• Harness added weight and horsepower to take on a wide range of dozing and grading tasks.
• Improved steering, tighter turning radius, quicker turns at the end of each pass help you finish jobs faster.
• Fully automatic 3-speed transmission gives you seamless acceleration, faster cycle times and more nimble movement around the jobsite.
• No need to shift – just set your desired ground speed and the dozer adjusts for maximum fuel efficiency and power to the ground.
• Agility and ideal machine balance help you achieve high quality grades quickly.
• Take on heavier work with a purpose-built push arm model.
• Power train automatically controls brakes, transmission and steering to provide tighter turns and help operators more easily work on slopes.

• Factory integrated Cat Grade with 3D uses GNSS/GPS to control the blade so you can get to design plan faster.
• Cat Grade with 3D has no masts – low profile antennas are integrated into the cab roof and GNSS/GPS receivers are mounted inside the cab for better protection.
• Automatically follow guidance lines from design plans with Steer Assist 3D. Stay on curb lines, centerlines, bottom of slope, etc., without operator effort. Track steering is used under light loads and blade tilt steering may be added under heavy loads.
• Grade operator interface is intuitive and easier to use: 10-inch (254 mm) touchscreen, Android OS platform, operates like a smart phone.
• All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica.
• Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install grade systems from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica onto the machine.
• The cab is Third Party Grade Control Ready, equipped with CAN interface, harness pass throughs and mounting features to make it easier to install the grade control system of your choice.

Cat Assist and Grade technologies work in the background to help dozer operators of varied skill levels and are especially beneficial to less experienced operators. To demonstrate just how much these built-in technology features help, Caterpillar put them to the test. Two novice operators and two expert operators took on slot dozing, truck dump spreading/grading in sand, and side slope work. Each operator completed three runs of each task – one in manual, one using Assist technology features, and one using Assist plus Cat Grade with 3D. The team measured productivity*, efficiency**, completion time, final surface quality, and operator inputs.

• Completely redesigned, more spacious cab sets the standard in comfort and productivity.
• More glass area, steeper hood angle provide 30% better forward visibility than the previous model.
• 10-in (254 mm) touchscreen display with easy-to-use operator interface.
• Standard High Definition rearview camera shows prominently in the main display.
• Wider air suspension seat has multiple adjustments for personalized comfort.
• Entire armrest adjusts forward and backward independent of the seat.
• Ample storage spaces throughout the cab.

• Cab is Remote Control Ready from the factory with external connector for dealer installation of the Cat Command system.
• Cat Command remote control technology provides full dozer maneuverability from a safe distance when working in hazardous environments.
• Command offers the choice of line-of-sight consoles or long-distance operator stations (non-line-of-sight).
• Take advantage of the dozer’s Grade and Assist features while out of the cab using the Command Station or Console.*
