WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE
A TRUE CHAMPION
Big ideas in small graders
Champion Compact Graders are proof that
small graders can be designed and built with
“big grader” features and quality.
At Champion, our engineers know that you
work just as hard in a compact grader as you
do in a full-size machine. And we built it into
every grader.
More than 25 years experience is designed
into every Champion Motor Grader, from the
rugged tool-carrier frame to the efficient,
premium quality hydraulic
system and components.
And Champion’s hands-on
experience pays off every
day! Features like easy
end-to-end service access
and Champion’s signature
tapered roller bearings help
you make every minute
count whether you’re on
the job or performing
regular maintenance.
Then Champion’s fully-machined tandems
and long-life axle make sure your grader
stays on the job for more hours and more
years to maximize the return on your
equipment investment.
Every true Champion looks past today and
builds for long-term success. That’s why
Champion Motor Graders keeps thinking
big, thinking ahead, to be the best
business choice.
Doing the small things right
There’s no secret to producing quality equipment. The challenge is in developing the
manufacturing discipline to ensure that every detail at every step is completed with a steadfast
commitment to customer satisfaction. That means fit-for-purpose design, reliable everyday
performance, long life durability and lasting resale value, plus consistent documentation for
effective service and support.
By developing our quality processes to meet ISO 9001:2000 standards, Champion has made
the commitment to ensure that every Champion Motor Grader meets your expectation for
strength, power and overall performance.
What to look for in small graders
Expect more! No matter what your
application, don’t settle for less than the
right machine for the job:
· Private contracting: heavy-duty strength
and power, precise fine-grading control
and stability, lasting durability for
high resale or trade-in values
· Public works: years of dependability and
versatility and efficiency to complete more
tasks for less total lifecycle cost
· Rental business: high reliability, easy
maintenance and adaptable to the
different needs of many customers with a
wide selection of attachments

TRUE GRADER PERFORMANCE
Power, Precision, Productivity.
Built strong on a proven long-life frame
with heavy-duty hydraulics and twin-cylinder
circle turn system, Champion Compact
Graders deliver all the earthmoving muscle
you need to move big loads efficiently
under all soil conditions. The new C Series
front-axle provides the highest
available ground clearance for
digging into the toughest terrain
and working back out again.
For fine-grading, the industry’s widest
stance blade lift system means extra
precision and stability in moldboard
control. Champion’s fully hydrostatic
drive offers the ultimate in control at
any working speed.
Your Champion is ready to negotiate
every turn and contour effortlessly
with a full range of blade and wheel
mobilities with industry-leading
standards in circle rotation, blade tilt
and below-grade cutting, wheel lean,
steering angle and oscillation
plus articulating frame.
By combining power and precision on the
most stable platform in the compact class,
Champion is the right choice for effective
application of sensitive Automatic Blade
Control systems, taking small graders to a
new level of performance and productivity.
When you need
more from your
grader...
...you get more from Champion
Compact Graders!
· Get the industry’s tallest moldboard,
with optional choices up to 12 ft. long
· Get the optional side-shift cylinder
to increase moldboard reach an
extra 8" outside the wheelbase
· Get the optional twin-flow hydraulic
system to equalize hydraulic power
across the circle-turn for a smooth,
even response to controls

If you operate with an
Automatic Blade Control
System, Champion is the right
choice. Combining power
and precision on the most
stable compact grader
platform provides you with
new levels of performance
and productivity.
True All Wheel Drive
In some graders, the boost you get by sending
hydrostatic power to the front wheels is offset
by a loss of power to the rear drive wheels.
At Champion, all-wheel drive means you get
full power to all wheels anytime you need it.
Whether you run AWD on a Champion
single-axle or tandem-axle grader, the
all-wheel drive system is powered by its own
hydraulic system. Separate pumps and lines
deliver hydraulic power to the front wheels,
without reducing the
power available to
rear drive, circle turn or
attachments. A generous
hydraulic reservoir ensures
that there’s always plenty of
power available to drive all systems
without impacting your overall operation
and on the job productivity.
That’s what we call true all-wheel drive!

WELCOME TO THE OFFICE
Expect a better day at work
For the true grader operator, every work day is a
better day in the cab of a Champion Grader. Finally,
you’re onboard a compact grader that comes with
a cab that is large enough for a full-size operator.
There’s head room, elbow room and a full range of
comfort features to provide a productive workplace
for professional grading.
Any operator accustomed to running big graders
will feel right at home. The Champion pedestal and
controls are a mirror of industry-standard layouts,
including standard throw levers to preserve the right
reach and feel for easy efficient production.
Unlike most small graders, the Champion cab
also adapts to the individual preferences of each
operator. The adjustable suspension seat is
complemented by a pedestal that slides forward
into position instead of just tilting over. The levers
and control displays always remain in the correct
position for a familiar comfortable reach.
The new workplace environment
A safe and comfortable workplace is a
productive workplace. That’s only one reason
for choosing a grader that meets today’s
environmental and occupational health
standards. However, it is the most important
one for people who own and operate graders.
Tier 3 engines meet the current low emission
requirements for all local jurisdictions.
Excellent ventilation plus optional heating
and cooling systems ensure year-round
all-season comfort.
As part of Champion’s modular construction,
extensive sound suppression measures
isolate the cab to minimize vibration and
noise levels.
Put your foot down for safety
Why compromise on your personal safety?
Trust Champion Motor Graders to lead the
industry with a pedal-operated foot brake
to provide positive stopping power certified
to SAE J1473 standards. And while most
equipment companies will
offer ROPS/FOPS design
in their operator stations,
only Champion takes
the time to actually
test and prove its
cab engineering for
protection you can trust.

Finish your working day
satisfied and healthy.
Champion Graders are
designed with the comfort,
safety and productivity of
the operator in mind. Choose
from a wide range of options
that when combined with the
Champion standard features,
will make your grader the
place to be.

YOUR GRADER, YOUR WAY
Nobody knows your customers and
your jobs better than you do. Let
Champion turn your ideas into a better
business with custom features and
attachments built to suit your needs.
Start with your choice from the
Champion Motor Grader line-up for
single or tandem axle rear-drive models
or all-wheel 4x4 or 6x6 drive.
Check out Champion’s many
optional features from enclosed
cab or ROPS canopy to enhanced
hydraulics to a wide selection of
operator upgrades. Then choose
from Champion pre-engineered
attachments to turn your grader
into exactly the right tool for the
work you do, or let us build that
attachment you need customized
to your specifications.
After 25 years in the grading industry,
Champion knows what it takes to
make your business
successful. We’re
ready to work with you
to build your grader,
your way.
TRUE TOOL-CARRIER DESIGN
More places to go. More jobs to do.
The right compact grader can do just about
anything a full sized grader can do – and a
few things that a big grader can’t! When you
need a versatile, cost-efficient machine for all
but the heaviest grading jobs, the right grader
is a Champion.
Champion Motor Graders will cut, push,
maintain finish, operate attachments – and
do it all in places where larger machines
can’t go. With its compact length, 50° wheel
turn and a turning radius of under 20', your
Champion Grader is ready to go anywhere
to get the job done. For a hard-working
tool carrier, operating in confined areas and
finishing close into tight curves, there is
simply no better choice.
