The Volvo G976 Motor Grader is a heavy-duty machine designed for precision grading and earthmoving tasks. It features a 6-cylinder D9B engine with turbocharged and aftercooled aspiration, delivering 262 hp at 1700 rpm and 876 lb·ft of torque at 1550 rpm. The grader has a standard operating weight of 43,650 lbs and a maximum operating weight of 51,500 lbs, with a 12 ft moldboard width and a 64 in circle diameter. The moldboard offers a max depth of cut of 30.5 in, 360° rotation, and side shift capability of 26.5 in left and right. Blade tip angles are 45° front and 6° rear, with a blade down pressure of 21,574 lbs and a blade pull at max weight of 40,000 lbs. The hydraulic system uses an axial piston pump with a flow of 55 gal/min and a relief valve pressure of 3000 psi. The transmission is a fully sequential, direct drive Volvo powershift type with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, achieving a max forward speed of 27.4 mph and reverse speed of 19.3 mph. The grader has an overall length of 31.1 ft, a wheelbase of 21.4 ft, and a width over tires of 9.1 ft. The front axle provides 23.2 in ground clearance, 16° total oscillation, and 18° wheel lean. The steering system allows for a 21° articulation angle and a 25.1 ft turning radius. Fluid capacities include 132 gal fuel, 38 gal hydraulic, 12.4 gal cooling, 10.4 gal oil, and 16 gal transmission. The machine operates on a 24-volt electrical system with an 80-amp alternator and uses 14:00 x 24, G-2 tires.
