10 Old Road GradersThat Still Humiliate Modern Ones

Modern motor graders are packed with GPS systems, touchscreens, sensors, and software—but many operators still swear by the old iron. Why? Because these legendary graders were built for one thing: working every single day without failure. From the iconic Caterpillar No. 12 Auto Patrol to the unstoppable Caterpillar 140G and the massive Champion 100-T, these machines proved that simplicity, balance, and operator skill can outperform modern complexity. In this video, we explore ten old road graders that still dominate real job sites decades after they were built. You’ll discover how machines like the Caterpillar 12E, Galion T-700, Austin-Western 99, and Champion 720 changed road construction forever—and why many operators still prefer them today.
