CHAMPION 780A MOTOR GRADERS

Technical Description

The Champion 780A is a heavy-duty motor grader powered by a turbocharged Cummins LT-10-C six-cylinder engine delivering 215 gross horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque at 1,300 rpm. The machine features an eight-speed powershift transmission with forward speeds up to 24.2 mph and reverse capability at 17.3 mph, enabling efficient operation across varied terrain. The grader's 14-foot moldboard with 2.1-foot cutting depth and adjustable blade tip angles (46° front, 13° rear) provides versatile grading and snow removal capabilities. Its articulating steering system achieves a 22° articulation angle with a 25.5-foot turning radius, enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces. The 360-degree rotating circle allows 17.6 inches of lateral shift. Dimensionally, the unit measures 28.6 feet in length, 9.2 feet wide, and 11.5 feet high, riding on 16.00x24 tires with a 20.5-foot wheelbase. The front axle features 16° total oscillation and 18° wheel lean for superior terrain conformance. Weighing 40,600 pounds in standard operating configuration, the grader maintains a 100-gallon fuel capacity and hydraulic system capacity of 23.8 gallons, serviced by a 48.2 gpm pump operating at 2,500 psi relief pressure. This configuration makes the 780A ideal for road construction, maintenance, and winter operations requiring reliable performance and precise grading control.
