wurzel 117 #1 Posted January 7, 2016 Hi heres a couple of pics of my homemade grader/dozer . The 2 blades see saw on a pivot under the front wheels the front blade works a treat for spreading gravel and the middle blade levels like a charm. The middle blade is just a piece of 4x2 chanel bolted on with 2 steel straps so it can be angled if required.I used the deck lift cylinder to move it up and down . It doesnt look pretty but i had to knock it up in a hurry to move 12 tons of gravel 3 nigel, Alan and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triumph66 1,256 #11 Posted January 12, 2016 That's a Kohler engine in the QT? They are good looking machines and the implements are belt driven as opposed to shaft driven I think? 1 wurzel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
