Choosing motor graders for the job

Moldboard condition, circle wear, articulation, tandem drive and grade-control equipment deserve close attention. All-wheel drive, front attachments and ripper/scarifier packages can materially change suitability.

Machine types and configurations

  • Compact and municipal
  • Construction
  • Mining and haul-road
  • All-wheel-drive
  • Snow-equipped

Specifications that matter

SpecificationWhy it matters
Operating weightDefines machine class, transport exposure and stability context.
HorsepowerCompare the same power rating standard and the demands of the intended work.
Moldboard lengthMust suit the material, work envelope, machine geometry and configuration.
All-wheel driveCompare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Circle and sideshiftCompare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Ripper/scarifierCheck the fitted tool, mounting points and hydraulic controls against the material to loosen.
Grade-control systemConfirm installed hardware, software access and compatibility with your site workflow.

Before buying used

  • Measure circle, drawbar and moldboard play
  • Inspect tandem cases and articulation joints
  • Confirm steering modes, hydraulic functions and electronic controls
Ownership costs to consider

Cost drivers

  • Circle, drawbar and moldboard wear
  • Tandem cases and driveline
  • Articulation and steering joints
  • Tires and grade-control components
Plan your transport

Transport checklist

  • Position moldboard for transport
  • Include front blade, wing and ripper
  • Record articulation and operating status
  • Confirm actual length, height and axle profile
