PTH grader in
Front and rear mounting
PTH graders are attachments for the construction, maintenance, and renovation of roads and paths, surfaces, etc.
They are used to create precise road and path profiles or to level and smooth surfaces. PTH graders are characterized by high flexibility, maneuverability, and precise results.
Depending on the carrier vehicle, PTH graders are available in front and rear mount versions.
The front-mounted model impresses with the functions and advantages of a motor grader.
PTH graders are designed for the toughest applications and difficult terrain. Depending on the model, they are specialized for use in forestry, agriculture, road construction, and trail building.
Frequently Asked Questions About the PTH Grader
What is a grader, and what is it used for?
A grader is a grading machine with an adjustable blade: it removes material, spreads it, and creates a profile—for example, to level paths or create a cross-slope. In addition to self-propelled motor graders, there are attachment graders designed for front- or rear-mounting on tractors or wheel loaders.

How do you repair a forest trail or forest road?
A three-step process has proven effective: 1. Break up and crush the existing material, including stones; 2. Grade the surface with a grader or motor grader—creating a cross-slope for water drainage; 3. Compact the surface. If the existing material is processed on-site, the need for purchased gravel and transportation is reduced.

What equipment is needed for road construction using a tractor?
For the rehabilitation of gravel, forest, and farm roads, a tractor equipped with three attachments is often sufficient: a rock crusher or rock mill for processing the material, a grader or planer for shaping the surface, and a compactor for compaction. The appropriate size depends on the tractor’s power, the road width, and the material.

Is the PTH Grader Front an alternative to the motor grader?
Yes, the PTH Grader Front turns tractors and wheel loaders from 80 hp / 2 t into a fully-fledged grader alternative. Fully hydraulic control with CAN-BUS and joystick enables precise grading without a separate motor grader.
How is the PTH Grader Front controlled?
Via a CAN-BUS system with joystick control. All functions - articulated steering, blade tilt, sideshift - can be operated precisely from the driver's seat.
What applications is the Grader Front suitable for?
Forest roads, alpine paths, cycle paths, road rehabilitation, verge profiling and fine grading. The front mounting gives the driver an optimum view of the working area.
Which carrier vehicles are compatible?
Tractors and wheel loaders from 80 hp and at least 2 t tare weight. The front-mounted design can be used universally.
