seen and, you mentioned you'd built it, I honestly thought the grader was mass produced! You've done a great job and I'm going to go back and watch all the build videos now.
A tip to take care of the leaves before you scape the drive is to take you mower and set the deck height high above the rocks and use the mower to suck up the leaves and blow them off the drive. After several times of scrapping them off you can build up a small berm of the rocks that you inevitably catch with the leaves on the far outside which will keep water in your driveway causing more potholes and washboard to form up instead of letting the water drain off as intended. It took me a while to figure this out for myself on my 3/4 mile driveway that I maintain. I really wish I had the time and ability to make a grader like yours but for now I just use a bixbland and standard scrape blade with manual adjustments on it on my tractor.
I got a cub 1250 if ya want it, has a plow and chain tires that came with it, runs and drives and has second hood with headlights, also has mower deck, has some rust
You should build a blower that can attach to the tractor with the 3 point hitch that you recently put together. Then you could blow the leafs away before grading.
Frank I like all of the stuff you have built, when running an air cooled motor they don't cool well enough at half or 3/4 throttle I've rebuilt thousands of them run it at full throttle doing anything or she will need to rebuild the engine I talking have it bored out by a machinist and then put all new stuff in them.
This is cool, one thought I had as to an improvement you could do to this would be to add spacers on the four rear driving wheels to add more stability to the machine so as to reduce the risk for tipping if you hit a slope or dip while driving it. You don't have to do it though. It is plenty impressive as it is.
The front tyres do indeed need to be turned around. As a drive tyre their mounted as on the rear but as non driven tyre they're reversed. Heavy truck and tractor tyre fitter here.
Ever since my dad bought his first Cub Cadet 128 wide frame with Kohler 12 hp engine back in the late 1980's, we WONT buy anything else but these PROVEN work horses that were FULLY Made In The USA with LEGITIMATE quality and dependability! We have pushed our tractors past the limits which they were made do by the manufacture, and these brutes take a beating and keep asking for more!
I'm going to make me one... I got so many other things that can be added... To make it so much more... I plan to added a pull behind mower and make it a mover .. and add a plow unit and use it as a farm plow...and if it hooks up to ball you can.... Have so many tools that can be used with the one unit..
I've been told that most motor graders run front tires reverse of normal orientation. When I first published a video of the grader, I got lots of comments to that effect.
People claiming that you have your tractor tires on backwards? Then why are my original Ford and Cub Cadet tractor manuals showing my Ford 9n and 8n, and my 1970's Cub Cadet tractors with the treads facing the same direction which you have your tires?
If you look at road graders, many seem to run the front tires opposite of the normal direction. I've seen them both ways, but I understand the majority run the front tires different than the rear tires. I got dozens of comments to that effect, saying they were on backwards, on some previous videos featuring this machine.
Whatever floats your boat…grader not necessary especially if you have blades and/or box in a tractor. For me the juice is not worth the squeeze….Enjoy your grader, chances are it will have limited work in the future for next owner if it doesn’t go w house sale…
If those arent cool fabrications, then what is ! Easily got my thumbs up for the tractors and for the cool video whereby there's no STUPID music and we got to hear the actual sounds of the machinery, tools, processes, person narrating the video, etc !
Frank,
For all the mechhanical marvels you have built, I like this one the best!
It's my favorite, too, but I use the forklift all the time, so it takes honors for most useful.
@@woodandmetalshoptime8048 I can understand that.

yes i am new subscriber 🙂.. good work you did sir, thanks
frank when you built the motor grader you out did your self.what a beautiful machine.
The neighbors must love all your toys.

YOU SIR, ARE A GENIUS!!! AMAZING CREATIVITY
I have always been impressed with the small h.p. engine doing the job that it does. Well done sir!
The lane maintainer did a great job Frank. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful piece of machinery.😁Probably don't need the front tires driven but that would be the icing on the cake😂
Ed c
😮 WOW, Too cool.
I'm going to binge watch the rest of your posts this weekend.
I'm totally blown away.
Thank you.

Поклон и уважение( респект и уважуха) Отличная техника и настоящий мужчина 🤝

It works great! The long wheelbase is most likely what makes it so effective on the washboard.
That needs to be put in production 😊

Thank you but I am absolutely completely out of space right now. I've got like 15 Cubs. I do appreciate the offer.
Yea same with me, I’m out of space with mowers
Very kind offer, generous of you!
You should build a blower that can attach to the tractor with the 3 point hitch that you recently put together. Then you could blow the leafs away before grading.
We have 10 miles of road to rebuild..How's your schedule for the next 2.5 months..✌️😂✌️

Good looking machine. The only thing missing is the Scaffier. Would let you rip out potholes and regrade.
I would love to see a cub cadet articulated 4x4 tractor
That is 100% respectable my friend
This is cool, one thought I had as to an improvement you could do to this would be to add spacers on the four rear driving wheels to add more stability to the machine so as to reduce the risk for tipping if you hit a slope or dip while driving it.

Ten thousand thumbs up Frank!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to make me one... I got so many other things that can be added... To make it so much more... I plan to added a pull behind mower and make it a mover .. and add a plow unit and use it as a farm plow...and if it hooks up to ball you can.... Have so many tools that can be used with the one unit..
Отличные тракторочки.Лайк.
FRANK I THINK YOU SHOULD BUILD A SWEEPER MACHINE TO SWEEP YOUR DRIVE WAY , ALL THE VERY BEST FRANK LOVE ALL YOUR MACHINES.
Out west, we just drag an old tractor tire on a thirty foot chain up and down the road with our old pick-a-me-up truck.
frank think you so much for the old music brother. great video .
Well done it looks awesome 👍
your tyres r the right way m8!!!
I've been told that most motor graders run front tires reverse of normal orientation. When I first published a video of the grader, I got lots of comments to that effect.
Frank what body of water is that or lake..
Have you thought about building a vibrating drum roller ?
Frank I have to ask, would you ever consider selling it? Or any of the other projects like the dozer or fork lift?
He who dies with the coolest toys wins. I'm green, really green.
Super job!! 😮
that is some tractor.very nice
A roller compactor standalone or attachment ?
Soundtrack 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome!
Tires look correct to me.
Respect ❤
Front tires mounted backwards on a motor grader helps it grab better while cutting grades.
Best project, but I bet you can’t put it on the shelf with your cool forklift! 😂
i have the same kubota tactor 8:59
See you next week!

Your tires are not on backwards!
Unless he is grading backwards
Tyre r wrong
It would look factory if it didn’t have that ball hitch
Dono I'm sher if that was the cheep option some factory would use it for a ball mount
If those arent cool fabrications, then what is ! Easily got my thumbs up for the tractors and for the cool video whereby there's no STUPID music and we got to hear the actual sounds of the machinery, tools, processes, person narrating the video, etc !
i'll take one of everything :)
