2018 - Caterpillar 140M3 AWD Motor Grader

About this machine

This 2018 Caterpillar 140M3 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — offered for sale in Colorado, USA, at $246,000. Motor graders are precision earthmoving machines used for grading, levelling, and finishing road surfaces, construction sites, and other large earthwork projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for producing durable, high-performance machines across the earthmoving, road-building, and material-handling industries.

Power comes from a Caterpillar C7.1 engine rated at 272 horsepower and certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards. The transmission is an Autoshift unit and is protected by a dedicated transmission guard. An all-wheel-drive configuration is fitted, providing enhanced traction in demanding or slippery underfoot conditions — a feature reflected in the machine's AWD designation and its Cold Weather Plus Package, which is tailored for operation in low-ambient temperatures. Supporting cold-weather readiness further are a 120V engine coolant heater, a 50/50 coolant mix rated to -35°C (-31°F), cold-start provisions for the transmission oil and brakes, 0W cold hydraulic oil, and an extreme-duty electric starter backed by extra-heavy-duty batteries and an ether starting aid. A gravity drain for engine oil is also included.

The moldboard measures 14 feet wide by 27 inches tall by 1 inch thick, with a curved cutting edge of 8 inches by ¾ inch and end bits without overlay. A front-mounted ripper/scarifier attachment is fitted, supported by a front lift mounting group. The blade-end configuration includes a counterweight push plate. Grade control is provided via an X Slope system with auto articulation in demonstration mode, and an articulation guard is installed for machine protection.

The lighting package is extensive: front high-beam halogen headlights, fold-down arm lights, halogen roading lights, heel work lights (3×3 configuration), midframe toe work lights, and an additional working lights plus halogen package. A work lighting switch and warning light mounting are also present. Visibility and operator awareness are further supported by a rear wiper and washer, a rear defroster fan, outside heated mirrors (24V), a rear camera, and a sun shade. A Sy-Klone precleaner is fitted to the air intake.

The operator's station features an air-suspension seat in cloth with heating, and a seat belt. Additional cab amenities include a CB communications converter and access to an online operator's manual with English (US) decals throughout. The alternator is rated at 150 amps, and the fuel tank is the standard configuration. Standard glass is fitted throughout. The machine is listed as-is/as-received, with auxiliary lighting and a complete cold-weather and low-ambient equipment arrangement. The price was updated in September 2024.
