What is neat with that big old Cat is the operator doesn't have to do much more than you are sitting at the puter. The blade has the recievers for the GPS and feeds it all into the puter on board. The program in the puter is for the final grade and makes the adjustments as needed.
They had two of them big puppies at Robson Ranch when I did the entryway gates. I noticed an old boy out there with a sight level guiding the grader because of a change in the landscape plan. I asked him about his transit. He explained he didn't have one. The survey comes out on a program that's put in the equipment and along with GPS it's almost automatic. They only time they need a transit is when the customer makes a change at the last minute.
