grader_comparison

The cab probably needs to be lowered a bit.

 

This gif compares the 2D side-view of various motor graders. The shots have been scaled to give the same wheelbase from front axle to tandem.

You can see that the proportions are vaguely similar even between graders of very different size, but that obviously the scaled cab has a very different impact on the look of the grader.

 

In order of appearance, roughly by size:
