Basic 1506
Trailing Grader |
| |
This machine is designed for low-cost maintenance of gravel roads and forest access trails. Each blade has a hydraulic release mechanism, which can independently release when an obstacle is encountered, with negligible shock transmission to the towing vehicle. The basic machine is set up with hydraulic lift and tilt cylinders for operation with an 80-100hp wheel tractor, but it can be operated at speeds up to 15kph behind any large four wheel drive vehicle.
This grader can be used as a very efficient machine for building fire-breaks. It is capable of creating breaks with a low-impact on the environment, by simply skimming the surface to remove vegetation in two parallel strips, allowing preventative back-burning between the strips well before the fire season. Its low cost and mobility, plus the added advantage of providing very good access to fire areas, make this machine a very versatile machine for use in National Parks and other fire-sensitive areas. |
