What types of tasks or jobs can a motor graders handle?

[Mr. McTuggart]

I'm trying to learn more about motor graders and their capabilities. I know they're commonly used in construction, but I'm curious about the full range of tasks they can handle.

For example, are they mainly for road leveling, or can they be used for things like ditching, snow removal, or preparing sites for building? I'd love to hear from anyone with hands-on experience-what jobs do you typically use a motor grader for, and are there any limitations to keep in mind? Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Motor graders are basically the Swiss Army knives of dirt,,
they’re great for leveling roads, shaping ditches, clearing snow, and even giving your site a fresh haircut…just don’t expect them to do landscaping like a bobcat!

They can create and maintain ditches for drainage, which is super important in construction and landscaping.
