Maximum Control, Maximum Comfort
Caterpillar has built the most comfortable cab in the industry, replacing the control levers and steering wheel with two joystick controls, and lengthening the cab for more leg room. Machine design features, like angled doors, provide excellent visibility.
Operator Comfort
The Cat® Comfort Series suspension seat and arm/wrist rests are fully adjustable for improved comfort and productivity. Extra leg room, easy-to-reach long-life rocker switches and revolutionary joystick controls make this the most comfortable cab in the industry.
Standard HVAC system
The high capacity system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and keeps windows clear.
Low Interior Sound and Vibration Levels
Multiple isolation mounts along with relocated hydraulic pump and valves significantly improve operator comfort and productivity.
In-Dash Instrument Cluster
Easy-to-read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps keep the operator aware of critical system information.

Steering and Implement Controls
Unprecedented precision and ease of operation.
Ease of Operation
Two electro-hydraulic joysticks require up to 78% less hand and wrist movement than conventional lever controls for greatly enhanced operator comfort and efficiency. The intuitive control pattern allows both new and experienced operators to quickly become productive.
Joystick Functions
Optimum control at your fingertips: · The left joystick primarily controls the machine direction and speed including steering, articulation, return-to-center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard lift cylinder and float. [. . . ] The front 240° of circle teeth are hardened to reduce wear and ensure component reliability.
Articulation Hitch
A large tapered roller bearing at the lower pivot carries loads evenly and smoothly. Sealed to prevent contamination, a locking pin prevents articulation for safety during service or transport.
Aggressive Blade Angle
Allows material to roll more freely along the blade, particularly dry materials or cohesive soils. Better material control gets the job done faster, requires less power and saves fuel.
Fast, Easy Adjustment Means Tight Components
Shims and patented top-adjust wear strips are easy to add or replace, dramatically reducing downtime and operating costs. Durable nylon composite wear inserts maximize circle torque and component life. Sacrificial brass wear strips between the blade mounting group and moldboard can be replaced easily. Shimless Moldboard Retention System uses vertical and horizontal adjusting screws to keep moldboard wear strips aligned for reduced blade chatter, precise blade control and dramatic reductions in service time.
Moldboard
Heat-treated rails, hardened cutting edges and end bits, and heavy duty bolts assure reliability and long service life. The link bar allows extreme moldboard positioning for bank sloping, ditch cutting and cleaning.

All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
Expanded machine versatility.
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The AWD arrangement utilizes dedicated left and right pumps for precise hydraulic control. The infinitely variable pumps and motors maximize torque in each gear. This delivers the most power to the ground in the industry and increases productivity.
Maximum Net Power
When AWD is engaged, flywheel horsepower is automatically increased by an additional 41 kW (55 hp) compared to the rear drive model. This offsets the parasitic losses and maximizes net power to the ground for increased productivity.
Hydrostatic Mode
Standard with AWD, this mode disengages the transmission and provides hydraulic power to the front wheels only. The ground speed is infinitely variable between 0-8 km/h (0-5 mph), perfect for precise finish work.
Steering Compensation
Cat Steering Compensation System enables a "powered turn" by adjusting the outside front tire speed up to 50% faster than the inside tire. The result is improved control, less damage to surfaces and a dramatic reduction of turning radius in poor underfoot conditions.
8
Hydraulics
Advanced machine control.
Advanced Electro-Hydraulic System
Incorporates a state-of-the-art electro-hydraulic system as the foundation for revolutionary changes in machine and advanced joystick controls.
Blade Float
Allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By floating both cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the road, especially useful when removing snow. · The optional Cat AccuGradeTM System automatically controls the blade, improving operator efficiency and productivity. AccuGrade technology reduces the need for traditional survey stakes or grade checkers, so you can reach grade faster and in fewer passes. The AccuGradeTM Attachment Ready Option provides additional mounting brackets, cab controls and electrical harnesses for easy installation of Cross Slope, Sonic, Laser, GPS or ATS electronics kits.
·
AccuGradeTM Attachment Ready Option
The AccuGrade System is fully integrated into the machine design, making installation quick and easy. Integral hydraulic and electrical components are standard on the M Series 2 (Grade Control Ready). The AccuGrade Attachment Ready Option provides additional mounting brackets, cab controls and electrical harnesses for easy installation of the Cross Slope, Sonic, Laser, GPS or ATS electronics kits.
Automatic Engine Deration
Protects the engine by automatically lowering engine torque output and alerting the operator if critical conditions are detected.

Work Tools and Attachments
Equip your machine for the job.
Moldboard Options
Standard 3. 7 m (12 ft) or optional 4. 3 m (14 ft). Left side extensions are also available.
Ground Engaging Tools (GET)
A variety of tools are available from Cat Work Tools, including cutting edges, graderbits and end bits, all designed for maximum service life and productivity.
Front Mounted Groups
A front mounted push plate/counterweight or front lift group are available. The front lift group can be combined with a front dozer blade or front scarifier for added versatility.
Rear Ripper/Scarifier
Made to penetrate tough material fast and rip thoroughly for easier movement with the moldboard. [. . . ] · For a complete list of tire options, contact your local Cat dealer.
