This guy has run a motor grader for along time looks like. I'm a finish motor grader man my self and I know you don't get that good over night. Great video man. I love the motor grader videos
I agree completely. This guy has definitely been around the block a few times. I'm a blademan myself and it's nice to see the techniques other operators use. I'm not the best operator in the world but I'm not a slouch either. That means I am always willing to improve and learn something new.
@@seancote5575 Agreed! In the perfect setting, cut once vs fill twice is always the best option. In highly competitive and shorthanded scenarios, operators must be crafty and perform outside the box. In this video, there is no finish work happening. I'm merely balancing the material and leaving high in order to be rolled. From that point, I was able to cut and not fill. The little tailings out the other side of the board are irrelevant at this stage. The goal was to balance the site quickly and not fixate over details. If I recall, this parking lot had all extruded planters (plus a Maricopa), with grade breaks splitting the diamond islands then leading inverts. Thanks :)
Cool video but I never understood why they use 613 scrapers to pick up when Windrows in Arizona ,here in Florida we use loaders to pick up all Windrows ,spread base ,back drag corners etc. usually a machine with a 3 yard or 3 1/2 yard bucket like a John Deere 624 or 544 or cat 924 or 938 ,A loader is so much more maneuverable and useful than a scraper especially in a small parking lot, also I noticed this guy is not only cutting but he’s also filling.... that would never fly with the road base we use in Florida you have to put in everything high and when you’re finishing it you are cutting only ,never filling otherwise it would be scab city... if something is low we have to rip it , put it back in the high above grade ,compact it then cut it back down.... I can only assume that the material he is using does not scab when you try to add to a low spot.... again it’s a great video we just do things so much different here in Florida with the road base that we use.... if anybody out there could explain the means and methods of using the Arizona road base it would be much appreciated.
We rip subgrade to bind layers but crush gravel never seems to scab in my experience as long as we don’t pack it to much and use enough water although every company has their own methods to the wildness.
@@Mud-N-Ice Yeah that’s crazy we could never do that with lime rock in Florida you have to place everything a 10th high then beat it with a vibratory roller and when you’re finishing your cutting only... if we try to fill in any low spots it will be a giant scab... then you would have to use the score fire teeth place everything hi reroll it and trim it down again.... I still don’t understand why people use a 613 scraper to pick up windrows or piles seems like the pan is doing circles all over the parking lot before he finally gets a full load and so much wasted time getting back into position we use Loader‘s to pick up all piles and wind Rows on our finish base here in Florida seems so much quicker... I could definitely understand it on a long stretches of heavy highway but would never use something like that in a tight parking lot... A loader would be so much more versatile
Hard to cut to grade the lime rock? We got clay, a real bugger to cut I knock it in at grade with a sheeps foot following me around and if by chance I have to add then I have to scarify the fill so it binds otherwise scabs like wild. Gravel different story little water and fill no problem
@@Mud-N-Ice toughest thing about lime rock is it has baseball and softball size boulders in it and when you’re trying to finish your edges the blade will lift out the big rocks and then you got a run fines back to your curb edges on our subdivisions the average asphalt depth is an inch and a half so it’s pretty easy to get low on the curb line when big rocks start coming out.... The tricky one for us here in Florida is soil cement... you have to get it all on grade or no more than a quarter inch high the first day you put it down because it sets up like concrete overnight and then anything you trim off the next day is dead and it cannot be reused you have to throw it behind the curb or use it to dry up some wet subgrade... when we cancel cement it can be some pretty late nights especially if we get rained on during the day but to be profitable at it you can’t leave it any higher than a quarter inch from Grade.... and that stuff will set up so fast and be hard as hell the next day if you leave something in inch high it will take you several passes to cut it and you’ll be spinning the back tires on the grader and the blade puts out a high-pitched screech like a high note on a trumpet that stuff can get pretty crazy if it gets away from you

Thanks for the compliment! Yes, I studied with several fantastic old school blademen. Billy

Personally, I dislike making fills over grade hubs. Good operator!
Hey Matt I completely agree ,when I am finishing I am cutting and not filling

blue tops is the only way to grade accurately.
Boa máquina e um bom operador de moto niveladora
Not enough room to spin a cat there..
He's cutting nice but he's got windrow left&right
👍
He is just balancing his material he is not sweating the small stuff right now. I bet it don't look like that when he is finishing it.
