Expanded machine versatility.
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The AWD arrangement utilizes dedicated left and right
pumps for precise hydraulic control. The innitely variable
pumps and motors maximize torque in each gear delivering
the most power to the ground in the industry and increasing
productivity.
Maximum Net Power
When AWD is engaged, ywheel 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.
Theground speed is innitely variable between 0-8 km/h
(0-5 mph), perfect for precise nish 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.

Advanced Electro-Hydraulic System
Incorporates a state-of-the-art electro-hydraulic system as the foundation for revolutionary changes
inmachine and advanced joystick controls.
Blade Float
Allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By oating both cylinders, the blade can follow
the contours of the road, especially useful when removing snow. Floating only one cylinder permits the
toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator controls the slope with the other lift cylinder.
Independent Oil Supply
Large, separate hydraulic oil supplies prevent cross-contamination and provide proper oil cooling,
which reduces heat build-up and extends component life.
Load Sensing Hydraulics (PPPC)
The proven load-sensing system and the advanced Proportional Prioritized Pressure-Compensating
(PPPC or “triple P – C”) electro-hydraulic valves provide superior implement control and enhanced
machine performance in all applications. Continuously matching hydraulic ow/pressure to power
demands creates less heat and reduces power consumption.
• Consistent, Predictable Movement – PPPC valves have different ow rates for the head (red) and
rod ends (blue) of the cylinder, ensuring consistent extension and retraction speeds.
• Balanced Flow – Hydraulic ow is proportioned so all implements operate simultaneously with
little effect on the engine or implement speeds.
