Quite a few of that style were made around the US. essentially an agricultural tractor with an extended wheelbase.
Vastly less expensive than grader. when I used to see them more regularly in the US auctions they were usually
described as a "maintainer" instead of a grader, and quite sufficient for scratching some gravel on a gravel road.

Obviously not much interest in it as it was still at Cheffins for the December sale !

hi Graham,still going strong.
I finally got my 621 home this evening,it will be remodelled shortly into a hydraulic box so if anybodies looking for a 621 engine give me a call.

Hi Neil,is the 621 for the D9 and have you any shots of it yet?

[Neil D]

hi Nick,
No, I already have a hydraulic box for the D9,this is a project for later on this year and I need a few parts off the tractor for the other 627,s. Plantman was with me on thursday when we loaded her on the lowloader at Kinnegad and has a bunch of photos so I will ask him to post some. I`m having computer problems at present so its hard to keep up with everybody

hi Aveling-Barford built a similar machine called the R M It was built on a ford major farm tractor made mainly for the Forestery Commission in the 1960s

Huber made grader/maintainer like that from a Huber tractor. Later I think theycombined with Athey and made a uintised frame machine that was hydroststatic. There was one here in my home town a few years ago with a paving crew that had a loader on front. M wife and I got to St Augustine FLorida for vacation on our anniversary. THat place is crawling with them. Every 4th site had one last year. Most had backhoe styled tires or turf saver tires.

One that I spoke to the owner and operator had a grubbing rake on one side of the dozer blade for clearing palmettos off the shoulder ahead of the moldboard.
