Designed for operator comfort, winches provide excellent controllability Full box sections, steel castings and convenience and productivity. [. . . ] The system is attached to an electrical linear actuator which allows the FTC module to be adjusted up and down. Fore/aft adjustment is controlled by a manual lever on the front of the control module. The rigidly mounted hand grip provides firm support for the operator. Machine direction is controlled by a pivoting knob which can be actuated by the thumb of the left hand. Rotating the knob up moves the machine forward. Rotating the knob down moves the machine in reverse. Gear selection is made by two buttons to the right of the machine direction knob. The top (up-shift) button shifts the machine transmission to the next higher gear while the (down-shift) button shifts to the next lower gear. This switch electronically locks the ECB system and transmission control. Finger Tip Control (FTC). Finger tip controls are clustered to the operator's left for easy one-handed operation, controlling steering, direction and gear selection. Electronic Clutch and Brake (ECB). Electronic clutch and brake steering system consists of two small levers which send signals that control the steering valve. · · levers require less then 1. 4 kg (3 lb) of pull to actuate. steering is similar to traditional clutch and brake arrangements but with less time and effort. ECB system allows the operator to work more precisely in close areas, around structures, obstacles, grade stakes or other machines. 8 Drive Train The drive train provides maximum efficiency in combination with the C15 engine with ACERT TM Technology. Electronic Clutch Pressure Control. The Finger Tip Control (FTC) system has an additional drive train feature for added performance, Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC). This feature provides smoother shifting by modulating individual clutches. ECPC also provides the auto-shift and auto-kickdown feature. The multi-disc, oil-cooled steering clutches are hydraulically applied and electronically controlled. The brakes are applied by springs and hydraulically released fro safe and reliable braking performance. As loads on the tractor increase, the 587T offers unmatched lugging capability and smooth shifting as the need occurs to change gears under varying loads. The 3-speed forward, 3-speed reverse transmission offers excellent runout speeds. The modular power train design permits quick removal and installation of major components such as the engine, transmission and final drives. Torque Divider. A high efficiency torque divider with freewheel stator provides high torque multiplication while shielding the drive train from sudden torque shocks and vibration. [. . . ] Allow for fast diagnosis of the power train, hydraulics and attachment oil systems. Scheduled Oil Sampling made easier through live sampling ports for the engine oil, hydraulics and coolant. Caterpillar Product Link PL300 (optional). This option allows the customer or dealer to obtain machine diagnostics and location information from their offices. Product Link PL300 provides updates on service meter hours, machine condition and machine location, as well as integrated mapping/route planning. [. . . ]
