This machine provides the grader operator with as much visibility and comfort as possible. In fact, it\u2019s got the biggest and most comfortable cab in the industry. With only one main joystick and no levers to clog up the cab, operators have never had so much room! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A spacious cab reduces operator fatigue, as well as increases productivity. Other cab features include an adjustable seat, multiple isolation mounts to reduce sound and vibration, and a HVAC system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike their previous models, the Caterpillar 140M does not have hydraulics underneath the cab.
