It's a Galion, works extremely well. I've got another Galion, but it's a motorgrader and is geared too high for here. Cannot back up my 13% slope driveway. 1st gear is faster than I'd prefer.
For cutting, 4x4 is better and I've got great speed control. This will even create side ditches. Offsets 2 ways, blade tilts both directions, even the rear axle is steerable. It's a wonderful machine. The front axle will go under the frame, allowing it to turn around in the same space the tractor requires. The only difficulty is backing it up.
Anybody thinking about a maintenance machine would do well to look for one. Old's not the only low price seller. Used solo, I occasionally have to stop and go back to make an adjustment, but not often. With practice, you learn how to get it set about right.
I've seen single axle models, never tried one. Well, I've got a steel-wheeled homemade version that's got a huge tank for the cutting edge, tilts side to side but won't angle. A whole lot better than a rear blade, but not quite like a real grader. And yes, a rear blade does live here, don't remember when I last used it.
At one time I was looking for a Huber Maintainer, but those prices are out of sight around here. Especially ones with the front dozer blade. If under $10k, you're buying a project.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
