953K Track Loaders

Save money and transport time with one machine for land clearing, digging, grading, truck loading, slope work and more. With track loaders you get lower ground pressure and better traction so you can start earlier and work longer in soft underfoot conditions. Cat® Track Loaders bring you all of this, plus improved performance and fuel efficiency.

Net Power - Rated - ISO 9249 (DIN) 156 hp
Emissions U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV/Korea Tier 4 Final or China Nonroad Stage III, India Bharat III, Eurasian Economic Union Stage IIIA, UN ECE R96 Stage IIIA emission standards, equivalent to Tier 3/Stage IIIA
Note (1) All nonroad Tier 4 Interim and Final, Stage IIIB and IV and Korea Tier 4 Final diesel engines are required to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) with 15 ppm (mg/kg) of sulfur or less, or up to B20 biodiesel blended with ULSD. B20 should meet ASTM D7467 specification (biodiesel blend stock should meet Cat biodiesel spec, ASTM D6751 or EN 14214). Cat DEO-ULS™ or oils that meet the Cat ECF-3, API CJ-4, and ACEA E9 specification are required. Consult your OMM for further machine specific fuel recommendations.
Note (2) Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) used in Cat Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems must meet the requirements outlined in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 22241.

Features

DO MORE WITH LESS FUEL

  • 953K uses 10-25 percent less fuel per hour than the previous model.
  • Optional Performance Series bucket helps you move up to 10 percent more material per hour.
  • Efficient use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid*– typically 2.5-3 percent of fuel consumption – provides excellent overall fluid efficiency.

    * Machine equipped with U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV emissions reduction technology.

BUILT TO PERFORM

  • Smoother implement and steering response, and improved steering performance over the previous model.
  • Features like load sensing hydraulics and position sensing cylinders offer precise, responsive performance.
  • Cat C7.1 engine delivers power and fast response when the machine is under load.
  • Reduced engine noise – quieter for the operator and others around the work site.

EXPAND YOUR CAPABILITIES

  • Steel track undercarriage allows you to work in wet, soft, or sensitive underfoot conditions.
  • Finish jobs in less time – track loaders can often start the job earlier and work longer than other machines due to their lower ground pressure and increased traction.
  • Quick Coupler Ready – Fusion™ Quick Coupler option allows easy use of forks, buckets, etc. from wheel loaders and other Fusion compatible machines.

EASY TO OPERATE

  • Choose either joystick or two-lever implement controls to match operator preference or application.
  • Speed/steering controls available as either a joystick or as v-lever and foot pedals.
  • Updated cab offers operator comforts like suspension seat, adjustable armrests and controls, and an improved air conditioning system.
  • Excellent visibility to the bucket and all around the machine enhances safety and helps operators work more confidently.
  • Handles and steps help operators climb on and off the machine more easily, from the front or the back of the tracks.
  • Set implement response – fine, normal, coarse – to match operator preference or application.
  • Emissions reduction technology is designed so regeneration runs automatically in the background while you work.

SAVE ON MAINTENANCE TIME

  • Integrated diagnostics show operators on-board pressure readings for faster service.
  • Tilt cab and convenient service access points for easier maintenance and repair.
  • Demand fan provides efficient cooling plus easy fold-down service access.
  • Remote monitoring with Product Link™/VisionLink® helps you manage your fleet more effectively and profitably.
