Great video & thank you for doing this & the placement of the camera looking back at the meat and the potatoes, Almost looks like a gigantic cake with layering on the iceing.
Articulating a grader sounds smart but could take some brain power to set in for me , is your machine a stand up cab ? And do you like to stand while you're grading to take a load off the butt. I've run for 3 winter's a 966 cat rubber tire loader Loading tree length Spruce & this loader pivoted in the middle & very tricky when boom & grapple is full and high to clear the Log trailer bunk stakes & the ground surface angle so as to not lose everything to gravity, But was usually loading on level ground in the cut blocks not a big operation l drove for a private mom and pop's logging company that harvested private trees and delivered to Chetweyed & Fort Saint John, British Columbia,6 axle ,pony up T/A pole trailer configuration with a powerhouse 1985 Mack Superliner with the mack V8 forgot the cubic inch of this engine, but pretty good grunt when grunt is needed,the best experience l have with diesel engine holding & pulling power is the 3406E accert, pulled it right down to 8/900rpm & she kept pulling on a pretty assent Grade, the Cummins N14 / & Plus & the rest would never do that at that predicament they always fall flat on their face , the Truck Caterpillar 3406 is actually the grader engine returned for truck duty & the only Heavy truck engine l ever want to know about, too bad cat stupidly halted production of this engine after 2006. Cat makes so much money in the global market they don't even see the lose of my favorite engine as you can tell by my handle on this website.
It is a stand up but I am 6'5" so actually standing in it doesn't work for me. I like Cat engines also but had pretty good results with Cummins and this John Deere.

Glad you enjoyed it
nice video love how you explain what your doing and why. Very informal. Great job looks like a lot of work and many hours behind the wheel.
Glad you enjoyed it
You make it look easy. That’s how I know it’s hard
Thanks
