What is a mid mount grader, and how does it differ from other types of graders?
A mid mount grader is also known as a tractor grader. It consists of a tractor-mounted grading blade that smooths and levels the surface of the road or track in front. It differs from Heavy Machinery Motor Graders by being of different construction, smaller and easier to operate and manoeuvre.
What are the primary uses and applications for a mid mount grader?
The primary uses and applications for a mid mount grader are for grading surfaces in roading and construction jobs like roads, car parks and constructing or levelling tracks.
What are some best practices for using a mid mount grader effectively and efficiently, such as proper blade angle and speed control?
For effective operation of the mid mount grader it is important to get the right angle adjustment and be able to raise and lower the blade during operation as needed. The easiest way to achieve this is with separate controls for angle and blade height. This allows you to set the angle then raise and lower the blade as needed while driving.
