I received my CCM Cat 16M grader today, I asked in another post how well it would fit on a lowboy, it fits but it's kind of awkward to put it nicely. That being said, who cares? Very nice model, love the details CCM put into this one, from the hydraulic fittings on the hoses to the screen in the engine doors, it's definitely worth it's price. Even the box that it comes in is impressive, as dumb as that sounds.

BTW, it fits on the Sword Nelson ramp trailer but looks like a skyscraper going down the road.

Claus,

Looks the best on the Sword lowboy in black.

Nice photographs, thanks for posting.

Looks great. My thoughts are much the same. An excellent model.

Now . . . When is CCM going to do the D8K?

I wish they would do a D8R in 1/48 Die cast, seems like an easy seller to me.

With CCM having already done the 587T and the PL87 they would seem to have most of the model engineering done for a D8R.

I've never been much of a grader collector. And I don't like the way they sit on a lowboy. Does anyone have some real pictures of graders being hauled. The new CCM looks fine, but still doesn't do much for me. I agree with a D8 somethng in 1:48 by CCM. Chuck,make a Cozad for the love of God. If you have to retool, think about it. If you are just reissuing, I understand the dollars. And please don't make that beam trailer. You'll lose your butt. Just my opinions. CAW
