Hi guys,
I'm an owner/operator of an aerial spraying business in sask, looking at purchasing a 720 series 1 champion grader with the Detroit engine and standard transmission. The grader would be used to maintain a mile long dirt landing strip as well as some odd jobs around the farm. I also farm so have a fair bit of experience with farm equipment but I'm wondering if you guys can fill me in on things to look at on a grader other than the obvious things you look at on any piece of equipment, what are the common wear points on these machines? What are things I should watch out for?
Also, what are the upsides and down sides of these machines?
Basically just looking for someone with more experience and knowledge than me to fill me in.
Thanks in advance for your time I sure appreciate any feedback I can get.
