[. . . ] In applications such as production trenching, speed is important and the system will match the flow needed to get the job done quickly and efficiently. The load-sensing hydraulic system also delivers: · · · · A cooler hydraulic system Better fuel efficiency Quieter operation Reduced wear on components
Cat XTTM-3 ES ToughGuardTM hoses combined with Cat couplings and O-ring face seal fittings provide a leak-free system. The CM230 also features new flow-sharing hydraulic valves, ensuring proportional flow of oil to all hydraulic cylinders, providing greater control and improving multifunction performance.
Ride Control
Delivers even greater operator comfort.
The optional Ride Control System smoothes the ride in all conditions, including load and carry, highway roading, or simply moving around the job site. It reduces machine loping, providing a smooth and stable ride for increased operator comfort and reduced operator fatigue. [. . . ] Axles feature outboard planetary gear sets for easy serviceability and brake design improvements for longer service life.
· ·
Brake Mode Selector
The brake mode selector switch has three positions: two wheel drive, two wheel drive with all wheel braking and four wheel drive. Two wheel drive with all wheel braking provides better tire life while roading and engages the front axle when brakes are applied for improved braking performance.

Backhoe
Designed for high performance and easy service.
The E-Series backhoe delivers industry-leading digging forces. Serrated edges on the stick provide improved material clamping for clearing and demolition applications. The single pin bucket linkage contributes to best-in-class rotation of 205 degrees for all applications.
E-Stick Design
The optional extendible stick (E-stick) increases reach and dig depth by approximately 1. 2 meters (4 feet). The new design delivers increased life and easy in-field adjustment with common hand tools.
Curved Boom
The excavator-style boom is built for optimum performance and durability. The curved design provides additional clearance over obstacles while digging a trench or truck loading. The narrow boom enhances the viewing area to the bucket and trench throughout the entire operating range.
Thumbs
Thumb mounting provisions are standard on every Cat Backhoe Loader for added machine versatility. Hydraulic thumbs are available factory-installed. Mechanical thumbs are available through your Cat Dealer.
Loader
Strong lift and breakout.
Single Tilt
The standard single tilt loader linkage on the CM230 features strong lift and breakout forces for solid performance in backfilling and truck loading applications. The CM230 is equipped with either a general purpose or multi-purpose pin-on bucket to meet your specific needs.
Return-to-Dig
The return-to-dig system reduces loading cycle times by bringing the loader bucket back to the dig position with an easy pull of the lever. By the time the loader bucket is at ground level, the bucket is angled correctly for the next load or cut.
