John Deere SmartGrade Motor Graders are fully integrated and calibrated from the factory, arriving at your jobsite ready to work.
Integration into the SmartGrade cabin and structures helps shield key grade-control components such as wire harnesses and sensors from damage and theft.
Controls
Eight arm-rest mounted, fingertip-actuated controls, including lever steer, are arranged in the industry-standard pattern on each side of the standard steering wheel.
Optional dual-joystick controls on GP models require significantly less wrist motion to articulate the motor grader than competitive joystick controls.
Engine
The EPA FT3/EU Stage IV engine.
Auto shutdown turns off the engine after an operator-determined period of time. Saves fuel and reduces wear on engine, transmission, and hydraulic components.
Productivity
Optional Premium Circle: The industry-leading design features a fully sealed bearing and pinion, reducing operating costs while delivering 40-percent more torque and 15-percent more speed than a traditional circle.
Horsepower and torque are optimized for each gear to maximize performance no matter your application.
Equip six-wheel drive models with Precision mode for maximum productivity in all soil conditions. Six-wheel drive is adjustable on the fly.
Six-Wheel-Drive Configuration
Putting its entire weight and all six tries to work, their job-proven dual-path hydrostatic drive boosts productivity in all kinds of work.
Visibility
All around visibility is virtually unobstructed with a clear view to the heel and toe, and behind the moldboard.
