2018 - Caterpillar 140M3 Motor Grader

About this machine

This Caterpillar 140M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine designed to grade, level, and fine-finish road surfaces, embankments, and large earthwork areas. Caterpillar is one of the world's most established manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a product range that spans earthmoving machinery, engines, and related technologies serving construction, road-building, mining, and civil engineering industries worldwide. This example was built in 2018 and is located in New Mexico, USA, listed at $265,000.

Power comes from a Cat C9.3 engine rated at 252 horsepower, meeting Tier 4 emissions standards. The drivetrain is protected by a transmission guard, and starting assistance is provided by an ether starting aid alongside a heavy-duty electric starter. The machine is fitted with a 150-amp alternator and an extra-heavy-duty battery, reflecting a specification aimed at reliable performance in demanding conditions. Engine oil drain is gravity-fed, and hydraulic oil is specified as 10W. Coolant is mixed 50/50 to a cold-weather protection rating of -35°C (-31°F).

The moldboard measures 14 feet by 24 inches by 7/8 inch, with a curved cutting edge of 8 inches by 3/4 inch and end bits configured without overlay. The machine is equipped with a ripper/scarifier on a Base + 1 ripper configuration, with additional ripper hydraulic lines installed and a hitch guard group. A counterweight push plate is fitted to the front. The blade articulation system is listed as auto articulation, noted as a demonstration-specification control.

The operator's station features an air suspension cloth seat with seat belt, heated outside mirrors (24V), a sun shade, and standard glass throughout the cab. Climate provisions include an engine coolant heater rated for 120V, a rear window defroster fan, and a cold-weather package. A 12V power port is present alongside throttle control and a tool box. Three wiper/washer units are fitted, including a rear wiper/washer, and the cab is equipped with an online owner's manual.

Lighting is extensive: front low halogen headlights, fold-down arm lights, heel work lights (3x3), midframe toe work lights, a full halogen working lights plus package, auxiliary lighting, and a federal light bar. A warning light mounting is also included. Visibility is further supported by a SY-Klone precleaner. Safety provisions include disc brakes, a travel alarm, and outside heated mirrors.

The machine carries a Grade Control Ready specification with harness only — meaning the structural and electrical provisions for a grade control system are in place, but the active system itself is not installed. A communication converter is fitted. The air intake uses a SY-Klone precleaner, and the overall arrangement is specified as low ambient. Decals are in English (U.S.), and the certification code is listed as NCR. This machine is Cat Certified Used and is sold on an as-is/as-received basis, with hours recorded at 4,200 as of 28 September 2023.
