On six-wheel-drive models precision mode allows the operator to manage a consistent speed via dial switch instead of inching pedal, maximizing productivity in all soil conditions. Six-wheel drive is adjustable on the fly to capably traverse difficult jobsites.
Power and Balance
Increased engine horsepower, torque, and blade pull over earlier models produce generous power and lugging ability, to deliver more power to the ground, easily pull through tough spots, or tackle steep hills. John Deere motor graders are designed with optimal weight distribution over each axle, for outstanding balance and grading performance.
Choice of Controls
Our P-Tier Graders let you choose how work gets done. Our Grade Pro option provides fatigue-minimizing electrohydraulic (EH) controls that are armrest mounted. Opt for state-of-the-art dual-joystick or fingertip controls that mimic the conventional control pattern. The best of both worlds is available with a field kit that allows you to easily swap between the two. Our P-Tier models also offer conventional lever-operated controls. And based on customer feedback, all models still have a steering wheel.
Cross Slope
Standard on Grade Pro-optioned machines, cross slope maintains slopes by automatically adjusting one side of the blade while the operator controls the other. Cross slope can also be operated in "manual mode" as a slope meter. Automated cross slope simplifies holding a consistent slope by reducing operation to a single lever. Both dual-joystick and fingertip controls come equipped with cross slope.
