- P-Tier launch at ConExpo 2026. Industrial Vehicle Technology International reported that John Deere used ConExpo 2026 to unveil eight updated P-Tier motor graders, the 620, 622, 670, 672, 770, 772, 870 and 872, available with next-generation SmartGrade technology, and that the P-Tier graders have been shipping since December 2025. John Deere's P-Tier excavators and SmartGrade motor graders, Industrial Vehicle Technology International.
- SmartGrade since 2019. Deere first brought factory-integrated, mastless grade control to motor graders in 2019 under the SmartGrade name, and says its own studies with less experienced operators showed up to a 75 percent reduction in inputs for certain operations when automation features were paired with SmartGrade. John Deere's P-Tier excavators and SmartGrade motor graders, Industrial Vehicle Technology International.
- Four- and six-wheel drive. The same report says the P-Tier motor grader range covers four-wheel-drive and six-wheel-drive configurations with net engine power from 150 to 280 horsepower. John Deere's P-Tier excavators and SmartGrade motor graders, Industrial Vehicle Technology International.
- Buyer comparison with the Cat 160M. A Heavy Equipment Forums poster weighing a trade-in of a 2014 Volvo G970 said he was deciding between a Cat 160M and the earlier John Deere 870GP after seeing Deere's joystick-equipped 870GP at a municipal trade show, and found both taller than he needed.
