Wild idea. Do you think it's possible to make a road grader attachment for a skid steer?
Open for discussion and design input, criticism, dismissal, or fuel for thoughts on the idea.
Imagine the front end of a small grader cut off in front of the cab with a QA plate welded on it.

Pros;
Skid steer has 4 wheel drive set up located similar to a road grader.
My Bobcat 773 has 50+ hp - enough to push a blade.
Blade visibility would be good.
Aux hydraulic line could angle the blade.

Cons;
Skid steer drive wheels steer the machine so front tires would have to be fixed or swivel mounted.
1 aux line means blade angle control or tilt. i of these functions could be manual like swivel and pin for the angle

What do you think about this idea?

There are commercial versions. Look at them to see how it's done.

Here's the first that showed up on a search:


A short cut might be a caster-wheeled frame that used a 3-point rear blade.

They would very well.
I have an 8' model on a 100hp SS, it's rugged and heavy and I can highly recommend it.
The factory "grader" set ups I think would be great if I had the electric plug to operate the solenoids for almost real grader adjustability, but without this the Roadrunner was my choice.

I've seen several home made rigs at farm auctions. Good looking, functional rigs.
