SharpGrade Laser Grader on PT70 operating with wheels retracted

A good operator makes it look easy. 👍🏻

I love those blades. Never used one but they look pretty awesome compared to a standard bucket.

Hi Adam On average, a Dual Grade SharpGrade is 3 times faster than a machine with a bucket, plus twice as accurate. We have never had anyone come close to the speed and accuracy we can achieve (although many delude themselves that they can), plus we do not need a man on a grade stick. There are many companies that will now only accept a SharpGrade prepared surface. If you do not have a SharpGrade, you do not get their business. This is the ultimate testimony...

You can do the same thing with a 4 in 1 bucket! I do it everyday and cut it concrete/paved ready in 1/2 the time. The tracks eliminated the hideous grader attachment.

I doubt ur doing it to a 2-3mm tolerance though

[@mrbig2295]

Take the 4:1 bucket and put it just flat on the ground. Without moving the machine, open the bucket up about 6 inches. Now roll the bucket out so the open part of the bucket is a depth guide and the blade on the inside is trimming the dirt. I cut pads for very highly sophisticated machine shops. I have won twice in Las Vegas at the kick some bucket contest for superior grading. The bucket splits apart go more that just ripping stumps up and picking up piles.

​@@mrbig2295you are delusional if you think you can grade to a 2-3mm tolerance in any time close to what this can. If at all.

Peoples comments crack me up I've used the Sharpe grade blade and its magic we had some blocks that bolted under the lift arms only about 70mm it worked better

[@Proquip123]

Hi Alex Yes, some skid steer hitches are set a little low for efficient back-blading. As we have an adjustable hitch plate you can add up to 100mm of spacers: another unique feature only available on a SharpGrade!

What you are missing is that machine should hare the lasers tied into the machines hydraulics... The final gradingis automatic... But its better to start grading from the end he's pushing the rock to..and in this case the right side... Then you work the rock out the door.. The rock needs more moister. And compaction before final trim for grade..

If you can fit one of these laser graders on a 943-953 size rig, you would be in really good shape. They put lasers on dozers why not full size track loaders with quick attach blades?

[@louisianasoulja07]

i do this everyday to grade with just 333 and bucket no gps ya got to have that level in you seat lol

[@Proquip123]

Anyone can push gravel around and pretend it is on grade. We precision grade to within 1.8"

👍👍👍🔥

[@bigbird9794]

I remember when you actually had to be good to grade.

[@keenanleetodd]

Only 500.00 usd? Ill take 3

[@christorres7481]

To slow

[@jessebarnes7859]

Learn how to run the machine all you need is a bucket and a guy with a laser stick

[@Proquip123]

Hi Jesse Do the math: A 1200RPM laser allows the SharpGrade to respond and adjust grade 20 times PER SECOND. The fastest operator can only respond 4 times per second (all machine controls are hydraulically damped internally to prevent a faster response). The average response time is twice per second. A man on a grade stick maybe 8 times per minute on a good day. Coupled to that we can adjust tilt up to 10 degrees either direction automatically 20 times per second, it is physically impossible for even the best operator in the world to keep up. Plus we do not need a grade stick man...

Time is money. That machine replaced the need for a extra man holding a stick. Pay for itself in a year just on labor
