    • @george8873
      @george8873 3 роки тому +2

      @@tobinbarrette1141 because it's just a piece of pvc pipe he used for the siphon to drain the pond so they could clean out the sandbar. The pipe would never stand up for long with traffic running over since it's just a piece of pipe you use for plumbing. It'd have broken and made a huge dip in the road anyway. Chris fixed it. Can't even tell where the pipe was now that he graded the driveway with the grader and then packed it in with the roller packer.

      I don't think his heart is in it. He has 56 videos but still only 1.29k subscribers, which is pants considering he is one of Chris's best friends from way back. Just was on the team with Chris when they won that Discovery Channel 'Machines of Glory', and I think they left the other teams seriously miffed because the combined age of the three team members must have been under 50, which is a third of the ages of the other teams. I think Justin's biggest problem is his channel name 'Catskinner'. I mean that's not something most people are going to click on. ua-cam.com/video/RAHMnCy9Eco/v-deo.html

    It appears to me that running a grader is much like running an excavator (or any other piece of equipment). It's an art and a valuable skill. If I tried to do what you did in this video it would have taken me at least twice as long and I probably would have created a bigger mess.
    I'll stick to my little box blade to do the roads on my property.
    Having said that I enjoy and look forward to watching your videos every day.

    Our county road grader operators go through a monthly routine of dragging the roads with minimal cut which just allows persistent potholes and ripples in the road. The reasoning is that it would sacrifice too many grader blades to do it right so the sacrifice is on everyone's vehicles suspension systems. Your grader footage is excellent!

    I had a Tonka Truck grader like that when I was a kid...nice toy!
