Chris, after watching you using the grader, dozer etc, you are a master of your profession. I love watching a master doing his job, and being a protectionist you really know how to finish any job. It’s no wonder you and the company are in high demand.

Be really neat if you could do a little commentary on your thought process when using the grader, for those young fella's, not the keyboard warriors. Like the long grade, blade pitch, creating a windrow etc. Enjoy you content Chris. Greetings from NZ 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

I always enjoy watching the motor grader. I'm just starting to get what you are doing with it. Maybe do a Motor Grader For Dummies video? You have touched on what you're doing before, and it helps. I really enjoy all of your videos. I guess I'm vicariously playing in the dirt with your really big Tonka toys. Ahhh, childhood memories... Thanks.

I work for the county road dept, we use our grader primarily for pulling shoulders and putting down gravel shoulders. Our grader is the only piece of equipment I haven't ran but I have to hand it to those guys, going around mailboxes and power poles and avoiding driveways all while maintaining the grade takes real skill. Grader work isn't easy.

Not being critical... BUT you need to stop rotating the blade under load while traveling its a certain way to cause damage. Its not like ajusting the dozer blade. It may look fancy going along doing it but its not how you use that feature. 🙄🙄🙄🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😀😀😀😀 keep up the good work just remember slow an steady wins the race.

Thanks for all the great videos. Here in B.C., Can. we have to have a cage on our mach. before we can go in t he bush, how are you able to get around that down there? Why is it I never seem to see any merh. timber being saved? Last Q is here we find it quicker to send a faller in for the 10" or bigger wood to f&b it first. Not that he can fall it quicker but what he does save on machine time and wear and tear? Cheers, Billy in Canada.
