Choices such as a standard undercarriage and a simplified ripper allow for lower initial purchase price options. Provides the weight and power you need to ensure good dozing and ripping performance. Equipped with the renowned Cat 3406C Engine and a mechanical transmission to ensure the required power and simplified maintenance. Comparisons with the D8T.
Because Productive Time Matters
Ease of maintenance with commonly available parts. Simple mechanical systems that are easy to diagnose, maintain, and repair, even in remote locations. Major modular components that facilitate maintenance and access for repairs. Large access doors and grouped maintenance points that reduce regular maintenance times. Individual radiator bundles that can be quickly replaced to facilitate maintenance operations. New exclusive Cat oil filters for the hydraulic circuit and powertrain that offer extended service intervals, saving time and money. Product Link™ telematics system that simplifies maintenance by tracking the location and operating hours of the machines. *Not available in all countries. Please contact your Cat dealer.
Designed to last
Caterpillar has designed drivetrain components that function as a single system to ensure reliability and performance. Cat mechanical planetary Powershift transmission, with durable and proven 3-speeds. The heavy structures provide a robust machine that withstands high impacts and torsional forces. The elevated Caterpillar track roller protects the drivetrain from shocks. The suspended undercarriage provides a smooth ride and improved traction on rough terrain.
Relentless work
Proven and exclusive Caterpillar differential coupler providing more power to the ground. The differential steering maintains full power on both tracks for unmatched maneuverability, even when the blade is fully loaded. The elevated drive design allows heavy components to be placed in the main chassis, providing a low center of gravity and excellent machine balance. The dedicated equipment pump ensures the availability of hydraulic power when you need it. The proven Advanced Modular Cooling System (AMOCS) provides cooling capacity and airflow that allows you to work in the most demanding environments.
Driver productivity
Choose between a cabin or canopy tractor, with an integrated rollover protection system (ROPS/FOPS) providing the driver with better visibility and increased safety. The simple handle control for direction and gear selection allows for easy use and precise control in tight spaces. Inside, the quiet cabin is pressurized to prevent dust penetration, creating a cleaner working environment. The easy-to-read analog display with machine status monitoring keeps the driver informed of machine operating conditions. Increased comfort with cabin air conditioning. Three lighting options to choose from, all with longer lifespan and brighter LED bulbs to effectively illuminate the work area.
Equipped for the tasks to be performed
The semi-universal blade (SU) gives you the required capacity to perform many different earthworks. Add a height extension and a wear plate to the blade for increased durability and longer lifespan. The various rear equipment options offer greater versatility: choose the single-tooth ripper, the rigid drawbar, the rear counterweights, or a dealer-mounted winch. A fixed ripper provides a simplified and lower-cost option. Choose a single-tooth ripper with a pin extractor to change the tooth position from the cabin.
Desert / Strong abrasion
Equip your tractor with factory features designed to improve machine performance in extremely sandy or abrasive soil conditions. The cooling system has been designed for particularly dusty environments, offering easy access for cleaning. Fan and radiator coating specially designed to resist abrasion. Beam protection grille. High-temperature liquid set. The watertight lower shield and additional seals prevent fine abrasive particles from entering the components. Optional wear plates can be replaced to increase blade lifespan in abrasive conditions.
Resistance to cold climates
For work in very cold climate areas, choose factory options that offer you extra starting capacity and superior component performance in polar climate regions. Cold climate batteries allow for greater starting power. The polar climate version of the undercarriage and top rollers features cold climate seals that provide superior protection. The polar climate lubricant provides a more fluid oil that allows for better lubrication in extreme conditions.
