The 2018 John Deere 772GP Motor Grader is a high-performance, six-wheel-drive machine engineered for precision grading and heavy-duty construction tasks. Powered by a 9.0L John Deere PowerTech™ PSS diesel engine, it delivers up to 275 hp (205 kW) and 1,288 Nm (950 lb-ft) of peak torque, ensuring robust performance across diverse job site conditions. The machine features a fully sealed, premium circle drive system that provides 40% more torque and 15% more speed than conventional designs, enhancing both productivity and accuracy, especially when paired with the integrated SmartGrade™ system for factory-calibrated, mastless 3D grading. The 772GP offers a standard 14 ft (4.27 m) blade with a maximum depth of cut up to 13.2 in (335 mm), and a blade side-shift range of 31 in (787 mm) left and right. Its advanced hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center, pressure-compensated load-sensing pump, delivering up to 56.1 gal/min (212 L/min) at 2,750 psi (18,961 kPa) for responsive blade and articulation control. The operator station includes fingertip controls, an EROPS cabin with air conditioning, and optional dual-joystick articulation for reduced operator fatigue. The grader’s dimensions include an overall length of 29 ft 2 in (8.89 m), a wheelbase of 20.21 ft (6.16 m), and a ground clearance of 24.1 in (612 mm). With a maximum operating weight of 49,500 lb (22,453 kg), the 772GP is equipped for demanding grading, bank cutting, and slope work, featuring precision mode for optimal traction and control in all soil conditions.
