Durability

• Specialized guarding throughout the machine helps protect major components like the chassis, fuel tank and hydraulic tank from impact and airborne debris.

• Multi-layer final drive guards, including a labyrinth-style guard with 90-degree turns, help keep dirt and debris away from the Duo-Cone™ seal to protect final drive oil.

• Pivot shaft seal guards help prevent debris from entering and damaging seals.

• Striker bars help prevent debris from damaging the machine, and added seals help reduce the amount of material entering engine and transmission compartments.

• Tilt cylinder with rotating bushing type design help wrapping materials to roll off hoses.

• Heavy duty hinged radiator guard protects radiator and fan from penetration by material coming straight in or from under the blade.

• Cooling system designed for high debris environments, with automatic reversing fan and swing-out access for cleanout.

• Laminated thermal shields and insulated Clean Emissions Module.

• Hinged belly guard for easy cleaning.

• Landfill blades and center-hole track shoes help you optimize your waste handler for the job.

• Lights mounted up and away from main debris area for protection, while still giving you plenty of light on the work area.

 

Performance

• New, fully automatic four-speed lock-up clutch transmission continuously optimizes gear and engine speed for the application without added operator input.

• Added gear between first and second, and seamless lock-up clutch engagement, for exceptionally smooth shifting.

• Full-time Auto Shift for significantly better fuel efficiency with less operator effort – without sacrificing performance.

• Up to 20 percent more fuel efficient* – as much as 30 percent better in lighter load applications.

• Sustainable: fuel savings reduces CO2 production by an average of approximately 16.6 metric tons (17.7 tons) per year.

*Compared to previous model.

Cat Connect Technology

• Automatically maintain established blade position with Cat GRADE with Slope Assist (Standard). Finish jobs faster, with better surface quality and significantly less operator effort. No additional hardware required.
