slpwlker Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 How they like that new grader with the 2 joysticks? I prefer the old style with the row of controls and a steering wheel.

randyp Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Ifn you spend much time on a 16, it will make you throw rocks at a 14. I retired from mines bout time they were getting that joystick stuff in, I dont much think I would like it though. I got a lil Galion I like for driveways and stuff, I think its a 69 model. It has a detroit 3-53 power unit, and drones on and on and on,,,LOL,,,(freaking detroits) randyp Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24616-cat-graders/#findComment-115524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyp Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 However, I dint think I was gonna like 992 loaders when they went joystick, and after running it, wondered why they waited so long to do it. randyp Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24616-cat-graders/#findComment-115529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Been a long time since I've seen a 16. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24616-cat-graders/#findComment-115530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 The 16's here I've been around get used for reclaiming roads after the reclaimer(rototiller) dose it's job then it gets vibe rolled then the 16 comes down the road making it pretty.

It had a bucket loader in front, blade underneath, and a street sweeper on the back. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

All in one and a very busy operator.yeah, that's what I thought. first one i'd seen like it. some work crew had it, I think it was either the guard rail putting in people or the cable putting in people.

Olivetroad Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I was at a auction at a airport yard a year or so ago and they had one with a quick attach loader on the front and a sweeper on the back. I think it was a Champion brand? I got the idear that the operators that ran it were not as keen on it as the engineer in the office that ordered it was.
