    They do build up with a little bit of material but nothing that bothers you while grading never had it become an issue and I’ve been grading some really sticky wet high clay gravel with no issues.

    No end bits on the 2ft blade extension I really wish they could make them work but then again I’ve never had one wear out yet so guess if it not an issue leave it alone and this machine has the joystick controls so no steering wheel just two joysticks I love it.

    Grader wheel hop

    That’s good to hear and I’m glad you replaced your springs on your plow I’d like to do the same we just had a storm with lots of hard packed wind driven snow and was having trouble with springs tripping and letting cutting edge dig in was a bear to handle having solid bars would be way better.
