MOLINE, IL - John Deere has been a company of firsts, introducing the industry's first articulated motor grader and the first dual path hydrostatic front-wheel drive system. Now the tradition continues: John Deere has revolutionized motor graders with its new G-Series, offering users a choice of console-mounted industry standard controls or armrest-mounted industry standard fingertip controls, as well as features like cross slope control, automatic differential lock and a rearview camera.

"With the G-Series, it's not 'one size fits all' - you're free to choose the control style that makes you the most comfortable and productive," said Kent Stickler, product marketing manager for motor graders, John Deere Construction & Forestry. "And every grader has a steering wheel, no matter which control pattern you pick."

Using extensive customer input and the successful D-Series as a platform, Deere is introducing six G-Series models, ranging from 185 to 275 net hp, each engineered for increased productivity, reliability, durability, serviceability and low daily operating costs.

Choices for Everyone
With its G-Series graders, Deere is offering the industry unequalled choices. In controls, choose from the console-mounted low-effort industry standard control pattern or intuitive and easy-to-use armrest-mounted industry standard fingertip controls. If an operator specifies the fingertip controls, he'll still have a choice between using lever steering or the ever-present steering wheel.

Either way, G-Series controls provide a smooth, predictable response and plenty of power whether the application calls for heavy blading or fine grading.
