What happens here

Matt presents the John Deere 772 P-Tier Road Grader, highlighting its next-generation updates. The cab has been redesigned with numerous operator comfort features, including a heated and ventilated seat, automatic temperature control, and improved adjustability for joysticks and armrests. The key innovation lies in its automation features, especially beneficial for new operators. With a double-tap of the circle rotate button, the blade automatically mirrors itself. Auto articulation allows the machine to articulate automatically as the operator steers, significantly reducing the operator's workload, particularly for less experienced users. The cab also includes an 8-inch touchscreen display integrated with cross-slope technology and a 3D mastless grade control system. These enhancements improve simplicity and ease of operation, which is crucial for addressing the shortage of skilled operators. This model is currently beyond the prototype stage and has completed testing, with a market release anticipated in one to two years.

Goal: Understand the advanced automation and ergonomic improvements of the 772 P-Tier Road Grader.

All right, guys. We are with the next machine and Matt, how are you? Good. How are you doing? So, what is new about this Road Grader? Yeah, we have our updated next generation motor graders we're showing off at the show this week. Redesigned cab with a lot of operator comfort features. We have a heated ventilated seat. We have automatic temperature control and just made lives a lot easier for operators. Improved adjustability on the joysticks and armrest. And then we also added a lot of automation to the machine. We we now have a total of six automation features that are mainly exclusive to John Deere Motor Craters. Okay. All of those automation features, it sounds like everything's creature comfort, but the automation features, let's get into that. How has this improved performance for guys? Yeah. So, think about just simplicity. A lot of guys having trouble finding skilled operators. We're trying to make these graders a lot easier to operate. Think about grading a flat building pad. We're wind rowing material across. When we turn around, there's a lot of things the operators are doing. They're steering the machine, articulating the machine, raising the blades, rotating the circle. With automation, with a double tap of the circle rotate button, the blade will automatically mirror itself. With auto articulation, the machine will automatically articulate when the operator steers. So it really great greatly reduces the amount of work for the operator and especially new operators trying to get familiar with graders. All right. So here we are. So this is this is our our control panel. And what are we looking at with this now? Yeah. So we actually we we moved the six wheel drive controls ahead. They were kind of back in the right rear corner. We opened up visibility out to the right side tandemss quite a bit. Okay. And you'll see all the switches and controls that the operator interfaces with are all centrally located in this area. Mhm. We also added a new 8 in touchscreen display right here. Um that is integrated with cross slope technology and then this machine is also a smart grade machine. So we have the 3D massless grade control on this machine. When is this coming out? Yeah. So, this will be available in the future. We're probably a year to two out. Um, but this will be, but this is beyond the concept stage. This is beyond the prototype stage. We got a lot of customer feedback. We're we've completed our testing. We're excited to show that. We put this in…
