Crossley Grader with tracks

I remember, that a member has posted one or two years ago, photos from a tracked grader with tracks, which is made by Crossley. Do someone know this one:

Hello Graderfan,,
Would that be the same machine? Bruce Crossley of Watheroo WA constructed it from a new Chinese grader and the front of a Steiger Quadtrack. Always wondered how the tracks and rollers would handle the continual side thrust.
Looking at Swishy's last Bobcat pic I don't think that would be steerable with an angled blade.

Yes, that is the machine which i posted. It is sad that not much photos from the Crossley grader exist.

Here another photo which i can use, get it from an australien member on flickr.com :

Somebody was pretty ambitious putting that many ripper shanks in!

Yes, it has many ripper shanks, like a Cat 18M for example or there are some 16Ms which has 7 ripper shanks.

Hi Gradefan
Yes the bobcat is very steerable both on tracks,
Or on tyres with the grader attachment,
Even with the blade fully angled the front wheels are castord
If you're really serious and fit laser gear they make a fast accurate grader top gear perfect for slab prep
Keep up the great posts

Have find an interesting video from a Bobcat Grader how it works on Youtube:
