Joystick control and hydrostatic transmission make for responsive, productive grading
The 705 Motor Grader by LeeBoy features joystick control of grader functions integral to the operator’s chair in a 17,000-pound unit with a 10-foot sliding and tilting mold-board.
The 705 is powered by a 117-hp Cat Tier 3 diesel engine which makes for smooth grading at high and slow speeds with its six-speed-forward and three-speed-reverse power shift hydrostatic transmission. Infinitely variable speeds up to 20 mph are achievable in forward. A load sensing variable displacement pump provides superior machine control and enhanced performance and efficiency. The 705’s climate-controlled cab is designed to enhance visibility with 10 percent more glass area. Right and left hand joysticks integral to the adjustable suspension operator’s chair control all grader functions. The control console has a touch pad colour screen with basic instrumentation and menu-driven diagnostic capabilities. The cab is mounted on isolation pads. In addition, a solar roof panel provides power to a separate cooling fan in the cab. The LeeBoy 705 motor grader has a 10-foot sliding and tilting mold-board with18-inch right or left side shift and shoulder reach of 36 inches, allowing the operator to shift the blade in or out of hard-to-reach areas. Maneuverability of the 705 motor grader is enhanced with 18-degree right or left articulation behind the cab. This gives the 705 an outside turning radius of 17.5 feet. Grading functions are assisted with front axle oscillation of 20 degrees, front wheel lean of 15 degrees, and front wheel steering angle of 50 degrees.
