Perform a variety of jobs
including heavy blade work,
road maintenance snow removal and precision finishing
with Caterpillar’s 120M2 and
12M2 motor graders, which
are also available in allwheel-drive models 120M2
AWD and 12M2 AWD.
Variable Horsepower Plus, which delivers additional horsepower in each forward gear 5th through 8th for more power
at higher speeds, is standard on all M Series 2 models. The VHP
Plus system also limits horsepower in lower gears to reduce
wheel slip and aids in conserving fuel. The ACERT technologyequipped engines use the Cat NOx Reduction System combined with aftertreatment technologies to meet Tier 4 Interim
emissions standards. Improvements over the M Series grader
include a longer wheelbase, larger displacement engine, additional power and more torque. Two electronic joysticks deliver
machine control while reducing hand and wrist movement
by almost 80 percent compared to conventional controls. The
PRODUCTIVE PADDLE
grader is available with the new Cat Grade Control Cross Slope
System, a complete machine control and guidance system
that provides automatic cross slope control capability and is
compatible with AccuGrade systems.

REDUCE COMPACTION PASSES
Eliminate the need to manually block the trailer frame with
Rogers’ gooseneck jack paddle, which is installed on the bottom
of the trailer’s gooseneck and requires little or no tractor modification. A hydraulic cylinder pushes the two-legged paddle onto
the tractor frame to support the detached gooseneck and prevent
it from dragging on the ground. The paddle is standard on Rogers’
CobraNeck detachable gooseneck.
Easily handle small compaction jobs with 25 percent fewer
passes with Weber MT’s CR 6 H walk-behind soil compactor, which has a Hatz diesel engine and delivers 11,250
pounds of compaction force. Featuring a 24-inch standard
operating width, the compactor can be adjusted to 18 or
28 inches wide. A hydraulic variable shifter enables the
CR 6 H to travel in either forward or reverse, and adjustable handles reduce hand and arm vibration.
