Mitsubishi motor graders MG130 to MG730 – the road-building machines of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries: the number as size class, E for the export version, 6D16 to 6D22 engines, 4.2 to 12 litres
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries built graders for the Japanese and Asian markets before its construction equipment division merged into Caterpillar Japan in 2008; the MG range in the register is the programme of the 1980s to 2000s. The type logic: MG stands for Motor Grader, the number orders the size class in ascending order – MG130 the small grader for tracks and municipalities, MG230 and MG330 the mid-range, MG430 to MG530 the road-building graders, MG730 the heavy grader for mining and large sites – E marks the export version, R a variant, VHP the variable-horsepower version that matches engine output to the gear. The engines came from Mitsubishi's own production: 6D16, 6D22 and 6D34 as six-cylinders, S4K as a four-cylinder in the smallest model.

The register lists 13 versions with four- and six-cylinders of 4,249 to 12,000 cm³ at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,500 rpm and lengths from 6,913 to 9,616 mm.
For decades the MG330 was one of Asia's best-selling graders – the machine of the road programmes in Southeast Asia, India and the Middle East – and many still run today because the Mitsubishi engines also ran in the group's trucks and buses and parts are available everywhere.
On used machines, operating hours, wear of blade, circle and blade drive, play in articulation joint and wheel lean, the condition of transmission and tandem drive and parts supply through Mitsubishi Fuso and Cat Japan dealers are what count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
