Enhanced, productive motor graders

The G series allows the operator to choose between traditional mechanical controls or the “Grade Pro” system via low effort, armrest-mounted fingertip controls.

Both control systems use the familiar industry standard layout while keeping a traditional steering wheel, but the Grade Pro system gives the operator the additional choice of using lever steering.

The Grade Pro system also has productivity-enhancing features such as cross-slope, integrated grade control and automatic return to straight.

All models in the series are fitted with large capacity, Tier 3 compliant engines with common rail fuel injection and variable geometry turbochargers, which enable the graders to keep pushing under heavy loads while still providing low running costs.

The G series’ powershift transmission also uses “Event Based Shifting”, which senses the load on the engine as well as other inputs to determine the optimum shift time when the operator selects a new gear.
