Either way, levers are arranged in the familiar industry-standard pattern, and deliver smooth, predictable response.Your choice of EPA Tier 2, 3, or Interim Tier 4 (EU Stage II, IIIA, and IIIB) fuel-effi cient John Deere diesels deliver generous displacement, power, and lugging ability. (Tier 2 not available in the U.S.A. and Canada.) Grade Pro models arrive Integrated Grade Control (IGC) ready, simplifying the addition of the grade-control system of your choice. Production-boosting GP features such as automated cross-slope control and pushbutton-activated return-to-straight make the most of a seasoned operator’s skills. And help improve an inexperienced operator’s game.Long-term durability is bolstered by larger-than-usual articulation joint roller bearings, big-displacement wet-sleeve diesel engines, and heavy-duty transmissions, to list just a few. Standard equipped with JDLink Ultimate™, you have 24/7 anywhere computer access to your grader’s location, utilization, dashboard alerts, fuel consumption, diagnostic codes, and hours. Plus geofencing, curfew, and numerous other capabilities.Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black DKAGGDR Page 445It’s easy to see why these graders are destined to become industry favorites. Visibility is clearly unsurpassed, with a large expanse of fl oor-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.Seeing is believing. Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black DKAGGDR Page 5Which grader’s visibility is truly best-in-class? Depends on where you’re looking. On ours, you have an unobstructed view of the things you need to see. Like the heel and toe, and back side of the blade. Even the area beneath the front axle is clearly visible, so you can see oncoming obstacles.Narrow center console and streamlined saddle bring the blade and front tires within focus. On GP models (shown), control linkages have been eliminated and front windows lowered 114 mm (41/2 in.) to further enhance blade visibility. We’ve got your back with large adjustable mirrors that give a clear view of the tandems and ripper. If you need to see more, an optional camera displays the action behind you on the color LCD monitor in front of you.Highly effi cient HVAC system employs 13 directional vents for superior all-season comfort. Sliding side glass and available swing-out lower front windows add ventilation. Standard 15-amp converter (30-amp available) and two 12-volt outlets provide convenient power for cell phones and other electronic devices. Storage is generous with numerous overhead compartments, plus a place for a beverage, cooler, cell phone, and other carryons.Tinted glass, adjustable front and rear shades, and extended roofl ine help reduce glare. Standard front and rear intermittent wipers and rear window defogger also help keep the view clear. Heated mirrors are available.Pushbutton-activated cruise control helps reduce operator fatigue. Simply depress the brake or throttle pedals to return to manual operation.1. Multi-language LCD monitor gives pushbutton access to a wealth of machine info including vital and general operating conditions, diagnostic codes, and even the activity behind you (when equipped with camera). On IT4/EU Stage IIIB-equipped graders, exhaust fi lter operation and maintenance status are indicated with on-screen displays. 2. Sealed-switch module provides pushbutton control of 25 machine functions including keyless start. When enabled, keyless start requires a numeric pass code that helps prevent unauthorized machine operation.3. Yet another example of doing things your way — an alternate mounting position on the right-side ROPS post makes it easy to relocate the monitor, giving way to a grade-control panel.12343215Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black DKAGGDR Page 667The genius behind our grader controls.Armed with input from the people who run them, we set out to design the ideal operating system for our next-generation graders. You talked, we listened, and that’s why we offer a choice. 1. With high/wide-back and heated lower cushion, the GP grader’s air-suspension seat provides exceptional daylong comfort.2. Automated cross-slope simplifi es holding a consistent slope by reducing operation to a single lever. An operator simply selects the desired slope and the side of the blade that will be manually controlled. Once set, the system automatically adjusts the opposite blade-lift cylinder to maintain the slope. It’s a Grade Pro exclusive that helps veteran operators be their best and inexperienced operators get up-to-speed more quickly.3. Cross-slope monitor can also be used as a slope meter. Colored bars on the LCD screen indicate the blade position in relation to the desired slope — to help stay on grade.4. At the touch of a button, return-to-straight automatically straightens an articulated frame. For quicker work cycles. 5. If your work doesn’t require an automated grade-control system, choose a G-Series model. Conventional mechanical levers are positioned in the industry-accepted pattern on both sides of the steering wheel and deliver precise, predictable, low-effort control.Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black DKAGGDR Page 7For unsurpassed productivity with a grade-control system, opt for a GP model. Eight armrest-mounted fi ngertip-actuated controls, including steering lever, are arranged in the industry-standard pattern on each side of the steering wheel. Unlike the joysticks used in other graders, your operator won’t have to relearn the controls. Or be concerned about unintentionally actuating hydraulic functions when turning, backing up, working on a slope, or V-ditching. No extra levers required for grade control. Instead, knob-integrated pushbuttons provide convenient, fi ngertip activation.Beyond their predictable operator-friendly controls, GP models come equipped with cross-slope, return-to-straight, and IGC ready. These and numerous other value-added advantages quickly pay for themselves in increased productivity. Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black DKAGGDR Page 889Best-in-class lever efforts are combined with Pressure-Compensated Load-Sensing (PCLS) hydraulics to ensure consistent, predictable, and precise response.Automatic differential lock stays engaged when travelling straight, disengages in turns exceeding 10 degrees, and re-engages when returning to straight. With fi ve true working speeds below 16 km/h (10 mph) 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.When engine-stall prevention senses an overload, the system automatically shifts the transmission to neutral and issues a visual alert. This John Deere exclusive helps prolong uptime and engine life. Choose from front scarifi er, mid-mount scarifi er, or rear scarifi er/ripper. There’s also a front-lift option that simplifi es adding a bulldozer blade or V-plow.Optimized moldboard curvature and generous circle torque help keep blades heaped and loads rolling.Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black DKAGGDR Page 91423Levels everything but the playing fi eld.1. Throat clearance between the top of the blade and bottom of the circle has increased signifi cantly, for better material fl ow across the blade. Blade clearance has also increased, making it easier to navigate over obstacles.2. Jackscrew-adjusted side-shift wear inserts keep the moldboard tight and precise. Takes only minutes to return tolerances to factory spec.3. Exclusive ball-and-socket draft-frame pivot and seven-position saddle provide best-in-class blade setup and improved ditch cutting, ditch cleaning, and reach outside the tires.4. GP models come factory equipped with bulkhead connectors, sensor mounts, electrical wiring harnesses, integrated controls, and exclusive universal moldboard mast mounts. So adding Trimble, TOPCON, or other grade-control systems is neat, quick, and noninvasive.Sporting a different profi le than their popular predecessors, the G-Series’ taller mainframe lets these highly productive graders shoulder larger loads and navigate more easily over obstacles. Provides plenty of clearance for a mid-mount scarifi er, and simplifi es blade setup and operation, too. You won’t fi nd easier-running graders, either. Our exclusive Event-Based Shifting (EBS) transmission delivers smooth-as-silk gear and direction changes, for exceptional control and grading precision without extra effort. There’s nothing else like them. Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black DKAGGDR Page 101 2 31011Nothing runs likea Deere, because nothing is built like one.Downtime is lost time. Which is why we loaded-up these graders with durability-enhancing advantages that promise to deliver years of trouble-free service. Large-displacement heavy-duty wet-sleeve diesel engines. Larger-than-usual axle shafts, differential locks, hydraulic cylinders, and front axles. Biggest-in-class articulation joint roller bearings. And solid-state electronics and sealed-switch modules, to list just a few. When you know how they’re built, you’ll run a John Deere.1. Our IT4/EU Stage IIIB technology is simple, fuel effi cient, fully integrated, and fully supported. It employs fi eld-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOx, and a diesel particulate fi lter and diesel oxidation catalyst to reduce particulate matter. Periodic active and passive regeneration automatically cleans the fi lter without impacting machine productivity.2. High-strength circle and draft frame withstand high-impact loads. Available blade-impact system further protects structural components from damage caused by run-ins with obstructions. 3. Switch module and electrical center employ circuit-board technology that reduces connections from 25 to 1, and wires from 100 to 4. Solid-state seals and switches keep out moisture and debris, and are proven reliable for more than two million cycles.4. Front axles are built to last with exclusive heavy-duty tapered roller bearing kingpins. In addition, steel guards and thick rubber coverings protect the hoses on six-wheel-drive models.

Or choose your preferred cleaning cycles through the in-cab monitor.Self-adjusting wet-disc brakes are mounted inboard, where they run cool, clean, and unexposed to corrosive materials. Purpose-built PowerShift™ transmission employs durable heavy-duty clutches and bearings, for reliable performance, shift after shift.Separate transmission, hydraulic, and axle fi ltration and cooling systems prevent cross-contamination for longer component life.Exclusive auto-shutdown applies the brakes and turns off the engine after an operator-determined time of idling. Saves fuel and reduces wear on engine, transmission, and hydraulic components.123Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black 1213Grounds for a John Deere six-wheel-drive grader.1. Steering system automatically adjusts the speed of the outside front tire while increasing pull to provide full-power turns. 2. If traction and speed are what you need, choose either of the two larger models and get six-wheel drive through 7th gear and 32 km/h (20 mph).3. Power is nothing without control. On our six-wheel-drive graders, the front wheels engage smoothly and in sync with the rear tandems — making them highly adept at fi nishing. John Deere tandem-drive graders are plenty productive. But if you want to improve your ground game even more, choose a six-wheel-drive confi guration. Putting their entire weight and all six tires to work, their job-proven dual-path hydrostatic drive boosts productivity in all kinds of work. And enables them to accomplish almost everything easier and with fewer passes than their conventional counterparts. DKAGGDR Page 12Vertis QCA1300 19th Street, Suite 200East Moline, IL 61244Cyan Magenta Yellow Black DKAGGDR Page 13From blue-topping to heavy dirt work, G-Series six-wheel-drive graders are more productive in all kinds of applications. Exclusive power-management system balances the demand between the front and rear wheels, delivering smooth six-wheel power. Six-wheel drive enables these graders to work across steep slopes, carry big loads through corners, and direct the front wheels while ditching without spinning out.1425 63DKAGGDR Page 1414151.
