2023 Brandt Government Motor Graders 872G/GP

Offering one-of-a-kind advantages and unequalled options, our 872G Motor Grader lets you decide how the work gets done. Choose a full-featured Grade Pro (GP) model with state-of-the-art fingertip armrest controls. Or opt for conventional lever-operated machines. In a six-wheel-drive configuration. Loaded for bear, or barely loaded, this brawny blade comes standard-equipped with heavy-duty durability and uptime-boosting features including a fuel-efficient nine-liter PowerTech™ diesel, easy-access filter bank, and simple-to-clean swing-out coolers. That's only the beginning.

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.
