I always want one of the graders, but it looks like it would take 12 arms to use it. Nice looking machine.

That is purtier than you let on, Fred, can't wait to see it up close. Give me a hollar when you have time. NCAllisnut, that is where I'm sure I'd have had to ride if I could've gone along, guess he found someone else to buy meals LOL...Harvey

Yeah, I know the maintainers are rarer, and pricier, than the patrols. Either way, it still looks like you need twelve arms to run it and actually grade something. I don't think it would matter on one as nice as yours, I wouldn't want to wear the paint off the blade.

Never seen one before. That has the styled hood but the muffler out the side like the un-styled ones. What's the story on them? Neat looking.

Think for yourself and be your own expert. Be willing to change your mind; however, willingness to change your mind doesn’t mean that you will. Blindly following any path is the pinnacle of insanity.

Very Very Nice!!!
I couldn't help but to notice the bee hive chain. That one might be long enough for all 4 sides. I cut a set of mine to have just for hauling tractors and the such.

Very nice tractor Fred. I've never seen a Maintainer, only pics of Calvin's. A fair number of WC Patrols in our area, but no Maintainers. I would say it was well worth the drive. What else did you find on the drive??LOL

I have to say that is one great pickup. Yes, in my estimation, it was well worth the trip.
I look forward to seeing it when I visit.
Good Luck!
