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.
