Teaching My Kids to operate a Vintage Motor Grader @MartyT

Uploaded August 2025 | Updated September 2026, 5 hours ago

In this vid, my 7 and 9-year-old kids got their first lesson in operating my vintage 12-ton, 6-wheel Aveling Barford motor grader.
We tackled a section of our 3 km rural forest driveway, smoothing out mounds and rough patches.
The kids worked the levers to adjust the blade while I handled the steering, throttle, and brakes. They picked it up amazingly fast and had a blast helping with some real roadwork!
