Im doing some research on John Deere graders. Looking at a older 670A or 670b. I see the controls are different. How reliable were they. I know cat is the standard. I just can't afford them. Looking at Deere, champion, or a Komatsu, Gallion. Older Deere seems to be what I'm after. Mainly because my single drop low bed can haul it. Cab height of 10 feet. And they seem to be under 30000 dollars. I'm just looking to fix my roads and work for neighbors alittle. Not like I'm working it every day. Front scarifiers might be a good way to go. Makeshift blade to go in riper pockets to knock rock slides off road and fill in washouts that I can't get over. I want to be able to slope banks, so it needs a saddle. Don't want to climb up the bank to do it. It needs good brakes and articulate. Want to be safe in steep country. Also want a cab. I'll put a red dot on it. Not trying to fix 30 year old ac. Gona fix it up. Just don't want to buy something that sucked even when it was new.
