ACERT technology reduces emissions during the combustion process by using advanced technology in the air and fuel systems, in conjunction with integrated electronics. Caterpillar meets emission regulations at the combustion source rather than recycling exhaust gases.

Electronically controlled Caterpillar planetary power shift transmission with 8 forward and one reverse speed. Gears 1 & 2 operate in converter drive for increased torque capability during cut and fill operations. Gears 3 – 8 operate in direct-drive for efficiency during the haul. Reverse gear operates in converter drive.

The electrical system has been redesigned to utilize three electronic control modules (ECM) on the tractor instead of four.

Simple and easy to operate, the joystick enhances the productivity of operators of all skill levels. Requires less force to control the critical scraper functions and requires less lever travel. 1) Bowl (forward & back) 2) Ejector (side to side) 3) Apron (thumb rocker switch) 4) Transmission Hold 5) Cushion Hitch 6) Trigger (not shown - is on front of joystick) * Standard open bowl does not have a trigger.

Features a new quad-gauge layout showing engine coolant temp, transmission / torque converter oil temp, fuel level, and system air pressure.

Maintenance and service points for the engine are grouped on the right-hand side for easy access. They include the engine air cleaner, engine oil check and fill, fuel filters and priming, coolant level sight glass, window washer bottle, air conditioning dryer cartridge, ether starting aid canister, engine oil filter, fan drive lubrication, and sampling ports for the engine oil and coolant. · Spin-on fluid filters for all but the main hydraulic filter · Cab wiring harness redesigned and relocated for better serviceability
