BETTER COMFORT AND CONTROL
<ul><li>Visibility is key to your safety, efficiency and quality of work. The motor grader delivers with angled cab doors, tapered engine enclosure and a sloped rear window make it easy to see the moldboard and tires, as well as behind the machine. Optional rear camera further enhances lines of sight.</li><li>The most comfortable cab in the industry.</li><li>Joystick controls reduce hand and arm movement by 78%, which helps to lower operator fatigue.</li><li>Easy-reach rocker and control switches</li><li>Standard Cat Comfort Series suspension seat.</li><li>Control pods adjust electronically - easy to set ideal operating position.</li><li>Isolation mounts reduce sound and vibration for more relaxed environment.</li><li>High capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and keeps windows clear.</li><li>Optional deluxe radio with CD features MP3 and Bluetooth technology.</li><li>In-dash instrument cluster houses easily read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps keep you aware of critical system information.</li><li>Two electro-hydraulic joysticks make operation easy and comfortable. Adjustable control pods ensure they are positioned for optimal comfort, visibility and operation.</li><li>Joystick Functions -</li></ul><ol><li>Left joystick controls steering, articulation, return-to-center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard lift cylinder and float.</li><li>Right joystick controls drawbar, circle and moldboard functions as well as electronic throttle control and manual differential lock/unlock. Joystick lean angle mirrors the steer tires' turning angle.</li></ol><ul><li>Brake tensioning system holds the joystick in position until the operator moves it.</li><li>Steering control automatically reduces steering sensitivity at higher ground speeds for predictable control.</li><li>Infinitely variable roller switches control the rear ripper and/or front lift group (when equipped).</li><li>Proven load-sensing and advanced electro-hydraulics give you superior implement control and responsive hydraulic performance that makes operators' jobs easier.</li><li>Continuously matching hydraulic flow/pressure to power demands reduces heat and optimizes power.</li><li>Proportional Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPP-C) valves have different flow rates for the head and rod ends of the cylinder, so you can count on consistent, predictable implement response.</li><li>Hydraulic flow is proportioned to give you confidence that all implements operate simultaneously without slowing engine or implement speed.</li><li>Blade Float allows the blade to move freely under its own weight.</li><li>Float both cylinders, to allow blade can follow the contours of the ground.</li><li>Float one cylinder to permit the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator controls slope with the other cylinder.</li><li>Large, independent hydraulic oil supplies prevent cross-contamination and provide proper cooling, reducing heat build-up and extending component life.</li><li>Cat XT™ hose allows high pressures for maximum power and reduced downtime.</li><li>Articulation Return-to-Center automatically returns the machine to a straight frame position from any angle with the touch of a button.</li><li>Choose the blade lift modulation mode that best fits your application or operating style: fine, normal, or coarse.</li></ul>
