Cat® Compact Track Loaders lead the industry in operator comfort, performance and versatility. Inside the spacious operator station, feel the superior comfort of a sealed and pressurized cab. Adjustable seat mounted controls and an available air ride seat keep you comfortable throughout the work day. Low ground pressures, increased rated operating capacities, higher horsepower and excellent drawbar performance help you get more
done and increase your bottom line.
Operator Station
Superior comfort to keep you productive throughout the work day.
Superior Comfort
Comfort and ease of operation have been designed into every aspect of the operator station. The wide, spacious interior and uncluttered floor provide a comfortable work environment with excellent head, shoulder and leg room to keep productivity high and help reduce fatigue.
Sealed and Pressurized Cab
Operators spend long hours in the machine. The new optional sealed and pressurized cab keeps dust out and clean air in for greater operator comfort. Reduced sound levels within the cab also help reduce fatigue.
Seat Mounted Joystick Controls
Ergonomic, seat mounted joystick controls enable a wide range of comfortable operating positions for operators of any size. The seat and controls are independently adjustable to meet the specific needs of the operator.
Advanced Machine Information and Control System
The optional Advanced Machine Information and Control System (AMICS) provides easy to read analog gauges for hydraulic oil and engine coolant temperature. The electronic display provides additional operating information such as engine speed, job clock and diagnostic service codes. This display also provides the user interface for the optional AccuGrade™ Grade Control System. The Selectable Work Speed Control, Selectable Implement Control and Selectable Hystat Response Control modes allow the operator to “dial in” his machine to maximize production.
Additional Features for Maximum Comfort
•Air ride seat available for an unparalleled level of comfort in a compact track loader.
•Easy to read instrument panels.
•Optional air conditioner and heater for greater comfort in extreme conditions.
•Optional Selectable Pattern Control which allows the operator to select the control pattern they are most familiar with for greater productivity.

Hydraulics
Exceptional lift, breakout and power to meet your needs.
High Performance Hydraulic System
Maximum power and reliability are built into the Cat Compact Track Loader hydraulic system. In addition to providing power to the tracks, this system also powers the loader lift and tilt functions, powers the auxiliary circuit to drive work tools and drives the engine cooling fan. The hydraulic system features increased lift and
tilt breakout forces allowing you to move more material and get more done.
The continuous demand fan provides improved fuel efficiency, increased horsepower, reduced sound levels and improved cold weather performance. Cat ToughGuard™ hoses increase reliability and durability. High capacity hydraulic tank and side-by- side cooling package keep components cool for maximum durability.
High Flow XPS
High flow XPS hydraulic system is available on all models for greater machine versatility. Maximum performance can be maintained regardless of the work tool speed or conditions with this load sensing, pressure compensating system. Cat cooling systems are sized to allow the operator to continuously power high flow work tools in conditions that cause competitive machines to overheat.
Selectable Implement Control
The Selectable Implement Control option with three levels of control gives the operator the ability to adjust the responsiveness and speed of the lift and tilt functions for more precise implement control.
Standard Two Speed
Two speed, offered as standard equipment, increases top speed up to 13.6 km/h (8.5 mph) allowing you to finish jobs faster.
Steel Embedded Rubber Track Undercarriage
Industry-first suspended undercarriage for versatility, durability, comfort.
Caterpillar introduces the industry’s first fully suspended undercarriage for a Compact Track Loader. The heavy-duty torsion axles suspend the CTL undercarriage and can move independently relative to the machine and each other. These axles absorb most of the shock to the undercarriage, machine and operator, especially over rough terrain. This means smooth travel, even at high speeds, as well as better load retention and greater productivity. The tread design ensures a smooth ride and a great combination of traction and flotation. The C Series 2 CTL offers ground pressures ranging from 29.5 kPa (4.3 psi) to 30.9 kPa (4.5 psi).
The CTL undercarriage system features highly durable and easily maintained components. Steel imbeds provide a rigid support for the entire width of the track and provide excellent durability in a wide variety of applications. Continuously
wound cables hold these imbeds in place and provide tensile strength, ensuring the track does not stretch. Following the same philosophy as Cat Track-Type Tractors, the elevated external positive drive system keeps drive components away from ground debris. Planetary final drive motors improve torque and drawbar performance, delivering more power to the ground. Steel rollers with metal face seals provide maximum protection for wheel bearings resulting in long-term durability and reliability in even the toughest conditions. The simple recoil grease tensioning system allows quick track tension adjustment.
