Overview

Power and Precision Drive this Productive Grader

New Name, Same Fame. The 160K is now named the 160. The Cat® 160 Motor Grader is the machine you can count on when you need to get work done. Cat motor graders help you make the most of your investment by delivering maximum productivity and durability. The Cat C7 engine, direct-drive power shift transmission, and load sensing hydraulics work together to ensure the power and precision you need to work in demanding conditions. And Cat motor graders are backed by the world-class Cat dealer network to keep you up and running.

Benefits

Maximize Performance

Power shift countershaft transmission matched to engine maximizes power to the ground.

Increase Efficiency

Aggressive blade angles, optimized moldboard curvature, and large throat clearance allow material to roll more freely along the blade.

Simple to Operate

Optional AutoShift Transmission maximizes productivity by automatically shifting the transmission at optimal shift points.
