I'm not an experienced grader operator by any means, but I'm pretty much having to build a gravel detour road myself because my operator left me and I haven't found another finish man yet. I've got a long straight stretch in pretty good shape using hubs and whiskers on the lane edges and letting the BladePro system slope sensor carry the 2% crown down the middle of the road. My problem is that the last 56 feet makes a 90 degree turn to join the existing highway and climbs 4.75 feet in elevation in that distance.
There is no super in this turn. It calls for the same 2% crown. (Lanes are 11 feet wide or 22 feet total width.). The slope sensor seems to lose itself as I make the turn and start climbing the hill.
Any tips on how to carry this grade up the vertical curve and around the 90 degree turn without making a mess?
