It is more than an engine. It serves as a dependable workhorse that delivers consistent, efficient performance under heavy workloads. Having a power output of between 165 and 185 horsepower, it can do tough jobs without sacrificing fuel economy. This model features a direct-drive power shift transmission that gives the operator smooth gear control and efficient power delivery to the wheels. Whether it is shaping a roadbed or fine grading on rugged ground, it is the responsive performance of the <\/span><b>140H<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that operators can rely on.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engine: CAT 3306 Turbo Diesel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Power Output: 165\u2013185 HP range<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transmission: Direct drive power shift system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooling System: Designed to operate long.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Operator_Comfort_and_Control\"><\/span><b>Operator Comfort and Control<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caterpillar has always placed importance on the comfort of the operator, and, in the 2005 model, they were ahead of their time. Grading work typically requires lengthy shifts in a difficult environment, and therefore, a well-built cabin is all that matters. The <\/span><b>140H<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was constructed keeping this fact in view. The cabin design offers excellent visibility, conveniently located controls, and comfortable seating, decreasing fatigue and increasing accuracy.
