Just would like to say, my grandfather used a Wabco and would cut the ditches and the roadway for whole subdivisions in a couple days. He would rarely be off on the drainage and the peak of the middle of the road. The grader he used was a Wabco, had I think a 8 cyclinder diesel, blade was around 18 feet and the blade height was like 18 inches. That was his joy to operate. First thing he did back in the 70's when he got it. He took a torch and cut the entire cab off the top so he could see the blade cutting better. He loved nothing better than being on that thing. Watching him do radiuses and cut ditches 4 foot deep with the blade on a steep 45 degree angle in just a few passes and be on grade was like watching a master at work. He did all this after looking at the blueprints, once. Scary how good he was. Miss my grandfather.
Built by the well-known group of American engineers “BRENT’s Engineering Ingenuity”, recognized for building modified and rebuilt equipment with brutal capabilities for earthworks and material handling, the CAT 25M is not an official Caterpillar equipment. However, it is a machine that is manufactured with components from 5 different equipment of the Caterpillar brand.The CAT 25M has parts of the equipment: CAT 988B, 834B, 836B, 235C, D10N and 657B. And it is undoubtedly an engineering work that attracts a lot of attention due to the earthmoving capacity it has, having a large curved blade and a height greater than the Official CAT 24M
Big ole machine made for mines.. wish the video would have put some specs up telling a little about the machine. How much it weighs and how much horsepower it has and what motor or Motors it has in it and how big the blade is , I think the video could have been s little better. I’m just glad they didn’t add music
el operador coge el cordón por el medio a medio, puedes apreciar que tiene fuerza con una marcha reducida, pero es practica para limpiar pistas, arreglar una capa o un cargue?? cuantas marchas tiene?
i wonder what kind of engine makes that thing move how much dirt can you push whit that giant grader? I assume it be best suited for Mines or out west in oil field some thing big like that
Is a machine of that type really practical at that size? Seems to me scrapers would be a better option for what they are using it for. A grader this large would normally have a very wide blade would it not? Why have such a heavy duty narrow blade?
I was lucky enough to get a die cast model of this bad boy, although it a little different, it has a walking platform between the drive wheels and engine compartment on each side along with the rip blades.
would love to see a picture of that ! Pretty sure its not a 25M as this was a one off, only one was ever made, so there are no variances of it. What you probably have is a Champion T-100, which actually makes this machine look like a little toy in comparison.
Forward Rams great,take the load,boss points,major welding point in rock or non fluffy surface,loading articulation,pin point big problem.and mechanic even looks at it,blade is way to heavy gauge and will cause hopping,my 24m most likely could do the same as it,great idea but I think it's 100k extra not needed.i really have the great thoughts on what could make it a money maker,with less hopping and makes better grading in a higher speed.more efficient
+Pat Keller Yeah , this beauty of a machine is sitting in pieces now . I don't think it even made 1 year of service !!!! Would make a great yard ornament though !! !
It need a push block up front to push dumb ass scraper hands and teamsters bottoms out of the fill. What is the hitch on the rear for, pulling a sheep-foot ?
I believe there's got to be a limit to these things! Size wise....24M offers last word in large blade grading. O'wise a 140M2 does all the grading any roads engineer needs for sure! This is a lugubrious beast, too big for its own good!
@oliverwabwire2836,yeah, it's pretty huge. Let's see a police road block try to stop it with their cop cars,can you say SQUISHED FLAT😅😂🤣!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,LOL
Unfortunately Champion proved 35 years ago that bigger isn't better with the t-80/t-100's. Cat won't go any bigger than the 24m as after that size they become unproductive . Proof is where this machine currently sits - in the bone yard of PrB with the engine removed . The S18G is a much better designed machine for this aplication - though I sure would love to plow some snow with this !!!!!!!
It was just west of Edmonton Alberta, but when I was last there, its all gone. PRB is no more, so not sure what happened to all their equipment. You can still see it sitting there on google earth, with the engine removed.
(I speak from ignorance) I always thought bulldozers were for large scale, low precision, HEAVY work, and graders for final finish and accurate work. And yet this is a HEAVY (massive!) grader. Please educate me.
I’d like to know what he’s doing also. That’s not the way you move dirt. If you have to hog that much dirt you get a dozer, not a blade. A blade is for finish work, not for going back and forth in a field burning fuel!
@@thewidower1 What is he doing ? Very simply - he is testing the machine !!!!! They hauled it from their manufacturing facility to the test field to see that it works, and then hauled it home again ! This is it's initial test and tune, before it was hauled to its home. Now as for that not being the way to move dirt - well if he was drying the sub-grade, he would be doing almost perfect at it - other than he doesn't have the windrow rolling! Something you just can't do with a dozer very effective and efficiently.
Just asking the question Is this grader for haul roads on open pit mining, to me it seems like a dozer could have done the work that the grader was doing Seems like the digging it was doing would be harder on the grader, I'm thinking cost wise of this monster versus a cheaper D-7 or 8 just asking the question.
That's a lot of machine just to get a Moldboard 1 foot wider (unless they're using the number designation for something else). It looks like they used a 992 as the basis of it and built a big front frame for the rest, and all for just one more foot added to the blade?. Can someone that may have been around this machine elaborate some more?. Also, am I the only one worried about the operator breaking grade? Haha
tannerbob69 I can't see a bit of difference in that and a 120 but size. A 120 has the same features and isn't as long as a dead snake. It'd be good on a big job but that's all.

Engine sounds fantastic.
That rig can move some material! Wow.
Wonder which junkyard it’s in now.

This Tractor Is a Monster!!!
How may hp,whats the weight?

Great looking but it's not even all-wheel drive, is it?
OK thanks for the update. Thought cat came out with this. I like it
Hy David Coulter
mind boggelling!
Was that a Peterbuilt or a Kenworth hooked up to the lowboy trailer 🤔
Why didn't they use the tongue ramps that usually go with these trailers?
Probably because of the stinger, or whatever the end trailer is. The add on trailer
Is a machine of that type really practical at that size? Seems to me scrapers would be a better option for what they are using it for. A grader this large would normally have a very wide blade would it not? Why have such a heavy duty narrow blade?
yes, but does it have cup holders?

i know what i want for my birthday :)
eu com uma dessas rummm
Randomtube ,,,
breaststroke
Among other things, a big advantage to this machine over the S18G would be operator comfort.
I guess prolly. Take nap.
The toolbar is attached at the back instead of in front, that should by all rights preload the driving wheels with more weight for better traction.
Probably loaded with calcium and water. Must weigh 2000 pda each

Besides cup holders''''''' dose it have a coffee maker in 2 ?????????
Unless your just want to make wind row's for scrapers whats the point?
This would make grading the driveway real fast. :P
So how is a motor grader better at leveling ground than a bulldozer? Just asking.
Do the front wheels pull on it?
thank you for the lessons
Pretty impressive. Is the back end and motor from a older 988?
Cat already makes a 24, why custom build something similar in size?
cause thats what this company does they gotta few pieces like this
I wonder if there are any arrow heads in the wind rows
Looks great ...but bigger isn't always better! There are several huge machines have fallen by the wayside.
For example (out of curiosity)?
the champion 80t and 100t for perfect example
BigBud
@@frobinson7574D575
Why the 980 got a flat?
How many tons this is ?
What engine? ❤
So is this alot bigger then the 24-H&M???
nice, but what did they do to the grader
Really cool to see 👀
Hmmm !!, is there enough float down the length, I noticed the Banks Man check for clearance when jumping on the Low Boy!!
what engine in that monster
Big Cat ! What is the width of that mould board ?
+Reg Sparkes 16ft they tried a 24 but it didnt work
jimmy johnson djfdhjgdjg
We had one years ago before cat ever considered such a big blade. it was green, McCoys owned it: 1990s
Is it 6wheel drive? If not, why the planetary front axles?
yup; you guys are on to something. SSSSSwwwwweeeeeett!
Moto nivelado ubrvarco
Muito boa categoria BB
What a beast .
Scrapers love wind rows
How much bigger is it than a 24m?
I want one.... I don't know what I'll use it for, but I want one.
Why?
Forward Rams great,take the load,boss points,major welding point in rock or non fluffy surface,loading articulation,pin point big problem.and mechanic even looks at it,blade is way to heavy gauge and will cause hopping,my 24m most likely could do the same as it,great idea but I think it's 100k extra not needed.i really have the great thoughts on what could make it a money maker,with less hopping and makes better grading in a higher speed.more efficient

You could do the same job much faster and with less cost using scrapers.
Am F-350 front plow and two wings
has it got a aircon?
Ingenieria mecánica en su máximo esplendor ,para trabajo duro .
I would like to plow snow with that machine nice looking older equipment
Wow, this one is the best grader which I have seen in action :) very strong grader :) is he still active?
Andrea1981 no it’s cut up
@Shane Marzoff, that's a shame
So is it 6x6 or just 4x6 wheel drive?
That's not a standard blade. It looks like you guys welded 2 or 3 D5 blades together.
It need a push block up front to push dumb ass scraper hands and teamsters bottoms out of the fill. What is the hitch on the rear for, pulling a sheep-foot ?
que belleza de maquina❤❤❤
Buenas tardes.
Me gustaría ver videos cuando les dan mantenimiento, por ejemplo un cambio de aceite etc.

The only thing it would be good for is haul roads in a mine
...or the giant field that this one is in.
Be awesome for parking lot grading, initial road bed subgrading...ex.
That thing wouldn't fit in the mines I used to work in ....hell my tire truck barely would fit thru the portal at one of them
Stephen Brown o
The only place I’ve seen one used is on mine haul roads. They are VERY impressive when one is in the shop!!
Great page
Gigantesca essa CAT quantos HP?
Sem dúvida o trator que mais gosto!
What a monster!!
What kind of trailer were you guys using there? Can you give me details please?
Massive machine.
That’s my kind of haul road grader 💪💪that’s awesome
One huge machine
No power assist to the front wheels?
Why no Ripper assembly??????
Brandon Cheney too big i guess
Brandon Cheney xj
Dkd
Brandon Cheney 1jwhddjd uns eye
The purchaser didn’t check the option box
It would split the earth.
But does it have GPS
Put a big set of rippers on the back of the grader & it will look mean
that is one serious fucking big grader ,,,looks like it's working good too

Man, I'd like to see the carcass! Where is this "bone yard"? I ran 14s&16s in construction and snow plowing in Wyoming. This blade looks like a beast!
Hartmut Tausend 0f
It was just west of Edmonton Alberta, but when I was last there, its all gone. PRB is no more, so not sure what happened to all their equipment. You can still see it sitting there on google earth, with the engine removed.
Do you know the story of this thing? It obviously wasn't built by Cat. Why did they build it? just for one specialised contract?
No Backup alarm for 10 million?
(I speak from ignorance)
I always thought bulldozers were for large scale, low precision, HEAVY work, and graders for final finish and accurate work.
And yet this is a HEAVY (massive!) grader.
Please educate me.
This grader would be good for maintaining haul roads at large mining operations
I'd love to cut blue tops with that beast 😁
What is he doing anyways?
open yr eyes and use yr brain
I’d like to know what he’s doing also. That’s not the way you move dirt. If you have to hog that much dirt you get a dozer, not a blade. A blade is for finish work, not for going back and forth in a field burning fuel!

Saves like he'll on a dozen under carriage. If that was real job instead of test this would be much better ride.
Just asking the question
Is this grader for haul roads on open pit mining, to me it seems like a dozer could have done the work that the grader was doing
Seems like the digging it was doing would be harder on the grader, I'm thinking cost wise of this monster versus a cheaper D-7 or 8 just asking the question.
It was made for a large highway construction project
نفسي اجرب ال 25m ده
أكيد هبدع بيه ❤️❤️💪
Can do a lot of leveling jobs WITHOUT a dozer now? That was moving a LOT of dirt. A double lane oversize load, wow.
That would be to cool to run
What a brute....would love to climb up there and roll some dirt
Are you going to try to get the D57T next? Or is it still in Canada?
yeah its up north here it hasnt moved in years
I didn't think a hole lot of people new about the d57t
Que saudades de trabalhar de niveladora a minha preferida essa e uma bela maquina
Ela não é a verdadeira 25M da Caterpillar, esse é um projeto desenvolvido pela BRENT'S engenharia! Mesmo assim ficou top!!!

dont know much about grading but what can this do that makes it so much different from the cat 24 m
tannerbob69 I can't see a bit of difference in that and a 120 but size. A 120 has the same features and isn't as long as a dead snake. It'd be good on a big job but that's all.
+tannerbob69 weight, raw hp, smaller blade, tires its a frankenstein of several machines
Nice unit.
So, what will this do that a 24M won't?
B Laquisha Perzactly!
this will get you tied up in court with a lawsuit from Catapilar LOL
Nothing!!!
Would be much more suited to mining than a 24, better at grading contours and rough ground, a much better design altogether
what is the name of the biggest grader ever made
Largest grader ever made was the ACCO, though only 1 was ever made. largest production Grader was the Champion 100T
Quantas toneladas pesa essa 25m? Gostaria de saber essa curiosidade?
Is that prairie ron running this relic!
tw yeoman, Ron is my cousin
Question: What can you grade with this thing?
Answer: Anything you want to.
Lol yeah. Put it on a haul road in a mine that's in a -40 cold snap. Even the rippers can't do much on some surfaces.
I graded peanut butter on my toast with it, worked pissah
Haul Roads but the speed and turning radius ? 16M would put it to shame
I know this piece of equipment cost a lot of money
Huawei Samsung Huawei is a great product for for the
If u closey its a 988f loader back end and geat work building the front end
They paid the truck rental its weight in Gold.
BUENA MÁQUINA PARA CARRETERA SUPER GRANDES ETC FINISH GRADE PARECE UN D9 EMPUJADO MUCHA TIERRA 👍👍👍👍👍
what name grader
Dam thats awesome
I think there will be no bigger grader in Cat's production line ... l guess he'll produce only one in the world right?
I would like to see the operator inside the cab and how he operates the grader
