Hi, Thibault21.
Thanks for sharing. I have only ever operated one 'Kummagutsa' grader, a GD825, and I have to confess that, all in all, I LIKED it. It had heaps of grunt and could put it on the ground. The controls were not as 'ergonomic' as the Cat G and H series, mainly due to having slightly bigger blade control levers, but still quite user-friendly, with pretty much exactly the same layout as the Cats. It was roughly equivalent to the Cat 16G/H in size, weight and power but could turn inside a Cat 14G. Last but by no means least, it had the cab mounted on the REAR section and the front articulated under the cab. This meant that you could 'feel' where the back end was going and SEE where the front was going.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
