685D - Motor Graders

About the 685D
Designed with the functionality of a large motor grader, the more compact 685D can be used in many versatile and specialized applications including spreading base materials, ditch/shoulder projects, fine grading, medium cutting or even snow removal. The noticeable power provided by a Cummins engine merged with smooth transition and controlled drive, makes this motor grader an all-around must have on any job site. Whether you decide a cab or canopy suits your needs, you can rest assured your visibility will remain unobstructed.
