Cat®C9. 3ACERTTMEngine The innovative Cat C9. 3 ACERT engine is optimized for maximum fuel efficiency and increased power density while meeting all Tier 4 Interim and Stage IIIB emissions requirements. Thereliability, durability, andversatilityoftheMD5125 resultinamachinethatisbetterbuilttomeetyour needs. Allday. Everyday. Reliability Structures Tested and Proven. Ready to Work. The K SeriesTM features many of the components designed and proven reliable over generations of product design. StrataPrecleaner The system removes 93% of the dust particles before the air has reached the primary engine air filter. As air enters the precleaner, stationary vanes cause the incoming air to spin. The resulting centrifugal force spins dust and dirt to the outer walls where they are ejected out into the exhaust stream, while the clean air flows down the center of the tube and continues into the primary air filter. The primary benefit is extended filter life. ColdStart/HighAltitudePackage A new optional cold start package includes a fan pump bypass, transmission pump bypass, additional battery capacity, and an engine heater plug/cord. The bypass systems reduce the parasitic load on the engine, while the additional battery capacity increases the cold cranking revolutions during startup. With the new optional cold start package available on K Series, starting capability has been dramatically improved in cold weather conditions. The system also improves starting capability at high altitudes. MonitoringPrograms Monitoring product health is key to maintaining reliability of any equipment.

A robust articulating hitch system joins the front and rear frames improving durability. Enhanced lines routings across the hitch joint streamline the manufacturing process and improve reliability and durability. Engine The new Cat C9. 3 ACERT engine was designed to optimize power density. It uses a combination of technologies to reduce regulated emissions while ensuring high performance and excellent fuel efficiency. An upgraded ADEMTM 4 electronic control module manages the combustion process and a new highpressure common rail fuel system allows precise injection timing for a clean, efficient fuel burn. The rugged Cat Clean Emissions Module is securely mounted on its own platform above the engine and contains a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, Diesel Particulate Filter and Cat Regeneration System. Regeneration, the process by which soot is removed from the Diesel Particulate Filter, is completely automatic and does not interrupt the machine's work cycle. Emissions The MD5125 features a Cat C9. 3 ACERT engine and a Cat Clean Emissions Module to deliver the performance and efficiency that customers demand, while meeting U. S. EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIB emissions requirements. The sixcylinder electronic engine is turbocharged and aftercooled. The displacement produces better lugging capability, lower internal stresses and longer component life. ACERTTM Technology is a combination of building blocks that includes electronics, fuel systems, air management systems and aftertreatment components. The system is optimized based on engine size, the type of application and the geographic location in which it will work. The technologies are applied systematically and strategically to meet high customer expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability and service life. Axles The MD5125 axles are designed to handle extreme applications resulting in reliable performance and extended life. The front axle is rigidly mounted to the frame in order to withstand internal torque loads and still maintain support for the wheel loader. The rear axle can oscillate to ±13 degrees helping to ensure all four wheels stay on the ground providing stability even in the roughest terrain. 4 Productivity Z-barLinkage Move More. All Day. Every Day. The proven Zbar linkage with Performance Series Buckets offer excellent penetration into the pile, high breakout forces, good roll back angles, and faster dig times. The results are improved tire life, superior fuel efficiency, and exceptional production capabilities; all helping to enable a sustainable solution for your business. LoadSensingHydraulics Load sensing hydraulics produce flow and pressure for the implement system upon demand and only in amounts necessary to perform the needed work functions, enhancing machine productivity and fuel efficiency. Implement controllability is improved through simultaneous implement operation and repeatable fine modulation, enabling greater operator comfort through ease of operation. RideControl Ride control provides the operator with a smoother ride over rough terrain, enabling a more comfortable ride at higher speeds. The benefit is reduced cycle times, higher productivity and better fuel efficiency while performing load and carry applications. The system works by using an accumulator to dampen the linkage motion, acting as a shock absorber. TorqueConverter The MD5125 torque converter is optimized to improve fuel efficiency and deliver more power to the ground. Transmission The K series transmissions incorporate a new clutch disc material, which enables a new shifting strategy that delivers smoother shifts, faster acceleration, and better performance climbing a grade. With the further enhancement to a torque based 2 to 1 downshift, owners and operators will fully benefit from utilizing the automatic 14 transmission mode; which results in lower fuel consumption and optimal machine performance. 5 Versatility Work Tool Options to Meet Your Needs WorkToolsforManyJobSiteRequirements An extensive range of work tools and bucket styles are available for the MD5125 to customize the machine for your operation. The list includes: Performance Series Buckets; Specialty Buckets (Multipurpose, Side Dump, Waste Handling, Woodchip); Pallet Forks, Log and Lumber Forks, Rakes (with or without top clamps); and Plows (angle or Vstyle). Each is available either with pin on or quick coupler interface. PerformanceSeriesBuckets: LoadEasy, FuelEfficient, CarryMore Performance Series Buckets utilize a systembased approach to balance bucket shape with the machine's linkage, weight, lift and tilt capacities. Operators benefit from reduced dig times and better material retention; ultimately translating into significant productivity and fuel efficiency improvements. LowerOperatingCosts Performance Series Buckets feature a longer floor that easily digs through the pile and provides excellent visibility for the operators to see when the bucket is full. Less time digging in the pile results in lower fuel consumption and improved tire life. A unique spill guard protects the cab and linkage components from material overflow. HigherProductivity Performance Series Buckets achieve higher fill factors ­ ranging from 100% to 115% depending on the machine application and material type. The buckets feature optimized geometry with a bucket opening matched to the machine's linkage and incorporate a curved side profile to maximize material retention. The optimized design results in unsurpassed production capabilities. PerformanceSeriesBucketStyles Performance Series Buckets are available for General Purpose, Material Handling, Rock, Heavy Duty Rock and Coal style buckets. 6 Fusion Quick Coupler ImprovedMachinePerformance FusionTM is the patented wheel loader coupler system from Caterpillar. The Fusion Coupler System provides performance virtually identical to pin on ­ with all the flexibility of a quick coupler system. The Fusion Coupler sits back, closein to the loader arms ­ minimizing offset and increasing the machine's performance. NoLossofPerformance Imagine lifting a hundred pound box with your arms fully extended. Now imagine lifting that same load close to your body. That's the genius of Fusion: designed to integrate the work tool and the machine by pulling the coupler and tool closer in to the loader. As a result, the center of gravity is moved inward, towards the machine. This translates to increased lifting ability when compared to machines equipped with other coupler systems. UnsurpassedDurability An advanced wedging mechanism creates a tight, rattle free fit. This patented lock up system eliminates play and wear ­ resulting in a long service life. Wedges pull the attachment tight to the machine in two directions ­ in and down. Constant hydraulic pressure on the coupler wedges compensate for wear, assuring a tight fit through the life of the coupler. Tight fit gives better tool control and increased productivity. Coupler durability is substantially increased over traditional couplers. FusionTM eliminates coupler offset. . .
