Weird Grader Applications

[alan627b]

How's this for wierd? I meant to post these years ago and they got "lost" in the computer. Somehow I tripped over them again today....
They were labeled Champion packer.....if this ain't odd I don't know what is.
Engenuity in action?

I have one of these mounted on a Cat 268B Highflow, use it to grade residential driveways. Works very well.

Does a grader attachment on a weird piece of equipment count?

Lol..I would say that it fits in the "weird" category...

Yeah no kidding that's a weird looking machine. Is that a rubber-tired excavator with articulated steering?

Yeah it's a Melcalac. Ausdave has a thread about a similar machine here

If you go to Youtube there are a few videos of machines like this, it's interesting to watch.

Not really a weird application, unless you consider the need for the armored cab.

You'd feel safer in one of those cabs than what I was told of protection in the early days, an open cab with offsider sitting next to you with an M16

Countryboy,
The joystick you posted is very interesting. I can't seem to find any info on it. Would you have a website or link for it?

Often imitated...but never duplicated. Why is everyone trying to eliminate a dedicated motor grader?

I don't understand why anyone would pay big money for a piece of crap when you could buy a good used older grader for a few grand and it would do the job properly. No payments, so it could sit till you need it.:beatsme

Found it..

Have been looking for pics of this weird grader use for some time.
Found one today.
Theese where invented years before anyone heard about wirtgen

Some of theese had a 14L Scania V8 to drive the milling drum.
Grader is a Swedish Mattson, used because of the good clearanse under the frame.

Its for sale if anybody wants it...
Pics from retrade.no.
