Using a 96-inch or 108-inch grader attachment on a Bobcat skid-steer or compact track loader is an economical alternative to dozers and an efficient method of spreading and grading material, especially on job sites that larger equipment can’t access. It will move as much material as a small, dedicated dozer and when used with the Bobcat laser-control system, it will grade material to within plus-or-minus 0.25 inch of the desired grade.
Bobcat graders have blades that move six different ways to grade any surface. A new feature available on heavy-duty graders is hydraulic side shift, which moves the blade as much as 13 inches to the left or right, making it easier to grade next to buildings, poles and other obstacles. A proportional hydraulic valve provides three speeds at which the moldboard is raised or lowered so operation is more closely matched to the speed of the loader.
