What Over $60,000 Gets You
What to Expect
New machines with factory grade control. John Deere 333G with SmartGrade ($100,000-$140,000), Cat 262D3 with Cat Grade ($75,000-$100,000). Top precision and productivity.
Tradeoffs
Significant capital. GPS grade control adds $15,000-$40,000 to the machine price. Monthly subscription fees for correction signals ($200-$500/month).
Best Strategy
Justified for commercial grading contractors running 30+ hours/week. SmartGrade or Cat Grade eliminates string lines and grade checkers — labor savings exceed the cost.
