Case CE’s Big Motor Grader Bet: Meet the 325-HP GR935

Take a walkaround tour of Case's largest GR Series motor grader with Cummins engine, continuous variable transmission, electro-hydraulic controls and onboard GNSS guidance, control and navigation systems.

Transcript

Case Construction Equipment has joined forces with South African heavy equipment manufacturer Bell Equipment to bring its largest motor grader ever to market, the 325-horsepower, 51,209-pound GR935.  

The GR935 will be joined by the GR925 and GR930 in the three-model GR Series lineup. While full specifications have not been released, Case indicated that the models would range from 240 to 325 horsepower. Deliveries of the new graders are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. 

To get a closer look at the GR935 motor grader and a complete overview of the GR Series lineup, check out Equipment World’s video above with Case CE Product Manager George MacIntyre from ConExpo earlier this year.  

Case CE GR935 Motor Grader Overview 

The GR935 is powered by a 325-horsepower Cummins engine paired with a continuous variable transmission (CVT) enabling consistent power delivery and smooth operation for heavy road construction, snow removal, maintenance, site preparation and government applications, Case says. 

Electro-hydraulic controls or traditional mechanical control are available. The 6x6 all-wheel-drive GR935 features a hydrostatic system with a dedicated pump and motor on each front wheel, allowing the machine to more easily maintain a constant rate of speed. The top forward travel speed is 28 mph.  

The GR935 comes equipped with a 16-foot moldboard hooked to a protected precision circle with a sealed slew ring bearing. An optional blade impact system prevents damage to the moldboard if it hits an obstacle, such as a curb or manhole.  

Additional features include: 

  • Standard rearview camera and optional front-view camera 

  • Paralellogram-style rear ripper 

  • Onboard guidance, control and GNSS navigation systems 

Case CE will have exclusive distribution across the United States and Canada for the GR925, GR930 and GR935 manufactured at Bell Equipment facilities. The GR Series graders complement Case’s D Series lineup, which includes the 137-horsepower 836D and 173-horsepower 856D launched in 2025.   

Motor Grader Market Pulse 

Nearly 900 motor graders were sold from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, according to Fusable’s EDA equipment finance data. Caterpillar and Deere dominated the market with a combined 93.7% of new financed motor grader sales during the period.

We're really excited about this new product line. We have two smaller graders, the eight 3060 and eight 5060, but we were missing the larger, greater sizes for several years now. This brings us back into the market for the big graders, allows us to be able to have something for those contractors that are doing more large scale site prep up in Canada if they're doing snow removal.

 

00:00:22:14 - 00:00:28:02

George MacIntyre

Really good fit for for larger projects.

 

00:00:28:05 - 00:00:50:24

George MacIntyre

Hi, I'm George McIntyre, product manager for Case Construction Equipment. We're excited to be launching our whole new series of GR series Motor Graders. There's three different models. GR 935, which is right behind me, GR 930 and a GR 925 horsepower range from 240 horsepower on the smallest model, up to 325 horsepower on this model right behind me. Cummings engine.

 

00:00:50:26 - 00:01:14:04

George MacIntyre

Also, one of the nice things about the two biggest models is we have a CVT transmission on there, and for motor grading, that is really a good option to have because what motor grader operators really like to have is a steady rate of speed as they're doing. Grading that CVT transmission really does well at maintaining that speed. It's going to match the horsepower to what the demand is on that road condition.

 

00:01:14:04 - 00:01:40:20

George MacIntyre

And a byproduct of that would be fuel savings as well. Also, we have a 16ft mold board on this model, and the smallest model would have a 14ft board boat to a protected circle, which is standard equipment. It's got a sealed slew ring bearing in there with it being sealed. Keeps the debris out there for long life. Also, the accuracy of this protected circle is really good.

 

00:01:40:20 - 00:02:04:04

George MacIntyre

Also, we have optional a blade impact system. So if you're going over a manhole or a curb, it's going to absorb that obstacle and not not allow damage to the motherboard. This particular model is configured with as a six by six all wheel drive model. The front wheels are a hydrostatic system, so we have a separate pump and motor on each wheel.

 

00:02:04:07 - 00:02:29:21

George MacIntyre

Allows it to maintain the speed very well, and actually able to have the front wheels go either faster or slower than the tandem wheels in the back. Also standard equipment is electro hydraulic controls on all three models. The two smaller models we also offer with mechanical controls as

well regarding maintenance and reliability. All the filters are grouped together in one spot for easy maintainability.

 

00:02:29:27 - 00:02:52:08

George MacIntyre

We also have the research bank and spots around the machine to make it easy for daily greasing as well. And then from a cooling standpoint, we have a box cooling system very similar to what we have on our wheel letters. So we have a lot of commonality. They're very easy access to the corners at the rear of the machine as well, as we have a nice rear ripper on the back.

 

00:02:52:09 - 00:03:16:19

George MacIntyre

They use a parallelogram style rear ripper, allows the teeth to penetrate the ground evenly as you're going along, and ripping the ground. As far as the cab goes. We do have monitors inside the cab. We have a rear view camera that standard equipment. We also have a front camera that's available as well. It gives you a really good visibility around the machine as well as you have really good lines of sight when you look outside the cab.

 

00:03:16:20 - 00:03:38:13

George MacIntyre

So regarding technology integration, it's going to be set up and prepared to be worked with all three of the major systems that are out there, like a top con and Trimble. We will have mass systems as well as massless systems available as well. This complements our two smaller models. We now have five models of motor graders. So we have a motor grader that would meet every need that you have.
