Dash The Generation II wrap-around dash puts all controls within easy reach of the operator. Featuring LED illuminated rocker switches, large LCD display and a rear wash wipe rocker switch. It provides an automotive feel with the industrial strength you would expect from Caterpillar. Viewing Area The low sloping hood and placement of the cooling package behind the cab give the operator excellent all-around visibility. The large glass area and central operator position also provide excellent visibility. Wipers The wet arm wiper system cleans more glass area and is bottom-mounted to keep it out of the operator's line of sight. Windows are tinted to reduce glare. Differential Lock Controls The inter-axle differential lock can be engaged/disengaged "on-the-go" by using a raised switch incorporated into the drivers foot rest, for ease of operation. For 100% lock up, all three cross-axle differential locks act in unison with the interaxle differential lock when the foot switch is activated and a dash mounted switch is selected. Disengaging the foot switch opens all differential locks immediately. Transmission and Hoist Levers The hoist lever provides easy, comfortable operation. The transmission lever offers excellent comfort, and control for top gear limit, transmission hold and neutral lock. Suspended Pedals Easy to operate and reach with plenty of leg and foot room. They also make for easier cleaning of the cab floor by keeping the pedals out of the dirt. Cat 2S Monitoring System Provides an improved method of monitoring critical machine functions and alerts the operator to an immediate or impending problem. Safety is an integral part of all machines and system designs.

The PF3 is an excellent match for the Cat 345D, 336D and 329D Hydraulic Excavators; and Cat 972H, 966H, 962H and 950H Wheel Loaders. This results in increased production and lower system costs per unit of volume moved. 14 Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull To determine performance, read from Gross Weight down to % Total Resistance. Total Resistance equals actual % grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest attainable speed range.
