The torque divider arrangement is a Caterpillar exclusive that provides high torque multiplication when under load with direct drive efficiency when completing lower engine load functions such as backfilling trenches or spreading material.

Three speeds forward and three speeds reverse, utilizing large diameter, high capacity, oil-cooled clutches.

• Modulation system permits fast speed and direction changes.
• Oil-to-water cooler for maximum cooling capacity.
• Forced oil flow lubricates and cools clutch packs to provide maximum clutch life.

Minimizes internal bushing wear with the pin by a thin film of lubricant and retained by a polyurethane seal. Extends service life of the undercarriage as a system.

Steering and transmission controls are located conveniently to the operator's left for comfortable operation.

The dozer controls are located on the operator's right hand side.

A comfortable suspension seat is able to be adjusted fore and aft for greater operator comfort. Arm rests also help provide comfort for all day operation. Wide 76 mm (3 in) seat belt is standard.

A machine monitoring system lets you track the following machine systems:

• Fuel level
• Coolant temperature
• Transmission/torque converter temperature
• Service hour meter
• Air cleaner service indicator
• Engine oil pressure and alternator are monitored by a warning lamp and audible alarm system.

A single brake pedal actuates both tracks to make operation easier.
