Would I need a tank to shift it?

Here are some pics of an interesting old grader. Apparently horse or bullock drawn.

Snow makes most things look good



This one was still recoverable but in British Columbia there would not be many wrecks to use as donors

This old truck is located at Mount Mee Forest as I'm sure many of you will recognise, unfortunately the last time we visited it had been torn apart and vandalised

oops forgot the pic

Looks like an old Britstand drawn grader. The predecessor of the motor grader. Made in Rosebery, Sydney. Still being made into the 1950's and the occasional shire council was still trying it on to trade in one of the pieces of crap in the 1980's. Usually pulled by a farm type tractor. They had an axle and wheels on the rear and an operator stood on a platform and turned hand wheels to raise, lower, and angle the blade.

No seriously, I could do with a bridge like that. Was it in Winton NSW?

Anyone know how heavy these things are?

Someone did mention that the spare bridge was carried by truck so they must be able to be loaded and unloaded on to a truck by...?
