New standard Eco Mode can saves fuel by reducing engine speed so the machine works in a more efficient range. Fuel savings is up to 10 percent, depending on the application.
Power Shift Countershaft Transmission is matched to the Cat engine to maximize power to the ground.
Engine Over-Speed Protection prevents downshifting until an acceptable safe travel speed has been established.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) transfers power to the ground as needed, allowing you to work more efficiently with mud, gravel, sand and snow. Increased traction reduces slippage across the cross slope.
Sealed spindle keeps front axle bearings lubricated and protected from contaminants. Cat “Live Spindle” design places the larger tapered roller bearing on the outside, where the load is greater, extending 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 provide dependable stopping power and longer life.

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION

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. The bearing is sealed preventing contamination and a locking pin prevents articulation during service or transport.
Drawbar, circle and moldboard are designed to make it easy for you to keep the components tight.
Shims and patented top-adjust wear strips are easy to add or replace, dramatically reducing downtime.
Nylon composite wear inserts maximize circle torque and component life.
Sacrificial brass 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 control.
With an aggressive blade angle, optimized moldboard curvature and large throat clearance, 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 provide greater moldboard reliability and long service life.
Link bar allows extreme moldboard positioning for easier bank sloping and ditch cutting/cleaning.

TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

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.
Cat Grade with Cross Slope is an optional, fully integrated, factory installed system that helps operators maintain desired cross slope by automatically controlling one side of the blade. System is job-ready from day one, and scalable for the future with upgrade kits that provide additional 2D and/or 3D control.
Attachment Ready Option can be ordered as a factory- or dealer-installed option. Includes built-in mounting points and internal wiring, to facilitate installation of grade control system.
Cat Grade uses positioning and guidance technologies, machine sensors, and automatic blade control to help operators get to grade faster, easier and more efficiently.
In-cab guidance gives operators detailed information to work confidently and achieve greater accuracy, in fewer passes, using less material.
Operators can stay on grade and improve productivity and accuracy by nearly 50 percent over conventional methods.
Grade stakes and checkers are minimized, helping to make the work site safer and more cost effective.
Grade technologies include Cross Slope, Sonic, Laser, GPS, and/or Universal Total Station (UTS).
