This Caterpillar 140M3 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine designed to fine-grade and level material, shape road surfaces, maintain unpaved roads, and spread gravel or soil to precise tolerances. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised names in heavy equipment, supplying construction, mining, road-building, and infrastructure industries with machinery built to demanding professional standards. This example was manufactured in 2017, carries Cat Certified Used status, and is located in Colorado, USA, offered at $265,780.
Power comes from a C9.3 engine and the machine is equipped with a 150-amp alternator and an extra-heavy-duty battery to support its extensive electrical load. For cold-climate operation, the specification list is comprehensive: a Cold Weather Plus Package with AWD is fitted, the coolant is pre-mixed to a 50/50 ratio rated to -35°C (-31°F), a 120V engine coolant heater is installed, the alternator and starter are uprated — the latter being an extreme-duty electric unit — and the outside mirrors are heated at 24V. A rear window defroster fan, heated air-suspension cloth seat, and rear wiper and washer complete the cold-weather provisions. A Low Ambient global arrangement further confirms this machine was configured for operation in harsh winter environments.
The moldboard is 14 feet long by 27 inches tall by 1 inch thick, with a curved cutting edge measuring 8 inches by ¾ inch and end bits fitted without overlay. The machine is equipped with a ripper/scarifier at the rear and a front-mounting manual lift group with a 1.5-inch lift capability. An articulation guard and a transmission guard are both installed, and the machine features auto articulation (noted as a demo-specification control).
Grade technology is represented by Grade Control X Slope and an AccuGrade-ready installation, giving the machine compatibility with advanced machine-control systems. The machine also carries a SY-Klone precleaner for enhanced engine air filtration. Lighting is extensive: high-intensity front headlights, plus halogen working lights, heel work lights (3×3), and midframe toe work lights are all fitted, with a dedicated work lighting switch. Auxiliary lighting is also noted as installed, along with a warning light mounting.
The cab is equipped with an AM/FM radio, a CB communication converter, a camera, standard glass, and English (U.S.) decals throughout. An online owner's manual is included. A gravity drain for engine oil and an ether starting aid are also part of the specification. The machine is priced at $265,780 and is available from Colorado, USA.
