Started on 120G just got 150m. Have operated graders 40 hrs a week for 21 years and still learning.

Wearing a Kumatsu logo on your vest when running a Cat grader is classic

I got thrown onto an old John Deere 770a today. I was shown how to start it and make it move... Then six hours on a dirt pile trying to figure out what everything did. Levers, pedals and knobs everywhere! This was a great video. Kinda gave me an idea of what to shoot for.

I'm an operator of motor grader with over 8 years of experience I'm brazilian and I'm fluent in english I love this profession

The way I love this machine, despite people telling me it's meant for the males only,I still went ahead and gave it a try and guess what,it has been my greatest achievement ever🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

When I was a wee little kid graders were my favorite. this video is pleasing the 5 year old in me

You can also use the rear steer articulation and do a popsicle turn if you’re in tight quarters to grader the other way if you don’t want to reverse.

I Am A Excavator Operator.I Am Fascinated With This.I Am Definitely Learning This Machine...

Thanks for this video I’ve been hauling for 3.5 years for United Rentals and just today hauled my first motor grader!

Hi I like the procedure and have learned a lot big up.viewing from Kenya.

Thank you so much for sharing this. You guys are awesome, much love from Germany

Best way to look at it is 'a finishing dozer' with a LOT of extra blade controls (and better viewpoint)...at least, with the new ones. Old ones still had more adjustments...but I don't really think the viewports were any better (especially when you had to have as spotter just to guide and direct you)... Good intro...LOT of experience required...and it's really easiest if you come 'off the seat of a dozer' (as a career) to start working graders...cuts the 'learn time' way down (versus being an excavator or roller or loader operator, first).

Well...best video i've watch for today, I'm not heavy equipment operator but I love to see those machine work and how to operate them.... I'm from Indonesia, keep it up...looking forward for another training video.

Over the years in chronological order I’ve been on the 120G,140G, Champion 720 & 740 Series II, III, IV, and V, Volvo G730 & G740, Cat 14 & 16M, my latest ‘ride’ is a 6WD John Deere 772GP. I think back to the Cat 14E & F models my father ran when I was a kid and wonder what he’d think of todays machines.

You are doing a great job, almost all the machines in the world

Can you please do a video with a older grader like the CAT 140G? Or any other grade with all the levers.

Biggest tip is roll blade full forward and as your coming to the end of your row begin to feather the blade by rowing the blade up and as it comes to full up you should be out of material and ready to back up. Only use that for when your moving small amounts of material. Also jamming both joysticks full forward puts the blade in float. Good way to put the blade down when parking and not lifting the machine having a constant load on the hydraulics

These things are fascinating. Very enjoyable to watch, as the guy is such an effective and clear instructor. I may be wrong here, but I don't think this guy is an expert!!! That would be my only quip about his presentation hehe.

thanks guys for these amazing videos. keep it up.

in a couple days im going to to start training on a grader. This video helped with some of the basics. Good to know before i jump aboard. thanks for this video

Take your time, slow on the controls, and just like you said, feel what your chair feels and adjust accordingly. Grader and dozer are very similar. Dozer you just see significantly less as you drive

Im nepalI your information so good sar and tq I love u all friends

I ran one for like 5 months I love it

I like it when you say um not an expert, but you nailing it bro👌

OMG...the last time I was on a motor grader it had a stirring wheel and levers. I;ve known some mighty fine operators it use to an art....I'm sure it still is. I remember a man on the ground giving the operator hand signals and the operator responding accordingly.

Thanks sir keep it up for your advise I'm watching from South Africa at Durban

I'm new to grading I'm an operator for the government great video to see how the joystick controls work thank you my old girl has a wheel and levers the joysticks look a lot more comfortable but the levers are pretty sensitive and fine touch.

You need patience and focus to run one of these. Bosses wanna rush rush, and make you lose your goddamned marbles!

The articulation can help keep the drive tires on firm ground when cutting ditches or road shoulders.

Thanks for sharing another great vid

Thanks for showing us, at present I'm still on a 12g lever type, now i'm ready to move up cheers.

First time seen this baby in action ... THX

We had a good cadence to help remember our setup for wide side reach when I trained on these. It went 4 0 shift 2 slide lean split . If you sang it it became impossible to forget.

Wtf!? Why this cat blue?

Thanks for the video I didn’t really understand the point of a motor grader machine. Mainly because I haven’t seen many in person. Whereas dozers in my area have done the same thing more or less. The flexibility of this machine is awesome! The blue is beautiful

Excellent, thanks for the basics.

I’m already a certified HEO but I watched anyway. Grader was the biggest pain in the ass, but gets easier the more you use it.

Hello thank you very much for this video.

Thanks for amizing video...kp it up

When you started the grader the beep made me fall off my legs lol!!

I have put 4000+ hrs on a 12M an counting. An hate to even get back into a old 9 lever . An still learn something new to speed up work everyday. As grader operator best advice I could give is grade slow. 1st or 2nd gear. An to speed up production get a good ground guy and skid operator! I get paid to play in the dirt.... couldn't ask for a better job ! Well , maybe paid to fish..🤣

Much love ❤❤

Grate learning

GOOD VIDEO

Great video

Nice video sir I'm new operator in grader machine I operated the caterpillar H series model

Yep, I need one

Nice

Nice Motor Grader

Please am very happy with this basic grader operation. And I see it as the first thing. Please are there other videos that follows this? Am interested in more training videos to enhance my learning. Thanks in an anticipation of ur urgent response. Silvanus

I remember grader operators were the best paid operators. they did amazing things with the old machines. Coolie Hats, bandana's MAYBE a fan blowing hot air in the face. mechanical controls. the dude was whipped at the end of the day, couldn't wait for a beer... THAT grader YOUR in.. That is a mobile office, you could use that in a business suit, check e-mails, run a Laptop, have a cooler inside for Ice cold water.. Makes me want to learn how to run that machine. Awesome!! thanks for the video! That's a Proprietor Business on it's own making good money. Invest in an LLC Buy a new grader and start looking for contracts. Take a while for commercial contract's, but, If your in Tune with Your machine, I could see more business than you could handle.

Man. I took a heavy equipment course and the I had the option to choose grader and I didnt. I got to play in one for a full day a M series aswell and I did like it but. If I picked grader that's the only machine I would have gotten trained on. So I chose Excavator, Dozer and I already had 1000's of house in a loader. Now I just had a job interview and they want me to become a grader operator and thats why I'm here for a refresher. I'm very intimidated with these. In the course though I did very well! I scraped up a road in a rock quarry and then with my windrow and smoothed out the road so I did pretty good just wish I had more seat time in one now.

Learning how to operate a leeboy and Nor am 65e finishing small parking lots

Estoy agarrando conocimiento y buen lección

Love my 160m. Funny they call the clutch pedal the inching pedal 8F 6R for gears

. thanks for everything

I see a lot of graders in my area ploughing snow I was to say to myself I want to buy one and get contracts to plough snow in the winter and then drive it from place to place where they need me

I have watched a lot of videos where people have been operating motor graders, and i have always thought it would terrify me if someone asked me to operate one, but after seeing this video it doesnt seem so bad

I am so surprised to see a Ruston Paving unit! I grew up in Central NY and knew Diane Ruston, the daughter of the wealthy family the owned the company, along w/ their fantastical 25 acre lake-front estate on Syracuse-area Skaneateles Lake, “LakeLand”… Diane was a beautiful blonde young lady and a group of us all attended Syracuse University, back in the mid-80s. IIRC, their entire fleet of virtually every type of heavy construction equipment was painted in the baby-blue motif, as her mom (or grandma?) hated the usual CAT yellow…. Who’da thunk that some +36 yrs later, a random YT video in my queue would open up a flood gate of youthful memories….

Well nice videos to watch,l'm forklift opareta but I need to oparet a motorgreda but I donor where can I find a school for it

some may cringe .... but what ive done , especially in slop conditions like that ............... is . as you come the end of your pass what you can do and very easy with both m series and ( 9 stick) as well call them or h pattern .// is roll and lift the mullboard gradually from pitched forward ( scrape ) to carry ( pitched back ) ... then at end of pass while stoped turn your circle drive to opposite direction then re pitch mull board all the way up * ( carry ) .. push both joysticks down leaving aprox 2" clearance from float mode // and then reverse at same time slowly lift mull board /// works very well for eliminating that slop pile at the end .

First check fluids and machine before operating

Once you think you know it all on one........you realize there is still so much to learn and do.

Good.ustad

I just need to correct you about blade pitch, roll forward for cutting roll back for fine trimming, think of it as a dozer You pitch a dozer blade forward to bite more

we use that plow the snow in our city

Would like to see a seasoned grader pro give some video lessons

When is the 201 coming out?? Great video for young ones like myself.

You said and its agreed that everything takes practice, but as a new operator, what is your advice on getting better at a motor grader getting on your first job site.

This great machine has a lot of functionality.. hopefully I could own one for funny purposes

Steer tire lean is always opposite the toe of the mold board.

I start tomorrow. Steering wheele ND a million levers

I always like your explanation, what is your name sir

Isn't the clutch called the inching pedal??

Please I want operate an excavator

Tevery first thing you said was three points of contact; Then youlet go with both hands when climbing up into the cab, Tut, Tut. Tut.

Hi, Folks. Wotta LOTTA people will never tell you about graders 'cos they have never 'figgered' it out for themselves is that graders work on the law of the lever. If one front wheel runs over a rock or a bump a foot high, by the time that movement gets to the center of the front axle, it is reduced to 6 inches. By the time it gets back to the blade, 1/2-way to the rear of the machine, the movement is only 3 inches - even if you don't touch the controls. Come back and make another pass in that same track, the movement over the remaining bumps will be halved twice again, leaving you with a bump maybe 3/4 of an inch high. Let the machine do what it was designed and built to do and do what you can to help it do that. The REAL art of operating a grader is being able to set your blade to take the material from where it needs to be taken to where it needs to be placed in the condition that it needs to be in - moisture content, etc. - in the least possible number of passes. There is a lot of skill and experience needed to be able to now how to handle all the different types of materials that will be encountered as well. One of the main hallmarks of a good operator on any machine is that they sit up there and make it look like they are letting it happen. NO FUSS OR BOTHER. Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Hello I'm a big fan. Can I ask you a question? Can you find me a jop in Saudi Arabia?

I've always only laid the blade down when cutting and rolled it back on up when your sticking up a grade or finishing.

Can you do a grader with levers and not the joysticks

Our grader can swing the blade up sideways to do walls. Very fun

I am not an expert nor am I experienced however I will say that the number one mistake operators make is making contact between the tandems and the heel of the blade.

I need to lean this Machine

I just saw you on shark tank last night

How much is that training cost?

why do you fire up the machine without letting it start the systems? you are supposed to let the system fire up and then check for errors if there are non start the machine.
