[@Ray-lo4hr]

Nice old grader.

[@davidbabao7119]

Cat diesel power .. never get old

[@eh4447]

It must be very satisfying doing a good job grading a rough road to make it OK for vehicle traffic. Keep up the good work.

[@zetor1445]

Esse ronco das 12 é uma coisa linda de ouvir.

[@trevorzzealley2670]

I like those old wrist breakers , they will run for decades .

[@justinmyslive4108]

A former boss of mine called it a knuckle buster

[@sambrooks3977]

that grader is doing a good job

[@DieselCrawler86]

@DieselCrawler86 That and also they might have some tilt to help with the cornering of the machine...Its been a few years since I have been around on that old.

[@Savukoski]

Best thing to make a good road during the winter :)

[@letsdig18]

@MrYammyb2 I'd say thats a ditch off to the side so water can flow off the road. then i guess he is packing the road in

[@thomasjsanford6296]

Here, you would need to build ditches first, throwing material up onto the road surface, so it's higher than the surrounding terrain.... If the soil is heavy clay, it would need to be dug out 8-10' deep, and replaced with a sand & gravel mix...

@zman4ish To counter act the side drift from the blade. He has the wheels leaned the wrong way.

[@huckstered]

A good caliche soil and clay mix, great for a ranch rd. Good job. It is a 12 F model , right? I have been on heavy equipment since the early seventies. It is a non -articulating type, same as the Sixteen you use. I like your videos, thanks. That looks like north central Texas to me. I began in San ANtonio in much the same soil conditions as shown here.

[@Richard31406]

please overlook my ignorance, by why are the front tires/wheels leaned over to one side?

[@immortal1266]

Muito bom essa das melhores aqui no Brasil tem muita das Cat 120B

[@diggerdave51]

Good Video, and a question about you Cat 12 Grader does it have a pony motor to start the diesel engine ??? Thanks.

[@anibaldietrich4825]

yes very good machine

[@sledhead78]

what was the 'V' cut off the side and driving back and forth about at the end there?

[@thomaspatten4470]

Proper drainage and compaction.

[@nolen70]

how many machinerey do you have

[@zman4ish]

why are the front tires angled to a side like that?

[@ryanhawkins5306]

counteracts the pull from the mouldboard when its angled left or right

[@DieselCrawler86]

@zman4ish Looks like the king pins might be a little worn.

[@alpawpaw5611]

No, you are able to tilt wheels in both directions.

[@jimmychambers3836]

has his tires leaning the wrong way

[@glenb.559]

Ya I noticed that

[@daveketola6702]

Just did six miles of our camp road with old 12 .Don't look anything like that! !Can drive 30-40mpg on it.

[@generationll]

Have you ever thought of upgrading to the more modern 12G

[@abdellahibrahimi5947]
