Back in the 1960's we lived very rural as in no neighbors for miles. The road was gravel and seemed like every summer the township graded the roads to bring them back after a winter of snowplowing. They also used their red Austin Western to clean out the ditches. As a young boy I loved watching them work. When they purchased a Gradall I was in heaven. I remember watching that Gradall being used on steep banks and in ditches it was unbelievable.

Its a feel thing as is most moving machinery. You can give people all the book knowledge you want, and yet so many operators completely stink...I know the basics of boxing and yet would get owned by raw talent.

I could possibly see this as a third career choice. Looks like it would be challenging and in many cases you're working alone which I prefer.

I run a grader during winter operations. I’m always very careful to bench the snow way up as your drifts the next storm will be worse. I also lift my wing up a little so there is a defined shoulder. I plowed a road once and I left the road looking like a 50’ wide freeway. Cars couldn’t see the ditch vs the road and I had people off the road. I learned to just lift the blade closest to the grader about 6” so traffic has a line to define the edge of the roadway.

When I was a kid back in the day I saw two grader operators running old 12 E’s put their mold boards together to form a ‘V’ and matched their speed while cleaning out big parking lots. When the snow they were pushing built up and got to heavy they just steered away from each other. I’ve never seen anyone do it since and I never had the nerve to try it with anyone while running expensive modern machines but watching them do that has always stuck with me. Those were the men back then who spent their lives on graders blading gravel roads in summer and snow in winter, guys who ended up with hearing aids later in life from those noisy old beasts.

These machines are so incredibly versatile. I haven't operated heavy equipment but a grader looks similarly difficult to operate as a walking excavator.

In the 70's I pulled into a town with an almost empty tank and no money. So I went to the employment office and asked for a job. He said "I've got one job, can you drive a backhoe"? I said "Yes". Cut a long story short, I worked through smoko, lunch and kept going after knock-off. Eventually the boss came out and pulled his thumb across his neck and waved me into his trailer. I'd already prepared my story about being rusty and different machines, etc. But when he said "You've never driven a backhoe before, have you"? His eyes told me to say "No Sir". I was wondering whether he'd pay me anything when he said "See you in the morning". He added "Have you eaten"? "No Sir", "Got any money"? "No Sir". He told me to see a bloke at the pub and gave me cash for fuel. There was two machines on that job, the other bloke was pretty good according to him and the other workers but when we finished that job a few months later I was faster and fussier than him. Experience does help but *_"Hard work"_* can and did trump experience.
