What the flying fuck is the point of this machine?
Im No tradesman im a computer engineer but even i see how stupid this machine is
Litterally makes no sense at all. A wheel loader or a dozer can do what this machine does but better

Precision, mainly. It's for the final passes, getting everything to a precise grade and smoothness. It's not intended for the heavy work, it's a precision machine.

the long wheelbase means bumps and uneven areas have far less effect than a relatively short wheelbase implement
if you had ever actually used something like a front end loader or skidsteer you would quickly learn they accel at doing what they are designed for (picking up and loading loose material/moving shit around) and become increasingly annoying the further you stray from that intended task
obviously a giant motor grader is specifically designed to grade a large amount of a roadway width area extremely accurately and quickly

My dad used to love these things. Used to just want to go up and touch one. He was a teacher and would sometimes just ramble on about them. I hate them though since they're the reason he got locked up. It happened when I was young.When I asked my mom why the cops took dad away she said it was because he touched his 3rd grader.

Graders are awesome for grading roads with a nice crown, cutting ditches, berming dirt up, etc. I love my grader. Also there are a ton of dirt county roads around here that would be in horrible shape if they didn't send a grader around maintaining them constantly.You do have a grader don't you?

due to long wheel base and fully articulated blade, its just more comfy (fast and cheap) for high volume (distance) light duty precision work.A dozier that can't tilt its blade 720degs of freedom will have to do several passes to do same thing.Wait till OP finds out about picrel.

they are becomming rare. today most road maintendance crews here use fully rigged multi purpose dump trucks.
pic related got a grader blade in the middle,snow blow mount in the front and can accept anything from a salt/sand spreader in the back of a dump truck bucket for road maintendance use
>pmow your route back and forth
>lower grader then scrape and salt/sand your route
in summer time
>using dump bucket lay out fresh gravel on bumpy gravel road
>grade it on the way back
and when no road work is required
>use it as a whatever truck

Heavy equipment operator here. Graders have their place but it's disappearing. GPS equipment machines have took a lot of their jobs but municipalities love them for maintaining shoulders because you can just drive it to a job instead of requiring a truck to get it there. Plus they can move snow pretty good so they're year round machines.
