Operator Station
Industry leading cab design gives you unmatched comfort, visibility and ease of use, so your operators can be more confident and productive.
Structures, Drawbar, Circle and Moldboard
Durable structures with fast and simple DCM adjustments save you service time. Shims and wear strips save you money and make it easy to maintain factory tightness of components for better grading results.
Hydraulics
Load sensing, proportional hydraulics mean operators can rely on consistent power. This precise, predictable implement response will save time and help assure quality work.
Integrated Technologies
Grade control and machine monitoring technologies help you improve grading efficiency and enhance fleet management for improved machine utilization.
Safety
The safety of your operators and those on the job site is key in the design of every Cat® machine. Features like outstanding visibility, hydraulic lockout and redundant steering and braking systems help you meet your goals of getting everyone home safely at the end of each work day.
All Wheel Drive (AWD)

If you work in soft underfoot conditions where traction can be a challenge, optional All Wheel Drive (AWD) can give you the additional power to the ground you need to work more efficiently in mud, gravel, sand or snow. The added traction helps reduce sliding on side slopes.
- Dedicated left and right pumps give you more precise hydraulic control. The infinitely variable pumps and motors maximize torque in each gear.
- AWD automatically increases horsepower to maximize your power to the ground.
- Standard Hydrostatic Mode disengages the transmission and provides hydraulic power to the front wheels only. Infinitely variable ground speed between 0-8 km/h (0-5 mph) is ideal for precise finish work.
- Cat Steering Compensation System enables a "powered turn" by adjusting the outside front tire speed up to 50% faster than the inside tire. This gives you improved control, reduces surface damage and greatly reduces turning radius in poor underfoot conditions.
