JERSEY 103 MOTOR GRADERS

Technical Description

The 1969 Jersey 103 Motor Grader is a compact earthmoving machine featuring industrial-grade construction with dimensions of 60 x 30 x 40 inches and a substantial weight of 1500 lbs, providing stability during operation. Powered by a 5 HP motor operating at 3000 RPM, the unit delivers consistent performance for grading and surface preparation tasks. The machine incorporates a 12-inch diameter drum or cutting element with a 24-inch travel range, enabling precise depth control and lateral positioning across work surfaces. With a 200-pound operational capacity, this grader accommodates moderate material loads typical of fine grading applications. The equipment is equipped with a FANUC Model 0i CNC control system, representing advanced automation for its era. The FANUC 0i platform provides digital servo control with multiple axis coordination capabilities, supporting precise motion control and repeatability essential for grading operations. The system features programmable machine logic and multi-path control functionality, allowing operators to execute complex grading patterns and sequences with minimal manual intervention. The integration of CNC technology enables automated depth regulation, slope adjustments, and consistent blade positioning throughout operation cycles. This configuration combines the mechanical robustness of the Jersey 103 platform with sophisticated numerical control, making it suitable for applications requiring precision grading, finish work, and detailed contouring tasks. The relatively modest power requirements and compact footprint make it well-suited for confined work areas where larger conventional graders prove impractical.
