Cat M Series 3 graders bring the latest emissions reduction technology to the most durable,
productive and comfortable motor graders on the market. From building roads to maintaining
them, Cat motor graders are designed to help you get more work done in less time.
The 14M3 includes features that optimize operating cost reduction, uptime and performance
improvements as well as enhanced safety. Outstanding durability, unprecedented operator
comfort and ease of service help maximize your return on investment.

Structures and Drawbar-Circle-Moldboard
Engineered for maximum production and service life.
4
Structure Strength – Built to Last
The 14M3’s front frame, hitch area and rear frame provide performance
and durability in heavy duty applications.
• Front Frame Structure – continuous top and bottom plate construction
provides consistency and strength. The Center Shift Section is made
of a single, heavy duty steel casting which improves stress distribution
to this high load area of the mainframe for enhanced durability.
• Rear Frame Structure – is designed to provide easy service access to
components in the engine enclosure as well as to improve machine
balance while utilizing two bumper castings and thick hitch plates for
improved durability. Mechanical locks prevent frame articulation to
ensure safety when servicing or transporting the machine.
5
Engine
Consistent power and reliability for
maximum productivity.
Engine
The Cat C13 ACERT engine gives you the performance to
maintain consistent grading speeds for maximum productivity.
Superior torque and lugging capability pulls through sudden,
short-term load increases.
6
Emission Technology
Providing you reliable, integrated solutions.
Emission Standards
Emissions reduction technology on the 14M3 motor grader is
designed to be transparent, with no action required from you.
It delivers the same power and torque needed for optimal
performance. The C13 ACERT engine variation with Tier 4 Final/
Stage IV emission standards includes:
• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter can provide a particulate
reduction of greater than 90%. It filters soot from the exhaust
then the soot is removed through the regeneration process
automatically or manually.
• Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
The Selective Catalytic Reduction system can provide
a NOx reduction of greater than 90%. SCR operation is
transparent to the operator during operation. The urea
solution, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), is pumped from the
DEF tank and is sprayed into the exhaust stream. The DEF
reacts with the SCR catalyst to reduce NOx.
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
Diesel Exhaust Fluid is a liquid injected into the exhaust
system of engines equipped with Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) systems. DEF that meets ISO 22241
specifications is required.
• Ground Level Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Fill
The 14M3 DEF fill allows the DEF tank to be conveniently
filled from ground level. Simply refill the DEF tank when
you refuel.
7
Power Train
Maximum power to the ground.
The front axle steering cylinder and sensing guards have been
designed to enhance durability and hydraulic hoses have been routed
to improve reliability.
Optional heavy and light duty front guards are available to help
protect the front axle from rocks or other debris that could damage
the axle or its components.
8
Power Train
The 14M3 gives you efficiency and longevity in your most demanding applications.
• The Standard Automatic Differential Lock feature will lock and unlock the
differential automatically, based on the application, for easier operation
and improved power train protection.
• Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS) transmission
is a key contributor to improved speed shift performance in the 14M3.
You will notice enhanced comfort during shifting resulting in an increased
level of productivity.
• Eight forward and six reverse gears are specifically designed to give you
a wide operating range for maximum productivity.
• Engine Over-Speed Protection prevents downshifting until an acceptable
safe travel speed has been established.
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 for a large total brake surface area to give you dependable
stopping power and longer life.
9
Operator Station
Designed for your comfort, convenience
and productivity.
Ease of Operation
Two electro-hydraulic joysticks reduce hand and wrist movement
up to 78%, compared to conventional lever controls, resulting in greatly
enhanced operator comfort and efficiency. The intuitive control pattern
allows both new and experienced operators to quickly become productive.
Electronically adjustable control pods help position joysticks for optimal
comfort, visibility and proper operation.
You can choose the blade lift modulation mode that best fits your
application or operating style: Fine, Normal or Coarse.
10
Visibility
Good visibility is key to your safety and efficiency. The 14M3’s large windows
provide exceptional visibility while an optional rear vision camera can further
enhance your lines of sight to the rear of the machine.
Now conveniently located in the center console, a message display shows machine
and diagnostic information in addition to Cat GRADE with Cross Slope readings.
The keypad allows activation and deactivation of different functions in the machine
with one touch and indicates whether a function is active or not through light
emitting diode (LED) lights.
The standard mechanical suspension seat has side bolsters that restrain side‐to
side movement especially when working on side slopes. Multiple isolation mounts
significantly reduce sound and vibration for a more relaxed work environment.
An optional heated and ventilated seat provides enhanced comfort for operators
in extreme weather conditions.
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.
Additional storage space for commonly used cabin items is included inside the cab.
11
Hydraulics
Advanced machine controls with precise
and predictable movements.
Blade Float
Allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By floating both
cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the road. 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.
12
Cat Connect Technologies
Monitor, manage, and enhance
job site operations.
13
Safety
Focused on keeping everyone safe.
Brake Systems
Brakes are located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking
loads on the power train. Redundant brake systems utilize
accumulator to enable stopping in case of machine failure.
Access to Tandem
Strategically placed grab handles and non slip steps are located
behind the tandems of the 14M3 for access to tandem walkways.
14
Speed Sensitive Steering
Makes steering less sensitive as ground speed increases for
greater operator confidence and control.
15
Serviceability
Reduce service time to increase your uptime.
16

Moldboard Options
A 4.3 m (14 ft) moldboard is standard on the 14M3. An optional 4.9 m (16 ft) moldboard is available.
Rear Ripper/Scarifier
The 3‐shank ripper penetrates tough material fast and rips thoroughly for easier movement with the
moldboard. Nine scarifier shanks can also be added to break material into smaller particles for
easier mixing and better adhesion.
