Thread: Im now a grader driver

Hi Guys
Finally got my first go on the grader,got sent out on the new Vulva(Volvo) to grade a 2km section and learn.
I couldnt belive how easy it was,I moved all the blade controls then into it.Everything worked for me,no looking at the pictures on the levers,just adjust as needed.
When I was finished I called the leading hand up(knowing I had blitzed it)and asked him to drive it in his ute.He was gobsmacked,couldnt belive I had done such a good job without any prior experience,much better job than the other grader boy who has been learning for 8 months!!!!.
I just rang Fat Baz to tell him how well it all went,he reckons if it happend for me like that Im set as thats how it happend for him(He is a top operator after 18 months).
Anyway Im rapt,I thought I had a huge challenge to take it on,got a lot to learn but nowhere near as hard as I expected.

You can call yourself a grader driver when you can do final trim to a tolerance of + or - 3mm. I can't.
