Operator Station
Superior comfort to keep you productive throughout the work day.
Comfortable Working Environment
Spacious and comfortable operator station with excellent 
visibility and legroom keeps the operator comfortable and 
reduces fatigue. Standard features include:
• 
Reclining suspension seat with adjustable wrist rests.
•
Pilot operated controls on all services including travel 
levers and dozer functions.
•
Two post canopy design for better visibility to the 
work area.
•
A pattern control changer (not available in all regions) 
is accessible from the cab to switch between excavator 
and backhoe style controls.
•
Ample storage space under the seat that can be locked 
for added security.
Optional Enclosed Cab
For even greater operator comfort, an enclosed cab 
is available as an option and features:
• 
Sealed cab with heat and optional air conditioning 
to keep you comfortable in a wide range of conditions.
•
Radio ready with speakers and easy radio installation.
•
Removable lower front window and sliding windows 
for excellent overall visibility.
•
Gas assisted front window slides up with minimal effort.
•
Sliding door system offers good access and maintains 
the machine’s compact dimensions, reducing the risk 
of damage.
Joystick Controls
The boom swing and auxiliary hydraulic functions are 
located at your fingertips providing smooth, easy operation. 
These joystick mounted controls deliver more productivity 
through precise movement of the boom swing and auxiliary 
functions. They also eliminate foot pedals and free up the 
floor for more room for the operator’s feet.
100% pilot controls provide consistent flow and pressure 
throughout the life of the machine. This also allows 
all controls to be locked out while starting the machine 
and when the safety lockout bar is in the up position.
