[AT] Re: [Farmall] Info on HUber Grader

[Mike Sloane]

I have been wanting a Huber for a very long time, Lane. I have two miles 
of private dirt lane that is in constant need of attention, and a rear 
blade on a tractor just doesn't make it.

Huber made a LOT of different models, going back to the '40s, so there 
isn't one description that would cover them. Early ones were open and 
had mechanical controls but later ones had cabs, hydraulics, front 
buckets, etc. You might want to contact Douglas Equipment Co. out your 
way - he seems to specialize in Huber "Maintainers" (as they were called).

While I would love to have one, they are too big for most trailers to 
carry and would require equipment I don't have access to. I would guess 
that most of them are about the same size as your Trojan. The big 
difference is that the operator stands up in the back - behind the rear 
axle!
