Making the grade

Bobcat Co. of West Fargo, N.D., and Trimble have teamed up to improve receivers for laser-guided grading with Bobcat box-blade or grader attachments. The new receivers (Circle 902) provide near-perfect precision of grade and combine new features that improve accuracy and speed while making it easier to make adjustments to the grade.
Instead of getting out of the cab to raise and lower the transmitter, operators can adjust the grade from the cab using the Selectable Joystick Controls and an easy-to-read cab display. With in-cab grade control, operators can change the blade position up to 2 in. in either direction to quickly alter the grade.
