I am thinking of possibly purchasing a Fiat Allis 65B grader. I know they are a newer model of the famous AC D and DD series graders. I am no stranger to graders although I have never owned an AC or Fiat Allis although years ago I spent a little time on an AD4. I currently own a small Galion 503A and would like to update to something a little newer like a 65B with an Iveco engine. I was wondering if any body had any opinions on these machines? Thanks!

I have a DD grader, I don't use it much but love it. Be sure to get the tilting front wheels, makes steering a lot easier, and is great for taking trim strips offn car doors, when they gets too close...

from all accounts the 65B was a excellent little grader. So much so that some of the ex AC engineering staff bought the rights to build it and still sell it today as the Norall 65B grader. Spelling may not be quite right ! ------------- tits tyres and tracks they all cost you money |

Bump! Just wondering if any one else had a comment. I posted over on Heavy Equip Forum too. At least nothing bad, so that's a good sign. LockhartWC |
