Making The Grade

Recommended Posts

MaineDad

Hey guys,

I had my driveway paved this week and I now have a huge pile of loam and some major grading to do this weekend. So....... I just bought a 50 inch mid mount grader blade from Bill in Maine, same great WH guy that I bought my tiller from. It's in great shape too!

I will take some before, during, and after pictures of the grading. If I can get my son to do some video, I'll post that too.

My goal is to use the 314-8 with the dozer blade to move the loam around, then use the C-160 with the grader blade to finish things off. Stay tuned :banghead:

Depending on how things have been piled up you might be surprised at just what can be tackled with the grader blade. Looking forward to your action shots and video. :banghead:

Wow, Micah, your attachments are adding up! I would love a grader blade but they can be pricey. But then so can those Brinly tool bars! :banghead:

Micah--you have compiled quite a list there--I'm impressed!! :banghead:

I have left the mid-mount blade on my C-120A for awhile now---every time, I'm going to take it off--I need it for something else....

It's a little awkward getting used to lowering it/raising it at first--but doesn't take too long to get the hang of it.

Put a little dab of grease or white lube where it hooks up---makes it easy to rotate and remove. :USA:

Take care!!

Rained too much to do any work :USA:

Maybe next weekend. It's mounted though and it looks cool :banghead:

Nothing but rain every weekend - it's driving me nuts not to be able to grade it away from the new driveway! I'm afraid that I will have melting onto the driveway and a buildup of ice.

Plus now it's not going to get out of the 30's with a possible snow storm next weekend. Will take pics when I can...
