Thread: The Temple of Grockle

The pics surprised me for mobile pics,its got a 5mpeg camera,I trhink they were at 2Mpeg.
Road should look good for ever I HOPE!!!!
The 2km before it we did last year still looks great.
Shame is now its sealed there will be some serious accidents out there.There already plenty along there,one of the reasons why we get government grants to upgrade the road.Problem is those bends are very sharp,I drove the road at 110ks,it feels good and the urge is to go harder.We have left the 50kmh signs on the bends.
On last years section we got our first victim the night before the job was sealed.

Andy, is the plain black bitumen cheaper than the lined stuff?

No Ovlov grader, but obviously your Shire likes the Swedish brand, plenty of F12s.

Sook, 15 hrs is normal for some of us. Six days a week.

By "lined stuff" do you mean Hotmix like you see used in the city????
Did take a few of the grader but operator error means they didnt make it into the camera,same with the old homestead.
Saw some pics of the new Komatsu Grader today.In cab view is outstanding,very few blind spots.

White lines, either solid or broken.
Are they getting a Komatsu 14'er, or Volvo?

Hi Ian
Makes sense to stick with Volvo.
The old Cat 12H is going.Getting another Volvo grader would mean 2 vulva graders and a digger.The loader goes next year,JCB been a useless toy since new.Also talking Volvo there.
CJD Equipment look after us really well (NONE of the other suppliers come within cooee)plus when you are paying them travel to service their gear it works out cheaper when they are servicing multiple units at once.
Will be going to the demo days coming up for all the major grader suppliers with the boss Looking forward to a "Steer" of the new M series Cats!!!!

I went to do a movment on a newish Komatsu years back, when the Asian machines were becoming popular. I had never plonked my bum in anything that complex or clever before. All I could do was slew it, I had to phone the dealer to find out how to make it walk.

It obviously went over the top about steering a new Cat m series
