Champion C110C, C116C Motor Graders

As of Dec. 1, 2008, motor graders manufactured by Champion come standard with Cummins QSB Tier 3 electronic diesel engines. These include the new Champion C110 C and C116 C Series production-class graders, powered by the turbocharged Cummins QSB6.7 in-line, six-cylinder engine model generating 120 horsepower. The smaller Champion C60 C/C66C, C70 C and C80 C/C86 C Series models are equipped with the turbocharged Cummins QSB4.5 in-line, four-cylinder engine model generating 110 horsepower. The engine move, explains Champion executive vice president Bryan Abernathy, will help the grader manufacturer prepare for future Tier 4 emissions requirements. Under the PowerMatch program, Cummins partners with OEM engineers to test and match the power of QSB engines to specific equipment models and applications using advanced electronics.
