Power Train
Cat ® Hystat™ power train delivers aggressive
performance.
Cat Engine
The Cat C3.4 engine delivers superior power to help you get more done.
Chassis/Undercarriage
Oscillating chassis helps assure four wheel ground contact for optimum traction and
stability. Heavy duty axles with outboard planetary reduction gears are built for durable
performance. Differential lock in both axles is standard and can be easily engaged on
the move to allow travel over poor underfoot conditions.
Two Speed Options
The Cat hydrostatic drive line offers two speed ranges: 20 km/h (12.4 mph) or 35 km/h
(21.7 mph). The optional speeder transmission provides a maximum speed of 35 km/h
(21.7 mph) using an optional two-speed gearbox. Both versions feature smooth inching
as standard. Optional speed (creeper) control, rimpull control and hand throttle are also
offered (transmission control upgrade).
Ride Control
The optional Ride Control system further enhances the already smooth road handling
of the machine, resulting in increased operator comfort and higher productivity. It is
suited for extreme applications where operators need to maintain bucket material load
or carry a heavy work tool and have a smooth ride. Three modes are available – auto,
on and off. Also recommended if the machine is equipped with the 35 km/h (21.7 mph)
speeder option.
Loader
Linkage
Optimal digging forces
with parallel lift.
Parallel Lift Z-Bar Design
The high performance Z-bar loader
design is built for strength and excellent
work tool visibility. The standard
skid steer loader style quick coupler
ensures maximum versatility. The Z-bar
linkage gives the operator a clear view
to the work tool and excellent dump
clearance while maintaining good
cycle times and parallel lift.
