Designed for Operators
- Good visibility is key to 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. The standard rear vision camera further enhances lines of sight all around the machine.
- Experience the most spacious, comfortable cab in the industry.
- Easy-to-learn joystick controls replace levers, so hand and arm movement is reduced, helping reduce operator fatigue for better productivity.
- Industry-exclusive three axis joysticks
Left joystick controls have transmission, gear shifting up and down, and transmission directional control.
Right joystick controls drawbar, circle and moldboard functions as well as electronic throttle control and manual differential lock/unlock. - Joystick follow steer - lean angle mirrors the steer tires' turning angle.
- Friction pack, a brake tensioning system, holds the joystick in position until the operator moves it.
- Cat joystick Motor Graders have industry-exclusive follow steer, which allows the front wheels to follow the joystick input.
- Infinitely variable roller switches control the rear ripper and/or front lift group (when equipped).
- Control switches are in easy reach.
- Updated seat offers softer cushions, three-position tilt and optional heated and heated/cooled cushions.
- Control pods are electronically positioned allowing each operator to set the ideal operating position.
- Multiple isolation mounts reduce sound and vibration for a more relaxed work environment.
- High capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and keeps windows clear.
- Option of choosing AM/FM/Weatherband/Bluetooth® technology or AM/FM/Weatherband/Bluetooth plus Sirius XM radio.
- Electronic Throttle Control helps improve productivity by providing the best match of horsepower and torque for the demands of the application.
- Articulation Return-to-Center automatically returns the machine to a straight frame position from any angle with the touch of a button.
- Select Fine, Normal or Coarse blade lift modulation to best fit application or operator preference.

Built for Long-Term Production
- Caterpillar designs motor grader frame and drawbar components to give you performance and durability.
- The optional High Performance Circle (HPC) improved machine performance, efficiency, and uptime availability when maintaining the jobsite.
- The standard, one-piece forged steel circle stands up to high stress loads, and a sacrificial wear system helps keep your service time and costs down.
- The drawbar, circle and moldboard make it easy for you to keep the components tight.
- Shims and patented top-adjust wear strips are easy to add or replace, reducing downtime.
- Durable nylon composite wear inserts maximize circle torque and component life.
- Wear strips between the blade mounting group and moldboard can be easily adjusted and replaced.
- Shimless Moldboard Retention System uses vertical and horizontal adjusting screws to keep moldboard wear strips aligned for reduced blade chatter and precise blade control.
- An aggressive blade angle, optimized moldboard curvature and large throat clearance help you work more efficiently by allowing material to roll more freely along the blade.
- Heat-treated rails, hardened cutting edges and end bits, and heavy duty bolts to give you greater moldboard reliability and long service life.
- Link bar allows extreme moldboard positioning for easier bank sloping and ditch cutting/cleaning.
- Proven load-sensing hydraulic system and advanced electro-hydraulics give you superior implement control and responsive performance that makes operator's jobs 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 can float 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.
- Large, separate hydraulic oil supplies prevent cross-contamination and provide proper oil cooling, reducing heat build-up and extending component life.
- Articulation hitch features a large tapered roller bearing to carry loads evenly and smoothly. It is sealed to prevent contamination and a locking pin prevents articulation during service or transport.
- Cat XT™ hose allows high pressures for maximum power and reduced downtime.
