    Default Grader stunt

    I just hope nobody tries this at one of our shows.

    Would the oil pump sump be repositioned on that machine?

    I can think of something that rymes with stunt. No rops no brain.

    Default Stupidity - - - skill - - - - or both?????????????

    Hi, Sideseat.
    Thanks for posting that link. Even though I doubt O H & S would approve of those antics on a job site, I admire that bloke's skill in being able to get that grader up there in the first place and then keep it there without losing it for as far as he did and get it back down without doing anything any damage. It would appear that he knows his machine pretty well.

    Having said that, I would still go along with the "DON'T try this at home" warning. It's definitely not a trick for amateurs.

    Just my 0.02.
    You have a wonderful day. Best wishes.

    Deas Plant.

    I am not sure who is the smartest person is here the one operating the grader or the one running along side him.

    If this operator was on my payroll, I am afraid that he would be looking for a new job. The abuse to the grader is my biggest concern in this wild display. Graders are not designed to be ran like that. Think of all of the components that have been over stressed. The next grader owner will always be wondering, "why is my grader falling apart and also is it leaking oil so badly?"
