Yeh its certainly is a lost art! I would imagine the new M series graders are easier to drive compared to the old grader with all the levers! Its funny in my 22 years on the planet i dont think ive seen as many graders knocking around on sites! Theres UK coals 16M from the pics about 10 miles away then theres 2 16G's about a mile away and a 16H (i think) about a mile in the other dierection.....then i saw a convoy of graders that had been imported from the USA....theses were on wagons on the M1 near Chesterfield last wednesday morning....oh and we had another 16G near chesterfield a few months ago too.....

Cheers

Joe
