Murray grader

[chester]

Anyone using one of these? How do you get on with it? We have a mile of farm track to maintain and I’m starting to feel the strain of shovelling scalpings to fill in pot holes and think this might be an easier way to maintain the track by keeping a camber on it and preventing the pot holes from forming in the first place. Your thoughts and experiences would be appreciated.

Tried to get a demo a couple years ago with no joy unfortunately.

Seen what one does and it makes a very good job

 

[Hilly]

It looks really good and strong

 

[Oldmacdonald]

Used one without teeth and it was good. Teeth will make it an excellent machine.

Is it a flat road and what surface material is on it?

Flat road with gravel on it

 

[DieselRob]

What sort of money are those?

 

[Welderloon]

Will work fine @chester, you'll have the added bonus of being able to hire it out or do a bit of contract road grading locally to cover the expenditure or share purchase with neighbours ?, tips are replaceable, rake angle can be set to whatever camber you want, they are a solid well made piece of machinery

Can't hurry a Murray.

The Murray grader looks promising but over £10k with teeth?.. Can you form v ditches down the sides if you have the space?

Fairly sure they are over £20k for full spec with tilting frame, roller etc

We priced one can’t remember price wasn’t cheap. So we made one ourselve.

Our neighbour bought a new Murray grader 18 months ago, it makes a fantastic job.

His is just the standard unit, no teeth or roller but still makes a very impressive surface. If the road surface has been badly washed then he takes a bucket of tar planings with him on the loader and dribbles them out where required then grades with the Murray on the back.

@chester Murray gear is not cheap but is very well made. Our neighbour says that what he is saving on "road material" will more than pay for the machine through it's life span

Local chap has one and loves it. Does a really nice job of his tracks. This is his one.

Do they work on council roads to remove potholes

 

[Extreme Optimist]

I've had a basic one for a few years - no teeth or hydraulic tilting.
It's very well built and makes a great job. Saves me a fortune in road planeings as it redistribute the high spots to the low. Would def recommend it.

We've got a few tracks to put in on the stewardship grant, would it save a lot of digger time getting a nice finish?

Looked at the website £ 6800 for 3 metre grader add £ 3800 for teeth etc etc by the time you're finished you could be up to £ 20,000.

Surely a good heavy roller is needed after it ?
