Compare ModelsBETTER COMFORT AND CONTROL
- Visibility is key to your safety, efficiency and quality of work. The motor grader delivers with 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 camera further enhances lines of sight.
- The most comfortable cab in the industry.
- Joystick controls reduce hand and arm movement by 78%, which helps to lower operator fatigue.
- Easy-reach rocker and control switches
- Standard Cat Comfort Series suspension seat.
- Control pods adjust electronically - easy to set ideal operating position.
- Isolation mounts reduce sound and vibration for more relaxed 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.
- Optional deluxe radio with CD features MP3 and Bluetooth technology.
- In-dash instrument cluster houses easily read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps keep you aware of critical system information.
- Two electro-hydraulic joysticks make operation easy and comfortable. Adjustable control pods ensure they are positioned for optimal comfort, visibility and operation.
- Joystick Functions -
- 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.
- Brake tensioning system holds the joystick in position until the operator moves it.
- Steering control automatically reduces steering sensitivity at higher ground speeds for predictable control.
- Infinitely variable roller switches control the rear ripper and/or front lift group (when equipped).
- Proven load-sensing and advanced electro-hydraulics give you superior implement control and responsive hydraulic performance that makes operators' jobs easier.
- Continuously matching hydraulic flow/pressure to power demands reduces heat and optimizes power.
- 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.
- Hydraulic flow is proportioned to give you confidence that all implements operate simultaneously without slowing engine or implement speed.
- Blade Float allows the blade to move freely under its own weight.
- Float both cylinders, to allow blade can follow the contours of the ground.
- Float one cylinder to permit the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator controls slope with the other cylinder.
- Large, independent hydraulic oil supplies prevent cross-contamination and provide proper cooling, reducing heat build-up and extending component life.
- Cat XT™ hose allows high pressures for maximum power and reduced downtime.
- Articulation Return-to-Center automatically returns the machine to a straight frame position from any angle with the touch of a button.
- Choose the blade lift modulation mode that best fits your application or operating style: fine, normal, or coarse.
