Newer machines with fancier screens roll through the market every year, yet these two keep outselling and outlasting almost everything else on the used lot. That&#8217;s not nostalgia. It&#8217;s a pattern built on money, trust, and thousands of hours logged on Texas roads.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/why-the-cat-140-john-deere-772g-remain-texas-market-favorites\/#Why_Do_Texas_Contractors_Keep_Coming_Back_to_These_Two_Machines\" >Why Do Texas Contractors Keep Coming Back to These Two Machines?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/why-the-cat-140-john-deere-772g-remain-texas-market-favorites\/#What_Makes_the_Cat_140_Motor_Grader_For_Sale_Such_a_Safe_Bet_for_Fleets\" >What Makes the Cat 140 Motor Grader For Sale Such a Safe Bet for Fleets?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/why-the-cat-140-john-deere-772g-remain-texas-market-favorites\/#Why_Does_the_John_Deere_772G_Win_Over_Operators\" >Why Does the John Deere 772G Win Over Operators?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/why-the-cat-140-john-deere-772g-remain-texas-market-favorites\/#Cat_140_or_John_Deere_772G_Which_One_Fits_Your_Job_Site\" >Cat 140 or John Deere 772G: Which One Fits Your Job Site?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/why-the-cat-140-john-deere-772g-remain-texas-market-favorites\/#Resale_Value_and_the_Used_Market_Advantage\" >Resale Value and the Used Market Advantage<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/why-the-cat-140-john-deere-772g-remain-texas-market-favorites\/#Will_These_Models_Stay_on_Top_Through_2027\" >Will These Models Stay on Top Through 2027?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/why-the-cat-140-john-deere-772g-remain-texas-market-favorites\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/why-the-cat-140-john-deere-772g-remain-texas-market-favorites\/#1_Are_Cat_140_and_John_Deere_772G_graders_still_worth_buying_used_in_2026\" >1.

The state&#8217;s transportation plan now tops $146 billion over the next decade, with roughly 11,000 projects moving through planning, design, or construction at any given moment. Every one of those projects needs graders that show up and work without drama, so contractors lean on machines their crews already know how to run, and their mechanics already know how to fix.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few reasons keep surfacing across fleets and dealer conversations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parts and service are easy to find in nearly every Texas region, from the Panhandle to the Gulf Coast<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operators already know the controls, so training time on a new hire drops significantly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financing companies favor these models, which keeps monthly payments predictable for smaller contractors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both machines hold up under long, hot shifts without constant downtime<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_the_Cat_140_Motor_Grader_For_Sale_Such_a_Safe_Bet_for_Fleets\"><\/span><b>What Makes the <\/b><b>Cat 140 Motor Grader For Sale<\/b><b> Such a Safe Bet for Fleets?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caterpillar&#8217;s dealer footprint in Texas is hard to match. When a part breaks on a Friday afternoon, there&#8217;s almost always a branch nearby that can get a replacement moving before Monday, and that backup matters more than a spec sheet ever will. It&#8217;s a big reason a Cat 140 Motor Grader For Sale rarely stays listed for long, at a private dealer or on an auction block. Our breakdown of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/cat-140-motor-grader-for-sale-how-it-became-the-global-standard\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how the Cat 140 became the global standard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> covers the full backstory behind that reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers also like that a <\/span><b>Cat 140 Motor Grader For Sale <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spans so many model years and configurations, from an older 140G or 140H on a tight budget to a low-hour 140M3 with modern hydraulics, all without switching brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_the_John_Deere_772G_Win_Over_Operators\"><\/span><b>Why Does the John Deere 772G Win Over Operators?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask an operator why they prefer a <\/span><b>John Deere motor grader<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the answer usually comes down to feel. The steering response, seat comfort, and joystick layout on the 772G get mentioned constantly in fleet chatter, and that comfort translates into steadier grading over a full shift. Municipalities and counties gravitate toward a John Deere motor grader because government fleets keep machines longer, so comfort behind the wheel becomes a real productivity factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resale plays a role too. A well-maintained John Deere motor grader moves quickly once it hits the used market, and contractors who&#8217;ve run one before often go looking for the same model again.
