2023 Brandt Government Motor Graders 870G/GP

It's easy to see why the 870G/GP Motor Grader is destined to become an industry favourite. Visibility is clearly unsurpassed, with a large expanse of floor-to-ceiling tinted glass, narrow front console, and streamlined saddle arms giving way to a commanding view of the work at hand. What's more, the spacious walk-through cab's many amenities provide all of the fatigue-beating comfort and quiet an operator could ever want. So you can count on the kind of productivity you need.

Features may include:

• 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 accessible.

• The fluid-samplying 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.

• The new mainframe shape allows for improved blade clearance, throat clearance, blade reach, and easier rotation into the bank-cut position.

• Heavy-duty tapered roller bearing in the artiuclatoin joint provides unsurpassed durability.

• With NeverGrease pin joints, greasing time is reduced by 56 percent and the joints are kept tight for longer, more productive operation. These pins are especially important in keeping joints tight when running Integrated Grade Control (IGC).

• Narrow center console and streamlined blade saddle bring the moldboard and front tires within focus. On Grade Pro (GP) models, conventional control linkages have been eliminated and steering wheel diameter reduced, further enhancing the view.

• Purpose-built PowerShift Plus transmission employes durable heavy-duty clutches and bearings, for reliable performance, shift after shift.

• With five true working speeds below 16 km/h (10mph) and a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph), it's easy to match ground speed to the work. AutoShift option automatically shifts gears four through eight, for even easier operation.

• Automatic differential lock stays engaged when travelling straight, disengages in turns exceeding 10 degrees, and re-engages when returning to straight.

• Event-Based Shifting (EBS) transmission software senses the load on the engine, as well as other inputs, to create an optimally smooth shift each time the operator selects a new gear.
