Monitoring System
Caterpillar D10R Monitoring System has 3 display sections.
Throttle
Throttle rocker switch replaces the throttle lever, simplifying operation.
Implement Control Lever Restraints
Implement control lever restraints, when engaged, prevent inadvertent movement of control lever.
Throttle
A rocker switch replaces the throttle lever, simplifying operation.
Electronic Steering and Transmission Controls
Combines steering, machine direction and gear selection into a control system which can be operated with one hand for enhanced operator comfort and increased productivity.
Finger Tip Controls (FTC)
Finger Tip Controls (FTC) are clustered for easy, one-handed operation to the operator's left.
Steering
Electronic Clutch and Brake (ECB) steering system consists of two small levers which send signals that control the steering valve.
Allows Precise Work
ECB System allows the operator to work more precisely in close areas, around structures, obstacles, grade stakes, other machines or on fine grades.
Operator Comfort
Adjustable operator comfort.
Machine Direction
Machine direction is controlled by a pivoting knob which can be actuated by the thumb of the left hand.
Gear Selection
Gear selection is made by two buttons to the right of the machine direction knob.
Parking Brake

Structures
Engineered to provide durability and the solid support necessary for maximum production and service life.
Mainframe
Mainframe strength. The D10R mainframe is built to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces.
Frame Rails
Frame rails are full box section, designed to keep components rigidly aligned.
Steel Castings
Heavy steel castings give added strength to the main case, equalizer bar saddle, front cross member and tag-link trunnion.
Durability
The top and bottom rails are continuous rolled sections, with no machining or welding to provide superior mainframe durability.
Final Drives
The main case elevates the final drives well above the ground level work area to protect them from impact loads, abrasion and contaminants.
Track Roller Frame Alignment
A pivot shaft and pinned equalizer bar maintain track roller frame alignment.
Tag-link Construction
Tag-link construction brings the blade closer to the machine for more precise dozing and load control.
Tag-link Design
Tag-link design provides solid lateral stability and better cylinder positions for constant pryout independent of blade height.
Undercarriage
The Caterpillar elevated sprockets are designed for better machine balance and component life.
Design
Suspended undercarriage design absorbs impact loads to reduce the shock loads transferred to the undercarriage.
Suspension
Bogie suspension conforms more closely to the ground to provide more ground contact, especially in hard, uneven terrain.
