DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS

  • Good visibility is key to safety and efficiency. Angled cab doors, tapered engine enclosure and a sloped rear window make it easy to see the moldboard and tires, as well as behind the machine. Optional rear vision camera further enhances lines of sight all around the machine.
  • Experience the most spacious, comfortable cab in the industry.
  • Easy-to-learn joystick controls replace levers, so hand and arm movement is reduced by 78%, helping reduce operator fatigue for better productivity.
  • Left joystick controls steering, articulation, return-to-center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard lift cylinder and float.
  • Right joystick controls drawbar, circle and moldboard functions as well as electronic throttle control and manual differential lock/unlock.
  • Joystick lean angle mirrors the steer tires' turning angle.
  • A brake tensioning system holds the joystick in position until the operator moves it.
  • Steering control automatically reduces sensitivity at higher ground speeds for predictable control.
  • Infinitely variable roller switches control the rear ripper and/or front lift group (when equipped).
  • Control switches are in easy reach.
  • Updated seat offers softer cushions, three-position tilt and optional heated and heated/cooled cushions.
  • Control pods are electronically positioned allowing each operator to set the ideal operating position.
  • Multiple isolation mounts reduce sound and vibration for a more relaxed work environment.
  • High capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and keeps windows clear.
  • An optional deluxe radio with CD features MP3 and Bluetooth® technology.
  • New Message Display shows machine performance and diagnostic information. Located in center console, it also displays Grade Control Cross Slope readings.
  • Electronic Throttle Control helps improve productivity by providing the best match of horsepower and torque for the demands of the application.
  • Articulation Return-to-Center automatically returns the machine to a straight frame position from any angle with the touch of a button.
  • Select Fine, Normal or Coarse blade lift modulation to best fit application or operator preference.

PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY

  • Cat C9.3 engine delivers the performance needed to maintain consistent grading speeds for maximum productivity.
  • Latest engine technology optimize productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability, life and minimize emissions.
  • Hydraulic demand fan automatically adjusts speed according to engine cooling requirements. When cooling demand is reduced, you benefit from more power to the ground and improved fuel efficiency.
  • Engine Idle Shutdown Timer is software-enabled by your Cat dealer to shut down the engine after a set period of time to save you fuel and help reduce emissions.
  • Optional Reversing Fan, clears debris on-the-go.
  • TheMotor Graders give you efficiency and longevity in your most demanding applications.
  • Standard Automatic Differential Lock/Unlock unlocks the differential during a turn and re-locks when straight for easier operation and to help protect the power train.
  • Full Electronic Clutch Pressure Control system optimizes inching modulation for smooth shifts and directional changes, reducing stress on gears.
  • Programmable AutoShift option simplifies operation by allowing the operator to program the transmission to shift at optimal points to match your application.
  • Eco Mode can be engaged for up to 10% fuel savings depending upon application.
  • Power Shift Countershaft Transmission is matched to the Cat engine to maximize power to the ground.
  • Wide operating gear range for maximum productivity.
  • Engine Over-Speed Protection prevents downshifting until an acceptable safe travel speed has been established.
  • Sealed spindle keeps front axle bearings lubricated and protected from contaminants. The Cat “Live Spindle” design places the larger tapered roller bearing on the outside, where the load is greater, extending bearing life.
  • Bolt-on modular rear axle improves serviceability and contamination control with easy access to differential components.
  • Oil-bath, multi-disc service brakes are hydraulically actuated for smooth, predictable braking and lower operating costs. Brakes are located at each tandem wheel and have a large total brake surface area to give you dependable stopping power and longer life.
  • Emissions technology is transparent with no action required from the operator or need to stop. Regeneration runs automatically at cold start-up and, if needed, in the background while you work.
  • Reaching Tier 4 Final standards only required one additional system to the proven Cat emission strategy - Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
  • SCR utilizes Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), conveniently filled from ground level when re-fueling.
  • A gauge on the dash shows your fluid level.
  • At shutdown, a pump automatically purges the DEF lines.
  • If the engine/aftertreatment temperatures are high, a Delayed Engine Shutdown will activate automatically to cool the machine and then purge the lines.

BUILT FOR LONG TERM PRODUCTION

  • Caterpillar designs motor grader frame and drawbar components to give you performance and durability.
  • The one-piece forged steel circle stands up to high stress loads, and a sacrificial wear system helps keep your service time and costs down.
  • Articulation hitch features a large tapered roller bearing to carry loads evenly and smoothly. It is sealed to prevent contamination and a locking pin prevents articulation during service or transport.
  • The drawbar, circle and moldboard make it easy for you to keep the components tight.
  • Shims and patented top-adjust wear strips are easy to add or replace, reducing downtime.
  • Durable nylon composite wear inserts maximize circle torque and component life.
  • Wear strips between the blade mounting group and moldboard can be easily adjusted and replaced.
  • Shim less Moldboard Retention System uses vertical and horizontal adjusting screws to keep moldboard wear strips aligned for reduced blade chatter and precise blade control.
  • An aggressive blade angle, optimized moldboard curvature and large throat clearance help you work more efficiently by allowing material to roll more freely along the blade.
  • Heat-treated rails, hardened cutting edges and end bits, and heavy duty bolts to give you greater moldboard reliability and long service life.
  • Link bar allows extreme moldboard positioning for easier bank sloping and ditch cutting/cleaning.
  • Proven load-sensing hydraulic system and advanced electro-hydraulics give you superior implement control and responsive performance that makes operator's jobs easier. Continuously matching hydraulic flow/pressure to power demands creates less heat and reduces power consumption.
  • Consistent, Predictable Movement - Proportional Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPP-C) valves have different flow rates for the head and rod ends of the cylinder, so you can count on consistent, predictable implement response.
  • Balanced Flow - Hydraulic flow is proportioned to give you confidence that all implements will operate simultaneously without slowing the engine or speed of some implements.
  • Blade can float freely under its own weight. By floating both cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the ground. Floating only one cylinder permits the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator controls the slope with the other lift cylinder.
  • Large, separate hydraulic oil supplies prevent cross-contamination and provide proper oil cooling, reducing heat build-up and extending component life.
  • Cat XT™ hose allows high pressures for maximum power and reduced downtime.

Easy access to timely information like machine location, hours, fuel usage, idle time and event codes via the online VisionLink user interface helps effectively manage fleet and lower operating costs.
  3. Grade technologies combine digital design data, in-cab guidance, and automatic blade controls to enhance grading accuracy, reduce rework, and lower costs related to production earthmoving and rough, fine and finish grade applications.
  4. Cat GRADE with Cross Slope is an optional, factory installed system that helps improve grading efficiency and more easily maintain accurate cross slopes. The system automatically controls one side of the blade, reducing manual operator inputs by as much as 50 percent. Experienced operators can maintain peak efficiency levels throughout more of the work day, while less experienced operators can be more productive faster. The system is job-ready from day one, and scalable for the future with upgrade kits that provide additional 2D and/or 3D control.

BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

  • Operator Presence Monitor keeps the parking brake engaged and hydraulic implements disabled until the operator is seated and the machine is ready for operation.
  • Speed Sensitive Steering lessens steering sensitivity as ground speed increases for greater operator confidence and control.
  • Secondary Steering System's electric hydraulic pump automatically engages in case of a drop in steering pressure to ensure operator can steer the machine to a stop.
  • Hydraulic lockout disables all implement functions while still providing machine steering control. Especially useful while roading.
  • Brakes are located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking loads on the power train. Redundant brake systems utilize accumulators to enable stopping in case of machine failure.
  • Perforated steel tandem walkways and convenient grab rails provide a sturdy platform when moving on, off and around the machine.
  • Circle Drive Slip Clutch protects the drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads if the blade encounters an immovable object and also reduces the possibility of abrupt directional changes in poor traction conditions.
  • Blade Lift Accumulators help absorb impact loads by allowing vertical blade travel. This optional feature reduces wear and impact loading for enhanced operator safety.
  • Safety Features -
  1. Optional rearview camera with in-cab monitor
  2. New, optional seat belt indicator light reminds operator to fasten safety belt
