The 2014 CAT 160M2 AWD Motor Grader is a robust machine powered by a Cat C9.3 ACERT engine delivering approximately 213–283 hp at 2,100 rpm with a displacement of 567.5 in³ (9.3 L), featuring a bore of 4.5 inches and a stroke of 5.9 inches. It meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIB emissions standards. The grader utilizes a variable piston pump hydraulic system with a closed-center, parallel circuit delivering about 3,500 psi and 40-55.5 gal/min flow, supporting precise and strong blade control. The transmission offers 8 forward and 6 reverse gears with some models featuring auto-shift, ensuring adaptable speed and power management. The machine weighs around 33,000 to 35,000 lbs depending on configuration, with a fuel tank capacity near 15.8 gallons. It features a 14-foot moldboard capable of full 360° rotation, with blade tip angles of 40° forward and 5° backward, and side shifts of roughly 26 inches left and 20 inches right. Tandem oscillation allows the front axle up to 15° and the rear up to 22°, assisting in rough terrain adaptability, complemented by a ground clearance of approximately 24 inches. The front steering capability includes a maximum angle of 47.5°, and the frame steering achieves 20°, with a total oscillation of 32°. The operator’s cab is ROPS-certified with sound suppression below 73 dB(A), designed for operator comfort and safety with service intervals at 500, 1000, and 2000 hours. Additional features include no-spin differentials, on-demand fan, heavy-duty electrical systems, and optional rear ripper and front scarifier attachments enhancing its versatility in heavy-duty grading operations.
