Implement and Steering Controls
Ergonomically designed for ease of operation
Dozer Control Lever
A low-effort electronic dozer control handle gives the
operator control of all dozer functions with one hand.
Fore/aft movement of the control handle lowers and raises
the blade. Left/right movement directionally tilts the blade.
Blade response and blade float can be set/adjusted using the
Advisor System.
The thumb lever at the top of the handle and trigger switch
controls blade pitch fore and aft when equipped with dual tilt.
Dual tilt also provides automated blade assist control capability.
Electronic Ripper Control
A rigidly mounted handgrip provides firm support for
the operator even when ripping in the roughest terrain.
The low effort thumb lever controls raising and lowering.
The finger lever controls shank-in and shank-out positioning.
Performance Monitor
The monitoring system collects machine data and provides
real-time feedback on machine productivity to optimize
performance. Data summaries can be sent to off-board tools
for site managers to review.
Terrain for Grading (optional)
Provides high precision management of dozing and grading
applications for enhanced safety, productivity and efficiency.
The system enables an electronic site plan to be sent to the
machine from the office in real-time, directing the operator
where to cut and fill.
Automatic Ripper Control (optional)
A new feature that reduces operator fatigue and decreases
wear and tear on the machine. This is done by monitoring
the tractor ground speed with the new cab mounted Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to automatically adjust
engine speed and ripper depth to minimize track slip.
Autocarry (optional)
Enhances operators productivity by coninuously monitoring
ground speed and automatically adjusts blade load.
Cat Grade Control (optional)
Integrates traditional machine control and guidance with
machine hardware and software to help improve productivity,
usability, reliability and value.
Cat Grade Control software is enhanced to not only
automatically guide the blade to the desired design contours,
but also integrated with Autocarry to sense and automatically
control the load of the blade for improved performance and
efficient blade loading in high production dozing applications.
