The M Series Motor Grader has become the industry standard in operational efficiency and
overall productivity. From building roads to maintaining them, M Series Motor Graders are
designed to help you get more work done in less time. Unprecedented operator comfort
and ease of service help to maximize your return on investment.

Operator Station
Comfort, productivity, advanced technology
Visibility
Good visibility is key to your safety and efficiency. Angled cab doors, tapered engine enclosure and a sloped rear window make it
easy to see the moldboard and tires, as well as behind the machine. An optional rear vision camera further enhances lines of sight
all around the machine.
A standard Cat Comfort Series suspension seat is fully adjustable. Control pods can be adjusted electronically so it is even easier
to set up for an ideal operating position. Multiple isolation mounts significantly reduce sound and vibration for a more relaxed work
environment.
The high capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air,
seals out dust and keeps windows clear.

Steering and Implement Controls
Joystick Functions
The left joystick controls steering, articulation, return
to-center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard
lift cylinder and float.
Articulation Return-to-Center
Automatically returns the machine to a straight frame
position from any angle with the touch of a button.

Engine
Power and reliability
Cat C7 and C9 ACERT engines give you the performance you need to maintain
consistent grading speeds for maximum productivity. Superior torque and lugging
capability provide the power to pull through sudden, short-term increases in loads.
6
Power Train
Maximum power to the ground
Hydraulic Brakes
Oil-bathed multi-disc service brakes are hydraulically
actuated for smooth, predictable braking and lower operating
costs. Brakes are located at each tandem wheel and have
a large total brake surface area to give you dependable
stopping power and longer life.

Hydraulics
Advanced machine control
Responsive Hydraulics
A proven load-sensing system and advanced electro-hydraulics give you superior
implement control and responsive hydraulic performance that helps make your operator’s
job easier. Continuously matching hydraulic flow/pressure to power demands creates less
heat and reduces power consumption.
• Consistent, Predictable Movement – Proportional Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPP-C)
valves have different flow rates for the head and rod ends of the cylinder, so you can
count on consistent, predictable implement response.
• Balanced Flow – Hydraulic flow is proportioned to give you confidence that all implements
will operate simultaneously without slowing the engine or speed of some implements.
Blade Float
Allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By floating both cylinders, the blade
can follow the contours of the ground. Floating only one cylinder permits the toe of the blade
to follow a hard surface while the operator controls the slope with the other lift cylinder.

Integrated Technologies
Solutions to make work easier and more efficient
Cat AccuGrade
AccuGrade uses positioning and guidance technologies, machine
sensors, and automatic blade control to help your operators get to grade
faster, easier and more efficiently. Digital design plans, real-time cut/fill
data, and in-cab guidance give operators detailed information to work
more confidently and achieve greater accuracy, in fewer passes, using
less material. Operators can stay on grade and improve productivity and
accuracy by nearly 50 percent over conventional methods. Grade stakes
and checkers are minimized, helping to make the work site safer and
more cost effective. AccuGrade technologies include Cross Slope, Sonic,
Laser, GPS, and/or Universal Total Station (UTS).

Safety
Designed with protection in mind
12
Operator Presence Monitoring System
System keeps the parking brake engaged and hydraulic
implements disabled until the operator is seated and the machine
is ready for operation.
Hydraulic Lockout
Hydraulic lockout disables all implement functions while still
providing machine steering control. This is especially useful
while roading.
Brake Systems
Brakes are located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking loads
on the power train. Redundant brake systems utilize accumulators
to enable stopping in case of machine failure.

Moldboard Options
The 12M, 140M and 160M motor graders
come equipped with a 3.7 m (12 ft) moldboard.
An optional 4.3 m (14 ft) blade is available for all
models, as well as a 4.9 m (16 ft) moldboard for
the 160M. Left side extensions can be added
for greater versatility.
Rear Ripper/Scarifier
Made to penetrate tough material fast and rip thoroughly for easier movement with
the moldboard. The ripper includes three shanks (with holders for five). Nine scarifier
shanks can also be added for additional versatility.
15
Sustainability
Thinking generations ahead
Fuel Efficiency
• Integrated machine systems and technologies improve productivity for greater accuracy, allowing the machine to do more work
per gallon of fuel.
Sound
• Reduced engine noise and quieter cabs mean lower operator and spectator sound levels.
Safety
• Ecology drains help make draining fluids more convenient and help prevent spills.
• Cartridge style hydraulic fluid filters provide safe clean draining of filters prior to replacement, helping to prevent fluid spills.
• A variety of safety features help safeguard operators and others on the job site.
