Last week i was unable to post since i was in Birmingham AL at a highway construction competition. My team took home first place so the 36 sleepless hours we spent toiling over the project was well worth it.
Now, back to the task at hand. For this weeks post i read another article from Better Roads, this one discussing the new John Deere Motor Grader. The new grader offers unequaled choices for operator comforts like fingertip controls and an LCD screen for monitoring critical aspects of the machine. A rear view camera provides an added measure of safety as the machine navigates on a job site. Additionally, a Grade Pro Package is offered for high-production grading operations like road construction. This package provides additional operator comforts like a high back, air ride operators chair. The added comfort plus enhanced cross slope controls and 6 wheel drive, coupled with never grease joints and self diagnostic system mean the new grader can work longer shifts for lower daily operating costs. All this technology combines to help inexperienced operators while still saving on fuel consumption; technology is no longer a stranger to the dirt and grime of high production machinery.
