John Deere rolled out its next-gen motor graders at ConExpo 2026, outfitting the P-Tier models with new automation features, displays and updated cabs.

New P-Tier models include the 620, 622, 670, 672, 770, 772, 870 and 872. All models except the 870 and 872 are also available in Deere’s more basic G-Tier variants.

Equipment World got a closer look at the company’s 772 P-Tier at the show. To get a complete walkaround of the machine, check out the video above with Deere Product Manager Matt Costello.

Inside the 772 P-Tier Motor Grader

The 772 P-Tier is powered by a 275-horsepower John Deere PowerTech diesel engine.

Costello says the foundation of the motor grader is Deere’s premium circle featuring a fully-sealed bearing. “We build all of our tech and all of our features off of this premium circle,” he says. “It’s going to stay nice and tight and accurate whether you’re running your blade in 2D, 3D or standard operation. You don’t have to worry about shimming and doing some of the adjustments that historically you would’ve had to do.” The circle is paired with encoded cylinders equipped with a sensor that tells the machine the exact position of the blade.

Another hallmark of the P-Tier lineup is flexible machine technology that can be upgraded at any time. Standard technology includes Cross Slope, SmartGrade Ready option, SmartGrade with Topcon and SmartGrade with Leica, return to straight, Auto-Articulation, Blade Flip, Machine Presets, lever steering, and choice between fingertip or joystick controls. Optional features include Machine Damage Avoidance, Auto-Pass, Smart Saddle and Intelligent Blade Control.

Inside the cab, operators will find eight-inch touchscreen primary display, Automatic Temperature Control system, electrohydraulic (EH) controls with standard steering wheel, centralized machine-function switches and an adjustable heated and ventilated air-ride seat.

A front camera allows operators to see down and alley or past a building without pulling the machine into the road. The front camera can be paired with the two rear cameras to further enhance the field of view, accessible on dedicated displays in the cab. v
