Compact Line Serves Diverse Buyers

According to Champion, its C60B and C66B are designed as "maintainer"

machines, and the C70B is aimed at more cost-conscious buyers. The recently redesigned C80C and C86C, however, are full-featured compact machines that "think like big graders," says Champion.

Number of models: 5

New models: C80C and C86C

Product-line features: The tandem-drive C80C and the six-wheel-drive C86C are articulating, hydrostatically driven, Cummins-powered models that feature a heavy-duty front axle using spherical bearings and providing 50 degrees of steering angle (left and right). The 21-inch-tall moldboard is designed to minimize spillover and to allow ample adjustment, while the 4-foot blade-lift-stance is aimed at enhancing blade control.

Recent Design Overhaul

Deere's new D-Series range of motor graders, introduced a bit more

than a year ago, reflect significant design enhancements compared to their C-Series counterparts. New to the Deere range with the D-Series are the six-wheel-drive 872D and its tandem-drive companion model, the 870D. The standard cab forthe D-Series is a low-profile design, but a full-height or "tall" cab is optionally available.

Number of models: 6

New models: 670D, 672D, 770D, 772D, 870D and 872D

Product-line features: In addition to new emissions-compliant engines, the D-Series features redesigned moldboard and draft-frame geometry, new pressure-compensated/load-sensing hydraulic system, new cab and new transmission-control system (Event-Based Shifting). The new shift-control system electronically senses load and speed parameters, and then determines optimum engagement/disengagement rates for hydraulic clutches to promote smooth shifts. Operational directional changes can be made without the inching pedal.
