Davis, P.E. l' REFERENCES: <br />Public Works Director <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />During the past week, the County Road and Bridge Department has had <br />possession of a Fiat Allis FG 75 Road Grader for demonstration purposes. <br />As a result of County operators using the machine for finish grading and <br />new road construction, the following analysis is presented: <br />1) Operator visibility is limited as a result of the design of,,thq,circle <br />turnstile and other components. The operators have a difficult time <br />seeing grade stakes. <br />2) When excavating Swale ditches in sandy soils the grader did not <br />maintain sufficient traction resulting in rear wheels spinning. <br />3) The throttle pedals were located in a different position than all <br />other graders in the fleet. This would result in operators having to <br />adjust their habitual operations. <br />4) The Fiat Allis does not meet bid specifications on brake type, forward <br />speeds, and other minor items. <br />32 <br />r � � <br />
