Motor Graders

What Are Motor Graders Used For?

Motor graders are used when a project requires precise surface shaping, road preparation, slope control, or finish grading. Unlike dozers, which are built for pushing and rough grading, motor graders are designed to create smoother, more accurate surfaces across longer stretches of ground.

Contractors commonly use motor graders for road construction, gravel road maintenance, commercial site development, pad preparation, drainage shaping, shoulder work, and final grade work before paving or surfacing. They are especially valuable when crews need a consistent blade angle, controlled material movement, and a finished surface that meets project specifications.

For contractors handling roadwork, subdivision development, infrastructure projects, or large commercial sites, buying a motor grader can provide long-term production value if the machine will be used consistently.

When to Buy a Motor Grader

Buying a motor grader makes sense when your company has recurring grading work, frequent road maintenance needs, or enough long-term demand to justify ownership.

Consider buying a motor grader when you need to:

• Build or maintain roads on a regular basis
• Handle recurring finish grading work
• Support civil, commercial, or infrastructure projects
• Maintain gravel roads, haul roads, or access roads
• Improve control over project scheduling and equipment availability
• Reduce dependency on short-term rentals
• Add grading capacity to an existing fleet
• Replace an older grader with a more productive machine
• Take on larger projects that require in-house grading capability

A motor grader purchase is usually most practical when the machine will stay active across multiple projects instead of sitting idle between occasional grading needs.

Available Motor Grader Options

AdvanceTrac’s equipment network includes Cat and Deere motor graders suited for grading, roadwork, and heavy construction applications.

Available motor grader options include:

• Cat 140H/K, 14′ MB, 32,500 lbs
• Cat 150, 14′ MB, 42,000 lbs
• Cat 150 AWD, 14′ MB, 44,000 lbs
• Deere 772GP, 14′ MB, 45,000 lbs

The Cat 140H/K can be a practical option for contractors needing a dependable grader for road maintenance, general grading, and sitework. Larger machines such as the Cat 150, Cat 150 AWD, and Deere 772GP provide additional operating weight and capability for heavier grading conditions, larger road projects, and more demanding jobsite environments.

If you are unsure which motor grader is the right fit, AdvanceTrac can help evaluate your project type, expected usage, terrain, production needs, and budget.

Why Buy a Motor Grader?

Buying a motor grader gives contractors control over a critical piece of grading equipment. For companies that regularly perform roadwork or finish grading, ownership can reduce scheduling friction and help crews respond faster when grading work is ready.

Buying may help solve common fleet and project challenges, including:

• Frequent rental needs that are becoming costly
• Scheduling delays caused by equipment availability
• Recurring road maintenance or grading contracts
• Need for dedicated in-house finish grading capability
• Long-term fleet expansion
• Replacement of aging or underperforming equipment
• Greater control over maintenance, utilization, and operator familiarity

Ownership can also make sense when your team knows the machine will be used across multiple jobs and wants consistent access without needing to coordinate rental windows.
