Cat 140M Grader Price Guide
A broad indicative used-price band for the Cat 140M, modelled from a sourced new price and HeavyBook’s disclosed grader depreciation curve. It is not verified sold data; age, hours and condition decide where a real machine lands.
We don't have a verified used price range for the Cat 140M right now.
The transparent estimate below is a modelled reference from a sourced new price. It is deliberately separate from verified market ranges and never counts as market evidence.

Used — indicative estimate
This is a broad modelled estimate, not a verified market range. It starts with the sourced indicative new price of $397,000 and applies HeavyBook’s declared depreciation curve for graders at the reference ages shown above. A real machine can sit outside it because of hours, condition, attachments and location. See the method →
The 140M sits in the middle of Cat's grader range and is close to the default road machine in Australia — the model shire councils, civil contractors and rural landholders reach for when roads need building or holding together. It marked the shift from the old lever-steer generation to joystick controls, which still divides veteran operators, so confirm your operator is comfortable before committing. Used stock runs from hard-worked ex-contractor units to well-kept ex-government machines with full service history, and asking prices spread widely as a result — hours, condition and documentation matter far more than age alone. All-wheel-drive variants and machines fitted with rippers, push blocks or grade-control hardware appear regularly. Supply sits mainly along the eastern seaboard, and tidy late-model examples with provenance hold their money notably well.

What Moves the Price
GPS / machine control
A grader wired for machine control — or sold with the kit — commands a clear premium from civil buyers who would otherwise pay to retrofit.
Circle & blade condition
A tight circle, straight moldboard and healthy cutting edges are the heart of a grader. Buyers pay up for one that still holds grade.
Council & fleet disposals
Shire and fleet auction disposals set the floor of the market. Dealer-reconditioned machines recover most of the gap.
Hours & driveline wear
High-hour transmissions and tandem-drive wear are expensive rebuilds — buyers price them before they price the machine.
