Leeboy grader ?

tx_swordguy ยท 2024-01-05 18:04

Hey guys yall gave me some great advice concerning older cat/ deere graders . A leeboy g220 grader came up and considered looking at it. Its a 4wheel not 6 and about 17k lbs with a 10 ft mouldboard. I know it is smaller and lighter that the cats and deeres, but how about the reliability and maintenance on the leeboy g220

    Like everything else, can you get parts for it? We have Leeboy asphalt spreaders, and they seem reliable, but they are a lot newer. 4 wheel grader is less stable than a 6 wheel, but you are not fine grading, and it does seem to have a long wheel base, so that helps. If you have a shop with a lot of machining tools, and someone that knows how to use them. We had an older mechanic, retired now, he used to build parts for any of the older machines. Did you say you had a skid steer? To bad you couldn't find one of these
