So is that a 16M in the video? Or a field follow 18M with 16M camoflage?
I have find a brochure where is the 18M grader:

Well that's a bit of a letdown. It looks like the 18M is just a 16M with an 18' blade and the engine tweaked by 15hp.
If cat have used the the same chassis as the 16m wouldn't it just make the new 18m more likely to be damaged by operators rotating the Blade under the cab where they can't see or hitting a steer tyre
I know you can get the blade extensions but when there fitted the operator is more aware due to the large bolt end on one side
Then for transport will the blade tuck in against the unit enough to fit on a low loader or is it going to be like the 24m's where it's blade may be assembled on side and transport the blade on a flat bed ( doubt it but it's still a thort)
Idk just food for thort
