Wow, i've never seen anything like that! I would think it was a custom mod but it looks too good for that. Can we get some more pictures of the cab?... I'm so confused haha.

catd8t, you'd look like such a pimp cruising past normal graders on it. But you better tint the windows so they don't see your knees up by your head.

The edges are carbide bits from Cat they come in a few sizes(We run a inch and a half and three inch stagered for winter and shaping the road. They are really tough and really carve, We also have a set we mounted on the ripper mount to groom and work a hard area. We run conventional edges well their called black Cats They are extra thick and last.

You have lots of room and your knees are not up by your ears, you are streached out and relaxed will send pics of the cab, it runs a Mercedes motor for emmisions,
