Key Features
IT4 Certified Engine
Increased circle throat clearance
Delivers unsurpassed all-around visibility
Highly efficient HVAC system
Engine
Our IT4/EU Stage IIIB technology is simple, fuel efficient, fully integrated, and fully supported. It employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOx, and a diesel particulate filter and diesel oxidation catalyst to reduct particulate matter. Periodic active and passive regeneration automatically cleans the filter without impacting machine productivity.
IT4/EU Stage IIIB diesel particulate filter is easily removed through the top of the engine compartment. Minimum service interval is 5,000 hours, and must be done by a John Deere dealer or other qualified service provider.
On IT4/EU Stage IIIB-equipped graders, exhaust filter operation and maintenance status are indicated with on-screen displays.
Serviceability
The fuel tank is located at the rear of the machine, underneath the engine frame. The 110-gallon capacity tank provides plenty of fuel for a full day’s work, is easily filled from ground level, and is fully protected by a steel bottom guard. Fast fuel is capable of handling up to 150 GPM.
Hydraulic, axle, and transmission oil filters are all conveniently located in a service bank on the right side of the machine. All filters are easily accessable.
The fluid sampling valves are color-coded and have been simplified for service.
The fluid bank is easy to access for fast evacuation and fluid refills, resulting in increased uptime. All critical fluid reservoir caps have been color-coded for easy identification.
Powertrain
Purpose-built PowerShift™ transmission employs durable heavy-duty clutches and bearings, for reliable performance, shift after shift.
Six-wheel drive configuration puts the entire weight of the grader and 6 tires to work. The dual-path hydrostatic drive boasts productivity and all kinds of work. From blue-topping to heavy dirt work, G-Series 6WD graders are more productive in all kinds of applications compared to their conventional counterparts.
Automatic differential lock stays engaged when traveling straight, disengages in turns exceeding 10°, and re-engages when returning to straight.
Event-Based-Shifting transmission software senses the load on the engine, as well as other inputs, to create the optimum smooth shift each time the operator selects a new gear.
