This Caterpillar 140M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or a blade — a heavy construction machine designed to create flat, precisely graded surfaces for road building, site preparation, and earthmoving work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction, mining, and infrastructure equipment, known for producing durable, high-performance machines used across a wide range of industries globally. This 2017 example is located in Texas, USA, and is offered at $250,000.
The machine is equipped with a 14-foot hydraulic stainless steel moldboard with tip control, giving the operator precise command over blade angle and material flow for accurate grading passes. A rear ripper is fitted, allowing the machine to break up compacted ground or asphalt prior to regrading. A front push block is also present, extending the machine's versatility for dozing and material management tasks on site.
The motor grader is ARO ready, indicating it is prepared for all-wheel drive or an articulated rear axle option depending on the configuration intended, which is a useful feature for buyers seeking enhanced traction or maneuverability in difficult terrain. Power comes from a Final Tier IV compliant engine, meeting the most current EPA emissions standards for this equipment class without the need for a diesel particulate filter in many applications.
The operator's cab is an EROPS — enclosed rollover protective structure — providing a fully enclosed, safety-rated working environment. The cab includes both air conditioning and a heater, ensuring operator comfort across a wide range of working conditions and climates. The machine rides on 17.5Rx25 tires, a radial tire specification suited to the demands of grader operation on mixed surfaces.
