Caught a glimpse of this in an trade publication today. Comments?
What are the advantages over a grader?
It's not really intended to replace a grader, but has very good fine grading capability with a GPS system at high speeds (6-11mph). Along with that fine grading, you still have the ability to push material and pull attachments.
There's a lengthy discussion on this machine here:
Isn't their big draw on that for military applications? It can get places fast, and work faster then a conventional dozer.
With a top speed of 18mph, it's not going to get anywhere fast.....
What is the top speed of a conventional tracked dozer? Doesn't seem to be fast.
Usually dozers run between 6 and 7 mph flat out.
What is your idea of fast?
