Compact Radius, Zero Tail Swing
Work in the tightest areas
Compact Radius
The compact radius design gives greater machine versatility and the
capability to work within conned areas. This allows the operator to
concentrate on the work being done without having to worry about
damaging the back of the machine or other job site obstacles. On the
305E CR and the 305.5E CR, the upper body stays within 140 mm (5.5 in)
ofthe undercarriage.
Zero Tail Swing
New to the E Series, the 303.5E CR and the 304E CR models feature a zero
tail swing design. On these models, the radius of the upper body stays
entirely within the width of the undercarriage.

Undercarriage Stability and Durability
Rubber Track – The standard rubber track lets you work on multiple surfaces such as grass, pavement or stone without damaging
thesurface or machine.
Steel Track Option – Optional steel track is available for harsh conditions such as demolition. The extra weight of the steel tracks
generally provides better stability when digging over the side of the machine. (Not available on the 304E CR.)
Rubber Pads – Optional rubber pads can be attached to the steel track to prevent damage to paved surfaces and minimize noise
andvibration during travel with the steel track system. This option provides the maximum overall stability.

Dozer Blade
Maximize your productivity
Simple Dozer Control with Float Function
The dozer function is pilot controlled from inside
the cab, providing smooth, proportional operation.
The standard oat function is enabled by pushing
the lever fully forward into the detent position.
Cleanup and backlling is easier since the
operator does not have to adjust the blade height
duringtravel.
Excellent Blade Visibility
Visibility to the blade is excellent in any position, allowing the
blade to be positioned behind the operator and away from the
front linkage for better access when back dragging and nishing
intightareas.
Angle Blade Option
Increase machine versatility with the Cat angle dozer blade.
Builtfor strength and durability, the hydraulic angle blade features
a hardened steel wear edge and good protection to cylinders
and hydraulic lines. The angle blade can be positioned straight
ahead or angled up to 25 degrees to the left or right. This reduces
the number of times required to back up and reposition when
backlling so you can nish the job faster. All functions of the blade
are controlled with one joystick using a proportional roller switch
for the angle function.
