Hydrostatic Transmission Control
Seat-mounted controls improve productivity.
Speed and Direction Control
Speed, direction and steering are all controlled with a single, easy
to use joystick for less effort and lower fatigue so you can get
more done. The joystick controls direction and has three simple
detented positions for travel – forward, reverse and neutral.
With the machine in motion, simply move the joystick in the
direction you wish to move the machine. The more the joystick
is moved to the right or left, the tighter the turn. Regardless of
ground conditions, steering is consistent and predictable.
Infinitely Variable Speed Control
The speed control thumb wheel mounted on the joystick is used
to infinitely increase and decrease speed, letting the operator
select the optimum speed for ground and job conditions. It also
eliminates power interruption when changing speeds. A speed
recall button on the joystick is used to select pre-determined
speed settings.
Maneuverability
The power turn feature lets you handle large loads around
corners or through hard spots. Power turn capability improves
mobility in soft underfoot conditions and is very effective on
side slopes. Counter-rotation provides easy, quick maneuvering
in tight areas or congested job sites.
Engine
ACERT™ technology reduces
emissions, increases performance.
The Cat ® C4.4 is a 4.4 L (269 in 3 ) displacement, four cylinder,
inline configured engine equipped with a Caterpillar common
rail fuel system. It uses ACERT™ Technology, a series of
Caterpillar engineered innovations that provide advanced
electronic control, precision fuel delivery and refined air
management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower
emissions. It meets the U.S. EPA Tier 3, EU Stage IIIA
and Japan MOC Step 3 emissions standards.
The C4.4 delivers increased horsepower, outstanding
durability, reliability and improved response to change in
loads, delivering power when you need it. The engine is
more compact, allowing the cab to sit more forward – this
improves machine balance and provides greater operator
comfort. The engine and transmission control systems are
integrated to optimize performance and fuel efficiency.
