yes I am. During the paving season I am basically grading for at least 8 hours a day. My current machine is a 2009 cat 140M. We put down about 115000 tons of asphalt per season. Matt
Does anyone have/make front fenders for M7040?

Me too. Small World.
I currently run a 2012 JD770G that I broke in new. I maintain 50 miles of rural gravel roads plus installing culverts, pushing snow, whatever else is needed. I've been running a Grader for 26 years.

very cool, not many grader operators around. I first ran a cat 12G, then the 12H and then the company I work for bought the 140m online from texas, it had about 2200 hrs on it and when I finished this season it is over 6000. I mostly work with reclaimers grinding up the asphalt and re-do parking lots and roads. I have been just grading for 5 years. It is more stressful than I would like it to be with the paving crew always right on me.
