So badass! Here's an idea I've been thinking of. Using a helicopter gyro to automatically level the blade no matter the angle of the ground/tires? One less thing to operate on that beast!

Even the dashboard looks amazing! Wow. Nice job on plumbing up the hydraulic lines! If I could pick a build of the year, this would be it!

I really like how fluid your 14m controls are when she comes to life and the footprints in the sand are pretty cool also. You nailed it... Very nicely done!

Grader looks great with the steering working. Sound unit in it also sounds very good and clear. Now all we need is some sand or dirt along with paint and you will have one very amazing project.

Just awesome, looks like its almost ready for the gps setup! Lol, are you going to add rippers to it at anytime? Looks like you don't have to worry to much about the front end being pushed out by the all wheel drivin rear! Great job!!

I had to get a new radio gear to get all the function work, so I went and bought this Graupner 12 channel radio. Those 12 channel will just be enough, but I can´t add any more functions like the ripper. I still have to add two more switches and the I can operate everything. Those self centering switches are quite handy to operate the hydraulic valves.

Not much to report here, I´ve been slowly painting some parts.
I have never liked painting, but now I bought a small spray booth which makes it a little easier.

Nice job! What an incredible machine you have made.

It must be a blast to operate.

Moving right along Ari .. I thought the completed grader looked great without paint, but now with paint it will be enjoyable watching the paint disappear.
