What is the main difference between a motor grader and a regular grader?

The main difference between a motor grader and a regular grader lies in the design of the blade. A motor grader features a rotating blade that can be adjusted for different angles and settings. This capability allows for precise grading, shaping, and leveling of surfaces, making motor graders versatile for various tasks such as road construction, maintenance, and earthmoving. The ability to tilt, angle, and extend the blade further enhances its functionality, enabling operators to achieve the desired surface grade more effectively.

In contrast, regular graders may have fixed blades or less sophisticated adjustment mechanisms, limiting their precision and adaptability. The operational mechanisms and design of the motor grader allow it to perform tasks that require a higher degree of control over the blade's position, essential for fine grading and creating smooth surfaces.
