[QUOTE="Fendtbro, post: 9197567, member: 111888"] Hmm, Dozers and track shovels are a very skilled job to make a proper job of smoothing out a road. You are much more likely to doze out a trough which then fills with water and potholes straight away. I can't do anything accurate with the shovel (apologies if you can) but get on much better with the motor grader.. It actually does most of the work for you, you are are just guiding it really. The other thing is track machines that push give the final drives a real hammering and when they fail they need specialist tooling that has to be hired. Unless you can put a crossfall or camber on the road can go wrong very quickly. both quite hard with the dozer and not seeing what you are doing means it's quite easy to introduce black ground and soft muck into the road surface softening it. Dozer might well need rippers/scarifier to break the surface without shoving it off the side. Wonder if Steven Green would hire you a grader for a week , might be worth asking or maybe hires only into the trade. Don't let me put you off the idea tho! [/QUOTE]
