I really know nothing of motor graders myself but that one seems to be worth the money, (from an inexperienced eye).

Fully equipped with all the options available to that machine. Tires alone are almost worth the cost.

Interesting movie. They had one out in Mechanicsburg at the proving grounds but I never seen it operate. Never did know anything about motor graders other than a local horse boarding stable outfit used one often for their track maintenance. Another guy I know maintains his stock car track outside of Canton with a grader, but don't know that machine at all.

Only hard to master aspect of that series is the mechanical controls, NOTHING Hydraulic so absolutely NO FEATHERING, engage/Disengage Only. Called these Hand Bruisers or slappers, as name implies, can be really hard as to getting soft on controls. Speed is not all that considered, engine speed and gearing keep blade aspects changes relatively slow but have to be pretty quick on the E/D part of that equation.

Series 12 Cats were really close in style.

I do remember those mechanical controls. Not as an operator but as a child walking home from school. A couple of times the grader operator picked me up and gave me a ride home as he was grading the road that passed by our home.
