Cat 140M Motor Grader Controls

A professional show of the grader controls

[jwathey]

Best grader I ever ran in twenty years. Love the controls your engineers did a very good job of thinking about the operator. As an operator Tell them THANK YOU!! You made my job a lot better.

These graders are the best out there, it only took 15-20 mins and I was grading fine. Love them

Been running old 140g's for years, when I got on my first M I out worked our other 3 graders hands down, best grader on the market right now, all others follow cats lead

Spot on. If you can't adapt, by all means go back to whatever you're used to and let the people who are capable of adapting take over. Learn or burn.

Very convenient and ergonomic control. And the whole cabin - very comfortable!

@MattyG135 Articulation control is on the left joystick. Twist it left and machine will twist to the left. Twist right for right twist. Press the yellow button on the top left of the same joystick to auto re-center the articulation.

I am a sub contractor to an oilfield company and run a 163H, when mine was down they let me try out the new M and I must say it really threw me for a loop, but I didn't feel half the fatigue I do at the end of the day.

Although the same overall length as the current G&H, the 2extra ft of wheel base relieves your worries of catching a tire with the moldboard. The implement Modulation (fine, med & course) is awesome! Adjusting the lift cylinders to accommodate the operators Reaction to: Ground Speed timing is Ingeniousness ! And the list goes

[saulantunez]

Thanks for this. I was changing tires on one and couldn't figure how to rotate the blade. Had no idea you just had to twist it lol

I'll be running one of these next year, but right now, I'm pushing over piles of rap down and spreading over dirt roads and I'll tell you right now, I love my 12H and the steering wheel I get to hold onto as that grader bucks and jumps going over that pile of rap! You can't go slow either, not when you have 5-10 dump trucks behind you waiting to dump!

[motorcop]

I am old school. I need the console with 12 levers, a steering wheel, and my throttle lever and gears off to my right! Now THAT's a true grader!

[beozzie]

Phew, isn’t that just a beautiful machine..

[speedyred]

Never mind real graders, what about real grader operators? They are the ones who have the ability to adapt to whatever machine they are using at the time. Every different grader has it's good and bad points. Too bad there are so many "operators" out there who can only bag machines they don't like for whatever bullshit reason. There are no bad graders, just bad grader operators.

Isso ñ é uma máqina isso é um navi muito boa máquina em todo já trabalhei com uma 12M 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[ro]

i have run a cat 140m for two years that guy doesnt know what he is doing must be a salesmen Cat made a great grader i love the m

[StrokeSmokes]

they have a left arm rest but your arm still tends to drift fucking up your steering, as i was told by a operator with 60 years experience on a grader. He did like the visibility of the cab, but still prefers the H series graders.

[justgonnastay]

I'm not an operator, but that looks like it would be a scary learning curve just to move it forward and steer it!

[truckz]

I couldn't have said it any better, so true!!

[jasongriner]

That concert they was advertising on the radio was naming good bands
