Grader Model Comparison: How to Choose the Right One for Your Job

Published by  Sinomach Changlin Group | www.changlin.com.cn

With decades of experience in construction machinery, Changlincontinues to provide reliable and efficient solutions for road building and earthmoving projects. When it comes to choosing A Motor Grader, selecting the right model can make the difference between cost-efficiency and overinvestment. In this article, we compare four of our flagship grader models —PY130H, PY180H, PY190H, and PY220H — to help you make an informed decision.


🔧 Performance & Power: Matching Horsepower with Your Jobsite

  • PY130H: Powered by the Cummins 6BT5.9 engine with 130 hp, ideal for municipal and light infrastructure jobs.

  • PY180H: With 178 hp from the Cummins 6BTA5.9, it offers a balanced choice for medium-duty operations.

  • PY190H: Comes equipped with the 6CTA8.3 engine delivering 190 hp, great for roadworks and regional construction.

  • PY220H: The most powerful, featuring 215–220 hp, suitable for mining, highways, and large-scale leveling tasks.


⚖️ Operating Weight & Blade Size

The operating weight and moldboard size directly influence grading stability and capacity:

Model Operating Weight Moldboard Size
PY130H 12,000 kg 3,658 mm
PY180H 14,500 kg 3,658 mm
PY190H 15,600 kg 4,268 mm
PY220H 15,800–16,100 kg 4,320 mm

If your jobsite involves wide-area grading or rough terrain, the PY190H and PY220H provide greater reach and weight distribution for smooth, high-volume performance.


🔍 Design Highlights: Comfort Meets Control

All models are built with operator ergonomics and efficiency in mind:

  • Adjustable control consoles for quick entry/exit and user-friendly operation.

  • Air-conditioned cabins with redesigned airflow vents for a cooler working environment.

  • LED lighting system ensures high visibility for day and night shifts.

  • Excellent forward visibility, especially around the moldboard and front wheels, boosts productivity and safety.


🛠 Hydraulics, Attachments & Versatility

Changlin graders offer:

  • ETON-branded key hydraulic components for smoother response and higher reliability.

  • Optional attachments such as front Dozer blades, rear rippers, and mid-mounted scarifiers, making these machines multi-functional.

  • A safe and efficient hydraulic braking system, with flame-out braking as a standard feature.
