    • @ironman3406
      @ironman3406 Před 28 dny

      That would work if you wanted to creat a grade where both cylinders were lifting together like a flat grade - but if you want to grade a cross slope you have run it either left side or right side.

    • @ironman3406
      @ironman3406 Před 2 měsíci

      No spreading at high speeds in an articulated truck is unsafe and very easy to tip the machine. So they limit the speed that the machine will travel to prevent that from happening. I’ll tell you what’s not efficient, spreading out truck piles with a tractor and scraper box. You should be using a bulldozer or grader for the best efficiency.
