This Caterpillar 140M2 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — offered from North Dakota, USA, at $125,000. Motor graders are heavy construction and road-maintenance machines used to grade, level, and shape unpaved surfaces, finish gravel and dirt roads, maintain drainage ditches, and spread material across a working surface. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, serving the construction, mining, infrastructure, and government sectors across every major market.
This 2014 machine is configured for demanding, cold-weather operation and carries a substantial list of factory and dealer-fitted equipment. It is built as an all-wheel-drive unit, with front AWD fenders fitted to suit that configuration. Tyres are Nokian and MI branded 14.00R24, a size well suited to a machine of this class working in loose or slippery conditions. A snow arrangement package and snow precleaner are fitted, indicating the machine was set up for year-round operation in harsh northern climates, consistent with its North Dakota provenance.
The blade specification includes a 24-inch by 27-inch by 1-inch blade extension, giving operators additional reach when working wider passes. Tip control is included, allowing precise adjustment of the blade cutting angle from the cab. A slip clutch is fitted to protect the drivetrain, and a differential lock provides additional traction on low-grip surfaces. A front lift mounting arrangement is noted, along with a hitch guard group for rear implement protection and a transmission guard for drivetrain protection.
The base equipment package includes four attachments or configurations coded as WM, WT, FL, and RIP, suggesting wing, float, and ripper functionality among the available setups. A ripper is a rear-mounted attachment used to break up compacted or hard-packed ground before grading. The hydraulic lines are standard configuration without an accumulator. The installation uses a box-frame arrangement.
For operator comfort and visibility, the machine is fitted with outside heated mirrors, auxiliary lighting, and a comfort package. Cold-weather provisions extend to a 120-volt engine coolant heater and the low ambient global arrangement, reflecting preparation for cold-start conditions. An online owner's manual is available with the machine. The equipment certification code is noted as NCR.
