I have a Cottage that is located on a private road (About 1/2 mile long). The road is gravel and really gets rough in the summer months but also gets very narrow in the winter months due to Snow fall and no place to put it.(Cannot push the snow back far enough).
I am looking at a motor grader to purchase to maintain the road some what so it is passable for emergency vehicles to drive down it in case of fire or medical emergency. There are ten other cottages located on the road as well,..six are year round residents. Hoping they will chip in some $$$ for this venture.
The price of the Grader is $4,700.00 I already have driven it and all hydraulics are good.(No Leaks) Engine is a Detroit Diesel and runs strong. Tires are in good shape all around and the transmission shifts good in all ranges. It has a cab heater that works.All the glass is good,no cracks. Needs new head lights and tail lights. The Blade works great in all positions and so does the scarver. Power steering that works good.
It is a late 1960's -early 1970's model. So what do you think? Is it a good buy or am I just day dreaming? All suggestions and opinions appreciated.
