Propel System
The single pump propel system with
flow divider provides balanced
hydraulic flow to both the rear drive
axle and the front drum drive motor to
minimize drum and wheel spin-out in
low traction conditions. (Flow divider is
optional on CS-323C without a blade.)
This system enables the operator to
achieve good gradeability and machine
control while compacting on a grade or
using the optional leveling blade.

Operator’
The 300C-Series Soil Compactors
feature exceptional operator comfort
and visibility. A propel lever, grouped
control gauges and conveniently located
control switches enhance operator
productivity and reduce operator
fatigue. Four heavy-duty isolation
mounts provide a smooth ride. A new
steering wheel with integrated center
horn function and steering knob helps
reduce operator fatigue. The operator’s
platform is enclosed by handrails and
features angled foot rests for sure
footing when working on a grade. A
ROPS/FOPS canopy with a rear view
mirror is standard.
