Hydraulics
Low effort and precise control for highly effi cient performance
Outstanding Performance
With two percent more hydraulic pressure for additional lift and 
breakout forces, the 314D hydraulic system is designed for high 
effi ciency and performance. Auxiliary hydraulic and electrical 
lines are routed to the boom foot as standard, making retrofi t 
of hydraulic circuits much easier. This compact design utilizes 
short tubes and lines, reducing friction and pressure drops, 
resulting in a more effi cient use of power.
Hydraulic snubbers at the rod end of the boom cylinders and 
both ends of the stick cylinder cushion shock, reduce sound 
and increase cylinder life.
Flow is reduced to a minimum when controls are in neutral to 
reduce fuel consumption and extend component life.
Hydraulic Cross-Sensing System uses two hydraulic pumps 
up to 100 percent of available hydraulic horsepower under 
all operating conditions, improving productivity with faster 
implement speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit
The boom and stick electronic regeneration circuit saves energy 
during boom-down and stick-in operation, increasing effi ciency 
and lowering operating costs.
Easy Operation
Work mode and power mode switches have been eliminated 
making full power available at all times. Operators do not need 
to learn different modes. An automatic boom and swing priority 
function automatically selects the best mode based on joystick 
movement.
