Mitsubishi on real boggy ground in NZ.
Mitsubishi on real boggy ground in NZ.
A Mitsubishi grader I snapped in NZ, way back in 1996. A developer was using it in conjunction with a number of other items, all hired. Cat 631 scrapers, dozers etc etc. I hadnt seen a configeration like this before or since.

Re: Mitsubishi on real boggy ground in NZ.
Hi, Dozeron.
I reckon it might be interesting to see what effect those dual wheels might have on the axle bearings and tandem case bearings over time.
Here are some photos of a grader that was DESIGNED to carry duals all round. Anybody know what it is? I do know.

Hi Deas,
Ahh yes that is the massive grader built by an Italian firm called Acco, this machine along with a massive dozer featuring an elevated sprocket design (Pre Cat) were designed and built for a contract in Libya I think but the job fell through and as far as I know they never turned a wheel or track in anger!!
I think that they are still preserved some where in Italy to this day

I´m sorry, that thread is in Swedish but at least there are some pictures. And Nick knows enough Swedish to translate.
And of course there are other Swedish members that can translate among us.

Well if they fitted duals to a 16 grader i reckon the tandem bushes would wear quickly. Maybe to the point were they spin in the housing.
Running around site with the difflock in might cause unforseen trouble.
P.S: Deas Plant: Some fantastic pictures you have posted
