I dont believe that the athleys are built anymore.but the PSI's are the same concept. Rieth-Rieley the Asphalter around here runs a JCB 214 with the grademaster backblade on it.

There can't be any production with loader attachments on graders.

Must be for the one man shows. :beatsme

Hello Patrick,

Huh, nice to see some innovated products . Something new to the market place. :)

It must have it's place somewhere.

But I know that a Case 570 loader with boxblade, and belly blade will out perform what you have. Most small paving outfits have them here. They are fast and efficient, on small jobs.

I have a old gallion 503 with a IH diesel engine, it works great for small to medium size jobs. Before I bought that I used a AC model D grader with manual angle mold board , it did a good job to the transmision puked.

Does a JD570A qualify as a small grader? I've got 2 miles of gravel road to maintain averaging 12 to 15 ft. width. Sometimes it feels bigger when going round curves. Definitly has the power.

Well I'm partial to the Champion Compact Motor Graders. They have been manufactured in Charlotte, NC for nearly 30 years now and have a very proven track record. You should go to www.championmotorgraders.us and have a look. There are several nice used ones on machinerytrader.com and I have a 2002 model C86 All Wheel Drive that has less than 200 hrs on it and brand new paint. Prior to the Champion brand we were part of Volvo and way back when we were "Lee". (not to be confused with LeeBoy. Despite whatever brand you come across they were all built in Charlotte, NC all at the same factory and by the same people. It just means that you are going to get excellent product support no matter what vintage you decide to buy. I hope this helps.

Mid Size Grader

I think the answer will depend on who your asking. I've been building small graders for most of my life it seems so when I get around a JD 570 it feels pretty big to me. But compare it to a new CAT, Volvo, or Deere and it will start to feel a bit smaller. The JD570 was a true mid size grader that was packed full of power and "big grader" features but in a smaller package that manuvers well and is easier to transport. JD pulled the model in 1992 I think and there hasn't been anything else that matches the benifits of this model until now. During our market research we found hundreds of the JD570's are being bought and sold every year. They are still very popular with the small to mid size contractor who want all the grader they can get while still being able to transport on their 12 ton tag along trailers.

So thats why we developed the Champion C110C motor grader which inherited many of the JD 570 traits but with all of todays advancements in power, performance, and comfort. For more information go to:http://www.championmotorgraders.us/C110/index.html. This link will take you directly to the C110 micro site. I hope this helps! Happy grading.

Here is our C70 equipped with a loader attachment. This used to be a really popular option back before skid steers were so popular. Puckett and Huber did a real good job with this also.

This article was in the Earthmovers and Excavators ('The Bible') this month. A hire company in Adelaide has bought the C80C and hired it out with very favourable comments from the contractors.
Good on you, Bryan.

the 503 i looked at had an ih gas motor in it of the 6 cylinder variety which should have a simular bolt pattern to an ih diesel from a 656, 666, 766, 756,856... and other farm tractors. If you get into 966,1056,1206 and others your talking alot more hp than the drives were designed for. Another good motor to check is the cummings 4-390 series.
