When might you use articulation mode in grading?

Articulation mode in grading refers to the ability of the grader to pivot or bend, which allows it to maneuver in confined or tight spaces effectively. This feature enhances the machine's versatility, enabling it to work in areas where standard operation would be difficult or impossible. By using articulation mode, the operator can navigate corners, curves, or other restricted areas while maintaining precision in grading tasks.

While hard soil, flat surfaces, and large ditches may require specific techniques or settings on the grader, they do not specifically leverage the benefits of articulation mode in the same way that navigating tight spaces does. Articulation is particularly advantageous in settings where spatial constraints challenge traditional grading methods.
