I guess its only fitting that this grader come from Rhode Island which is our smallest state! Its a neat little unit and I guess very handy if you can get the job done with 22hp and 3200 lbs total weight. I imagine the blade control system is worth 3 times as much as the grader.

Do you think this little guy has dreams for when he grows up? A Volvo, maybe a Cat M series, or maybe he would prefer a Deere as a role model?

I think its a new option on your large grader for working tight corners. Push a button and this little guy comes out the back.

Glad you like the humor, but I don't want to come off like I'm putting the Laser Grader down. I really like the product and being in the "mini" grader business I have great respect for them. But lets look at this whole mini term people like to use. A CAT 140M is approximately 115% heavier and 67% more HP than the Champion compact grader. The Champion is 385% heavier and 380% more horsepower than the Laser Grader. All of a sudden I'm feeling pretty large!

One more post

I thought this little guy deserved one more pic. I actually found this one working a 1 mile from our factory doing a pad for mini warehouses. Parked my truck beside it to help show the size.

Now put an enclosed cab on THAT and let the whingers loose.

Hi, MKTEF and Brian.
I want one to go along with the rest of my models in my new model shelves. LOL.

Now put an enclosed cab on THAT and let the whingers loose to complain about lack of space.

LOL.

Thanks for the photos.
