New Grader

[LandyAndy]

Got some good news today,they chose to buy me another CAT grader in yesterdays Shire meeting.I have really enjoyed steering this 12M,the new one is another 12M.They were upgraded last year and now use a 140 frame and motor.They have stock,3 were unloaded at the harbour today so shouldnt be too long before I get it

Andrew, just as a matter of curiosity, what it is the turning radius of the beast?...............it is bigger that the one of a Cab Crew Defe 130?

Here is a pic to demonstrate,I can drive around a Rodeo ute in circles.I doubt even a falcoodunnydoore could do it without spinning the wheels

Very nice indeed
Is the base model or the AWD?

[LandyAndy]

Not AWD,we have no need for it Chuckie.
Thats my current 12M
The new one is $334000 worth

Haha as stated above your lucky 2 new toys in a year!! Bloody hell if a small one is $334000 I could only wonder what we pay for the 24Ms with full mine spec sheesh!!

Very nice toy,
We have a very old 12H that looks after the roads underground,and i have to say old Ernie who looks after all the roads and declines does a bloody good job.I have no idea how to operate a grader,but i have huge respect for the blokes that do.
