Yep, I have hooked steps and put gouges in the tyres. Luckily for me I realised before I did too much damage. Do need to stop and clean the gravel from around the slide/side shift cylinder often when you are back blading in the forward direction, Vern? Great video btw.
@onlyamillionmistakesvernky7937 No worries, like I said, would've made an effort to say hi in person when I was over there in 2019 ,if I had of known about your channel before hand.
Hi Adrian, any gravel will fall off when you turn the blade back to "normal" I like your profile picture, it's you sitting in your locomotive. That's what we call then in Canada.
@onlyamillionmistakesvernky7937 going to Wawick SW Queensland this weekend to get reacquainted with this very Locomotive. First time in 4yrs back on the footplate as a refresher to be a fireman and eventually a Driver for this private volunteer railway. Cheerio
It sure feels good to be normal again! Well put Vern, and applicable across so many of life's conditions. After all, isnt one who drives a blade day after day displaying a conditioned normalcy for his or her blade? I happen to think that would feel very good. So good in fact that I am looking forward to your next episode! -Bob...
Vern What happens when the streets are ready and paved, what happens to the lots where the houses are going to be located, are they filled and leveled by the same company?
The lots are surveyed, and the grading work is done by the same company that did the underground work. They need to pay attention to "back of lot" grades, because that is where the lot may coincide with a lane, or a swale. Sometimes I will blade the lots with the grader in my spare time. By blading the lots, it encourages people to park on the lots, rather when on the street that we are trying to build. It's a good question, Thanks.
Vern, that story about the backwards blading the thin windrow is GENIOUS! just to clarify, you turned your blade around, then graded in forward gear right? Was the windrow small enough that it wasnt getting into the blade slide cylinder & scuffing it up? I know that bounce all too well, i find a bit of articulation really helps when laying the gravel out. I generally blade my windrows out in 4th gear when its good going. However if im trying to cut/windrow loose material that isnt compacted very well, it can be horrible! I havent figured out a remedy for that yet. Haha I believe its to do with the independent front suspension on the grader. Your front tires can go up & down all they want, without directly effecting the blade very much. But them back tires though.. thats where the problems arise. Thanks for the video!! I always look forward to your uploads. Take care Vern!

Hi Eric, it's true, back blading can put a few nicks in the "blade slide cylinder" but for me I think it's worth it. Thanks for the input.
Это когда время свободного много и никто неторопит
I have ripped the step off from backing and turning the circle not watching its position.
Oh yes, it can happen.
