I've been waiting for this video since you first mentioned getting the grader. I like it! On a side note, Kleeman saw his shadow so that means 6 more weeks of Dirt Perfect videos.

I've done dirt and sewer work for 30 sum years and that is one of the best implements I have seen for a skid steer. you should be happy with grader, nice find and a good buy.

Glad to see the captain making an appearance, grader seems decent, I think we can probably make it better though, overall I grade it a C. 😁

I am a little bit disappointed that someone didn’t take the hand shovel and knock that little bit of grass off the crack where the driveway met the roadway. Love the show keep up the good work!👌😊

A small rack and a few tractor weights mounted to mold board frame will increase the down force, this helps cutting hard material and you can increase grading speed.

Wow that works great for you. Now all you need is a roller to pack it. Great video thanks for sharing

Great driveway. Excellent idea, grader attachment for skid loader. Perfect size for your operation. Laid down tens of thousands of loads with grader, dozer. Prefer thick. And Driver, don’t leave gaps, lol. That Mylar fabric is amazing stuff, need about 4 inches on it to really start working. Maybe we need that Driver down the street to show us how it’s done? LW. LOL.

That attachment is definitely going to pay for itself ! I was surprised at how well it worked, certainly going to safe time for you.

After I got my grader att. The next thing I bought was a vibratory roller made by Cat. I did a lot of driveways so it worked out very well. Good luck it looks like you got the hang of it. Very good

I have a brand new Kubota SVL 95-2s with a Bobcat 108” grader 8way function. It requires a super controller to operate smoothly. I use it manually or with laser control. I was skeptical about it at first, but I quickly fell in love with it. Happy grading!!!!!!

Hey Mike. That grader is awesome. You did really good for someone that sucks on a skid steer. Good video. Keep them coming.

Great video! Looking forward to seeing more of the new grader!!

Good job I really like them my self. Just got to get used to using them. Makes work alittle simpler.

I gotta say the grader attachement looks a lot more useful than I expected ! In the vid when you went and got it I was thinking you were going to be real disappointed but this vid seemed to show it preforming really well ! I didn't think it would be heavy enough , granted this was all loose material but Your other equipment is for the initial heavy work this will make the finish work better appearing and faster maybe ! A little tweaking and you're in business for a reasonable price ! You can always trade up when you out grow,this one , I,might be interested ! Thanks for the video

Looks like you got a workable solution. You keep with the skid steer and you’ll really like it. Keep bringing the good videos you and Captain

I bet grader sales will be going up now. That works great and the skid steer pushes it very nice. It makes me think I need one.

Awesome video with camera attached to grader.👍👍👍

I believe mike u would really like the dozer blade for the skid steer. Just remember it's not a dozer. I'm just saying this as u just bought this for ur skid steer. I like the grader attachment. The thing I do like is the dozer blade, mostly I use it for spreading stone, but the bucket works just as well if not better some times. I'm not sure what the goats in the grass had to do with a grade attachment pushing rocks or dirt but it was what ever.

First time I ever saw that attachment, and I ran a bobcat for years. I like it a lot. Show us more

I was just thinking they were a bit light in size. I think it was intended to do on dirt not a nasty rock road. I think double size would provide more back pressure and stand up. Hold position.

That grader attachment looks to be handier than a pocket on a Dirt Perfect shirt. Which I have never seen do anything yet by the way. 😉 It certainly showed its strength once you weren’t trying to grade out baseball sized and bigger rocks. I’ve only ever played around on a grader but have heard that a grader is THE most difficult piece of road building equipment to master. Perhaps it could be on your list of machines to operate when you embark on one of your Dirt Perfect on the Road trips you mentioned in the live stream.

wow that grader is nice when you get the wiring in to the joy stick then it will be sweet

I am learning so much about dirt that it is interesting. You put the camera in the most coolest places!

You must fly a drone. That was some of the finest work with a new untested toy I've seen in my 73 years of life an fifty years construction. Good I/hand control, you sin't no nubie on it and it looks like a driveway when done. I am going to wait for the sequel where a hand reaches down and tosses rocks/LOL

Yeah. That grader attachment works well on the driveways. Good choice.

That worked great! Yes rule number one listen to the tracks 🤣 love the Captain Kleeman commentary too! Awesome job as always! That took some coordination to run that thing I bet! Oh yeah first comment! Boom! 😎🤣

Worked better than I thought it would, seemed kinda short to do a good job of leveling but once again I'm wrong. Get it hooked up to your joy stick will be much easier than the toggle set up seems to me.

We bought one of those like 3 years ago lasers are all outdated but my son rigged it up kind of like what you got does a hell of a job for us doing driveways Mike

Mike the float is very tricky.. right joystick finger button you have to push it down both down at the same time for it to work..then it will be highlighted on the monitor.. hope thus helps

Good Grader work Mike .like it .

Yea boy, I like it! That grader blade will dress out your projects nicely.

I just stopped the video to say this...just about the time you started up with that grader attachment and you were fiddling with those toggle switches I said..."you're gonna like this thing..." and I was right...despite the learning curve and the hydraulic problem it's gonna be a winner for you...now you know what jerry was going thru when he was dealing with that crap coming out of the basement...now back to the show...

Good vidja ! Glad to see the grader working for ya !!!

Sometimes - as you well know - you see people that just aren't cut out to be operators - of Anything! lol - I'm thinking that was the case with the seller of that grader attachment. He was probably very frustrated - much like your 1st pass - when shit's the roughest - wheels whippin' every which way - then after a couple passes and getting a true feel for it - she starts to come in-line! In the right hands - this attachment is GOLD! Nice Score! I bet you could even get a scarifier implement ahead of the blade on a 4th cylinder?!

U did a great job on leveling up dirt and gravel I think once u get electrical hooked to skid steer will be better u can handle it better

If you had the seal kits, you could have resealed those cylinders in the time it took those last two trucks to show up. Glad that you are happy with it. Now you will be looking for ways to use it.

Mike your new grader is slicker than snot on a shovel handle😉 Great video👍

I think you have a winner!

Nice video Mike ! I liked all the camera angles. Those blade attachments do work pretty good we have one almost identical to yours with the laser automation on it for fine grading. We just don't use it as much as we did a few years ago.

Always wondered how they would work never been around one in operation. Nice job Mike thanks for the video 👍🏻

Great grader.... I thought you got that fill from a rock quarry... I have a grader and it doesn’t like rocks.... especially big ones... LOL 😂 you actually got skills.. even though you don’t wanna brag. I run a super controller on a SVL 95-2s with a Bobcat 108” grader. I wish Kubota would update the joystick controls to increase attachment performance. Happy grading!!! Thanks

You did a really good job. I would recommend watching a few "tips and tricks" vids on operating a grader to shorten the learning curve.

Well mike I think it’s going to work extra well for you a bit of fine tuning and you have a big winner, I think even captain kleeman could operate it , with some practice , the rock are a pain but that dirt is dry and packed ,so fresh soil look out.

Thanks for the video, this sold me.

this little grader , reminds me of the small graders we had in vietnam they were air liftable and we used them for leveling helo pads and also landing zones if you staand back at a distance, they looked almost like them some were allis chalmbers and some gallion also worked for a place that had one and had to use it every winter to grade the mud off the road nice rigs that had a purpose and worked well

Running the old mennonite switch box, we use them on our dirt pans/ejector buckets and our kefler blades. Once you get use to them, you never want to turn back!

Enjoyed this video bro, yep does a nice job bro. Safe travels

I don’t know if you can get stingers for your blade or not I’ve never seen an attachment like that for skid steers, I’ve only ever operated the big ones, John Deere 672A - 672B - 772CH, IMO I think stingers are better than a straight blade because I think they move material across the blade better but that’s just my opinion..Anyways great video...

I have to say it was a good investment cause it looks really handy doing the driveway. Keep up the great videos

Great attachment Mike! Going to save you some time and deliver professional results. WIN WIN for the "Dirt Perfect Team" Nice job on the video, work safe, good luck with the cylinder repacks and the wiring interface to your Kabota Doug@ the "ranch"

Great video. Thank you.

The previous owner of that grader needed a grader, but was embarrassed to be seen with a Bobcat attachment. I don't blame him. Nifty attachment at a reasonable price.

Cool new toys. Make the job easier.

Hey Chris, look I can grade too, and it didn't cost me as much lol, great job!

The grader attachment looks good Mike 👍🇺🇸

Looks like a keeper. But those toggle switches.. you gotta do something about that 😉. Thanks for the video!

That thing is gonna pay for itself in no time Michael, it’s a bummer about that busted seal but that’s totally fixable!!🤔😃👍 It’s a shame they didn’t use a turntable system like on a road grader , I think you would have a bit finer adjustment , but I’m sure it would make it heavier too!🤔 Love the videos as always , I can’t wait for a new one , it’s kinda like an addiction lol !!🙂👏👏😉🤦🏻‍♂️😆

Good vid and good piece of equipment. Thanks for showing sir.

That's a cool attachment looks like it works pretty well.

It looks almost like you know what you're doing! I think that new toy is a good thing to have all around.

I think you wand the blade angled so the rocks will roll off the end that does not have the guard on the end of your board

Have you ever ran a grader? I’ve never used an attachment like that on a skid steer. Looks fun. Love to see more videos of grader attachment. Maybe even cylinder rebuilding

As always, love the camera angles.

Looking forward seeing more videos of it working

They put the smart driver in front and let the others follow so they dont get lost. Nice job on the driveway, didn't expect it to do as well as it did. I'm sure it was my operator skill than the equipment lol. 🍻

Do you think that works better then just using the dozer? Then just back drag your grouser marks out.

One more lesson - replace worn out tracks while the weather is nice, because if you don't, they'll be well and truly shot when the temps are subzero. :-)

Grader attachment with built in liquid dust control unit 🤔

How much they allowed to bring over there? 20 ton ? It definitely takes along time on jobs due to DOT. Ky at one time was looking to ease weight restrictions on everything but coal. Due to those trucks don't go same route everyday . But it got shot down. My uncle used to run an offroad mack for gravel truck an being in 60 ton a trip.

Love it going to have to own one.

Good truck drivers will never leave gaps in rock. Sucks grading if they do

Correct me if im wrong but dont you set them graders up with a lazer lever! Though you dont have to move the blade up and down thought the lazer grader does all that for you? I thought you only have to swipe the material left and right

That looks like an awesome attachment ! Good video.

Wow that's awesome, I've never even seen one of those attachments. It'll pay for itself in no time

That attachment works great with that track machine. You'll be dangerous now 😂. At least you got captain kleeman as a rockhound

That was awesome it worked great considering how much rock you sent to the driveway hahaha Love listening to kleeman too funny

ahh building road been doin alotta that myself latly ! nice work sunshine as always !!!!!

thats a cool contraption !!!!

Looks to me like the grader worked a treat! Even with all the big rock, the vid looks like a nice clean cut. The finished grade reminds me of the county roads to my grandfathers farm. Nice!

As usual awesome job.

Can you explain to me the concept of the front wheels on the grader. To me it seems if they drop into a hollow, the blade goes down with it. How do you get a flat surface if the front wheels are following the road contour, thus the blade is doing the same thing. |I get that the operator can raise and lower the blade, but I doubt he can do it quick enough if the wheels drop into a pot hole and the blade digs into the road.

👍 looks good

Check out this guys video to see one way that you might be able to wire up the grader for your 14 pin coupler Mike. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMxdjNipvbybaXU.html

Drive way slicker then snot on a door knob thanks Mike

that blade is gonna be handy, we started using ours to bluetop building pads and finally got the concrete gangs to quit hanging their forms in the air so they didnt have to pick out and hand grade so much.

What brand grader? Looks sturdier than some I’ve seen

That's a slick little machine

That grader attachment looks like it works good.

Dang DP didn't know you like racing gocart YOU AND WADE FAMILY HAVE GOT PRETTY PLACE. Thanks DP from Carrollton georgia

what kind of landscape fabric is that the stuff I bought was suposed to be heavy duty drove over it with pick up and it fell apart

That doesn't awesome job I can see where that would come in very very handy throughout the years did a good job so far

Good friend of mine has one of those we run on a 299 cat. Really want to try it on the 906h2 wheel loader I have at the plant. Going to watch the video on how you rigged up that controller real quick

Great job.👏🏻👏🏻👍

Like the new tool. Actually it's a great tool.

That's a nice little attachment.

Dang you got that thing down pat. If you ever go the laser way, look up ‘sharpgrade leveller’ built in NZ but they export round the world, they’re really popular

Been there and done that. You would be dollars ahead buying a blade with wheels like that for ur tractor.

There is a 6 way dozer blade attachment for skid steers.

Definitely need to fix the controls for that thing. I've seen them used but never used one. From what I've seen of people using them they seem to work good. I think you got the hang of it fast and did a very nice job. 👍 I think your helper needs a shovel in his hand instead a camera so he could shovel the grass off the edge of the road. Also how much do you lap the edge of the fabric under the other when you have a joint? The people I worked for had me do 12 to 18 inches. I'm just curious as to what other people do. 👍

Good investment, especially at that price
