The Fremont grader is an implement designed by Forest Service personnel on the Fremont National Forest, Lake-view Ranger District, in Oregon for finish tread work and light maintenance (Figures 23, 24). The tool is based on a double ski platform with a blade mounted on a removable turntable that is adjustable for cutting depth. The implement will grade a tread of approximately 28 in (710 mm). The grader cannot be disassembled for packing. The only removable parts are the blade, turntable, handles, and hitch chain. The weight is approximately 200 lb (91 kg).
