RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

Cat® C7.1 engine offers a combination of proven electronic, fuel, and air systems.
Utilizing rigorous component design and machine validation processes results in unmatched reliability, durability and high uptime.

LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY

Tough countershaft powershift transmission and axles handle extreme applications effectively.
Improved hydraulic hose routing reduces potential hose wear.
Full flow hydraulic filtration system with additional loop filtration improves hydraulic system robustness and component life.

BUILT TO PERFORM

Engine power increased by approximately 10% improves machine performance and response (compared to H Series).
Lock-up clutch torque converter, combined with lock-to-lock shifting, delivers smooth shifts, fast acceleration and speed on grade.
High capacity torque converter results in greater digging efficiency.
Z-bar linkage provides high breakout force at ground level.
Optional high lift linkage offers increased hinge pin height to load more easily in a variety of applications.
Easy-to-load Performance Series Buckets feature a wider mouth and curved side plates that improve material retention (fill factor) and decrease cycle times.
Optional fully automatic traction control system (differential locks) improves performance in the pile and poor underfoot conditions.

DO MORE WITH LESS FUEL

Up to 10% lower fuel consumption than H Series.*
Power dense engine burns less fuel by providing power and torque when needed.
Performance Series Buckets feature a longer floor that easily digs through the pile resulting in lower fuel consumption.
Load sensing hydraulics result in proportional flow for implement and steering on demand.
Standard productive Economy Mode provides maximum fuel savings with minimal productivity impact.

* Actual results may vary based on factors such as, but not limited to, machine configuration, operator technique, machine application, climate, etc.
