Model History and Information: The Cat 16 is a large motor grader used for heavy grading, road building, and maintenance of large haul roads, and the M3 update carries it onto Caterpillar's third-generation M Series platform with a 16-foot moldboard geared toward maintaining roads for haul trucks up to about 150 tons. It is powered by a Cat C13 ACERT engine using Caterpillar's Optimized Variable-Horsepower system, with net power ratings Caterpillar lists from roughly 290 to 348 hp depending on load, and an operating weight near 71,500 lb. Its direct-drive powershift transmission runs eight forward and six reverse gears with Caterpillar's Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Strategy to smooth shifts, and a standard rearview camera and full-color touchscreen round out the operator features.
