The Komatsu G976 is a heavy-duty motor grader engineered for road construction and maintenance operations. Powered by a 225 hp (168 kW) engine in first gear, this machine delivers substantial blade control and maneuverability for precision grading tasks. The moldboard extends to 12 feet in length with a standard height of 29 inches, providing excellent surface coverage. With maximum shoulder reach capabilities of 78 inches on the left and 77 inches on the right, the G976 accommodates varied grading angles and applications. The moldboard can shift up to 30.5 inches left and 29.5 inches right, enabling operators to adjust blade positioning for banking, ditching, and fine grading operations. The circle lift mechanism raises the moldboard 18 inches above ground for transport and clearing. Operating at 43,650 pounds, the machine maintains optimal weight distribution for blade down force and drawbar pull efficiency. The steering system features a 21-degree articulation angle and 25-foot turning radius, facilitating navigation in confined spaces and on tight job sites. This combination of power, blade reach, and maneuverability makes the G976 suitable for highway maintenance, airport operations, and large-scale earthmoving projects requiring precision and productivity.
