10 MOST HATED Motor Graders from the 1990s

The 1990s were supposed to be the golden age of motor graders. More horsepower, electronic controls, powershift transmissions, and advanced hydraulics promised a new era of productivity. But not every machine lived up to the hype. In this video, we count down the 10 most hated motor graders of the 1990s — machines that frustrated operators, drained maintenance budgets, and became nightmares for fleet managers. From the parts-starved Fiat-Allis FG85A and Dresser 870 to the infamous Champion 700 Series graders plagued by electrical gremlins, these machines earned reputations that still follow them today. Discover why the Komatsu GD670A-2 struggled in North America, how the Galion 850 became a cautionary tale of brand decline, and why even a John Deere grader made this list. Some suffered from poor support networks, others from chronic reliability issues, and a few became nearly impossible to repair due to discontinued parts. If you enjoy heavy equipment history, motor graders, construction machinery, equipment failures, and industry stories, this video is for you.
