This Caterpillar 160M3 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or a blade — a heavy construction machine built to level, shape, and grade surfaces for road building, site preparation, and maintenance work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, supplying machines to the construction, mining, infrastructure, and forestry industries globally. This example was built in 2018, is located in Montana, USA, and is offered at $375,100.
The machine is configured with all-wheel drive, as reflected in the Cold Weather Plus Package AWD fitment, making it well suited to the demanding terrain and seasonal conditions common in the Northern Plains region. Cold-weather readiness is a notable theme throughout this unit's specification: the coolant is mixed to a 60/40 ratio rated to -51°C (-60°F), an engine coolant heater running on 120V is fitted, and an extreme-duty electric starter is installed to ensure reliable cold-start performance. A gravity engine oil drain is also included, simplifying servicing in harsh conditions.
Lighting is comprehensively equipped. The machine carries fold-down arm lights, high-beam front headlights, halogen working lights in a Plus configuration, internal service lights, and a warning light mounting point. This level of lighting provision supports extended working hours and low-visibility conditions. Mirrors are outside heated units operating on 24V, appropriate for cold-climate operation.
The unit is snow-arrangement configured and is frame-ready for a snow wing mount, indicating it has been prepared — or previously used — for winter road maintenance duties. Additional ripper lines are plumbed, and a ripper/scarifier attachment is included, allowing the machine to break up compacted or frozen material before grading. The base specification is listed as Base + 5, incorporating options coded as WM, WT, DA1, FL, and RIP.
A SY-KLONE precleaner is fitted to protect the air intake in dusty or debris-heavy environments. The transmission is Autoshift, providing automatic gear selection during operation. Operator comfort and safety provisions include a seat belt, an inducement override control, and access to an online owner's manual. Front AWD fenders are fitted. A camera is installed on the machine, and auxiliary lighting is present in addition to the primary lighting systems. A standard fuel tank is specified. Decals and language settings are English (U.S.), and the global arrangement is noted as Low Ambient. The engine carries serial number SYE25133. The equipment certification code is NCR, and this unit was supplied as a domestic truck order.
