The 1996 Champion 720A IV VHP Motor Grader is a heavy-duty earthmoving machine optimized for precision grading and road construction. It features a 14-foot moldboard with a height ranging between 24 to 27 inches, allowing for efficient surface shaping and material handling. The grader is powered by a turbocharged Cummins 6CT8.3 six-cylinder engine producing a gross output of approximately 204 horsepower at 2300 RPM, delivering a maximum torque of 540 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, ensuring robust performance for demanding jobs. It uses a countershaft torque converter powershift transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, enabling a maximum forward speed near 29 mph and a reverse speed over 20 mph. The machine has a wheelbase and overall length approximately 27 feet 10 inches, with 14.00-24 sized bias tires on multipiece rims standard for stability and traction. Its operating weight is around 32,280 lbs, contributing to grade stability. Ground clearance centers around 24 inches for maneuvering rough terrain. The grader’s hydraulics provide roughly 52.8 gallons per minute flow at pressures near 2,500 psi, facilitating smooth blade lift, side shift (approximately 26 inches left, 20 inches right), and articulation for precise blade positioning, with articulation angles about 20° and front steering angles up to 47.5°. The cab is ergonomically designed for operator comfort and visibility, supporting long hours of work. The Champion 720A IV VHP is engineered to balance power, reliability, and control, making it suitable for heavy grading, road maintenance, and earthmoving projects where efficiency and durability are critical.
