Worked for a local township that my wife's uncle was the superintendent of and once a Year they had a large gathering for all the superintendents and their employees to attend..good food, raffles for hats, coats, equipment displays, new products for highway maintenance and repairs... but the thing that blew my mind was the competition for the grader operators..one challenge was to roll a cats eye marble around safety cones on fresh asphalt without leaving a mark...another one was having an operator lower the blade and use the hydraulic system to completely turn the grader 180° without lifting the blade to readjust...no one did that but some came pretty damn close... great times to be alive

I mean I don't know how you'd be able to turn the grader a full 180 without picking the blade up to adjust, I mean it's got to much weight in the ass, only way would be to pick the ass end up while rotating the blade and the front end on the ground free wheeling, but I think there's to much weight in the ass to get it right, fyi I'm a 25 year veteran operating everything from small minis to large scale mining equipment

my favorite park of operating grader is the figuring out new tricks and how to manipulate it to do exactly what you want can do some crazy things most would never expect to be possible its like learning a new language and learning how to know what the grader is telling you once you understand what its telling you you can make magic together

Have you ever danced your grader in the pale moonlight?? That took skill, concentration, and a good deal of trust between the operator and the driver.

[@duanesamuelson2256]

​@BrokenSmokinSpokes I watch these videos for the comments more than the video itself. Your comment reminded me of a story my dad told me years ago. He and his friends were cruising and had a motorcycle cop behind them. Differential broke and locked up the rear end. The cop (which was the point of the story) laid his bike down with him on top and came off it running with his gun drawn. He thought initially they had brake checked him (totally valid way to deal with brake checking imo lol). It got sorted...however failures like that 70 years ago weren't uncommon.

[@venelprince6889]

@@BrokenSmokinSpokes Tie-rods & rear diffs are overbuilt for that reason, and even so they do occasionally break. Hydraulics under heavy loads are more likely to fail, hence why you never stand under hydraulics under load.
