Reliability
Tested and Proven. Ready to Work.
Structures
The K Series™ features many of the components designed and proven reliable over generations of product design.
Strata Precleaner
The system removes 93% of the dust particles before the air has reached the primary engine air ilter. 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 lows down the center of the tube and continues into the primary air ilter. The primary beneit is extended ilter life.
Cold Start/High Altitude Package
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.

Load Sensing Hydraulics
New load sensing hydraulics produce low and pressure for the implement system upon demand and only in amounts necessary to perform the needed work functions, enhancing machine productivity and fuel eficiency. Implement controllability is improved through simultaneous implement operation and repeatable ine modulation, enabling greater operator comfort through ease of operation.
Ride Control
Ride control provides the operator with a smoother ride over rough terrain, enabling a more comfortable ride at higher speeds. The beneit is reduced cycle times, higher productivity and better fuel eficiency while performing load and carry applications. The system works by using an accumulator to dampen the linkage motion, acting as a shock absorber.
Lockup Torque Converter
The optional lockup torque converter on the 980K signiicantly enhances productivity and fuel eficiency while performing load and carry applications, especially on grades. The lockup clutch eliminates torque converter losses, ultimately resulting in lower fuel consumption while achieving higher travel speeds up a grade.
Transmission
The K Series™ transmissions incorporate a new shifting strategy that delivers smoother shifts, faster acceleration, and better performance climbing a grade. When placing the transmission into forward gear, the machine will automatically start in second gear. With the further enhancement of a torque based 2 to 1 downshift, the downshift will only occur based on machine load. Owners and operators will fully beneit from utilizing the automatic 1-4 transmission mode, which results in lower fuel consumption and optimal machine performance.
