Benefits & Features

IMPROVED VISIBILITY

    • New sloped hood provides better visibility to the work in front of the blade as well as the overall job site. Better visibility can equal less operator fatigue and more confidence in your work.

GRADE TECHNOLOGY

    • Scalable 2D and 3D Cat Grade provide technologies like Slope Assist, Stable Blade, and Slope Indicate for easier and more efficient operation, as well as the flexibility to adapt different technology based on job site demands.
    • 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.

UP TO 10% IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY

    • The D3 features the lowest fuel consumption in this size class with the same great performance you've come to expect. Up to 20% improvement and no performance sacrifice when ECO mode is active.

UP TO 10% IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY

    • The D3 features the lowest fuel consumption in this size class with the same great performance you've come to expect. Up to 20% improvement and no performance sacrifice when ECO mode is active.

COMFORTABLE WORK SPACE

    • The spacious and comfortable cab features an optional heated and ventilated seat, along with heated joystick controls to make the operator comfortable no matter what the conditions are outside. The seat height and armrests can be easily adjusted to the operator’s preference.

BIGGER, BETTER DISPLAY WITH CAMERA

    • This new and improved optional 10 in (254 mm) touchscreen, color display is easy to use, with a great view of machine settings, rearview camera and Slope Indicate/Slope Assist screens. The large reversing camera gives the operator better visibility to the job site.

DURABLE UNDERCARRIAGE

    • The D3 is available with either a Sealed and Lubricated Track (SALT) or Abrasion undercarriage to best suit your application. The undercarriage has a longer life resulting in less down time. A one piece mainframe/track roller frame design and the large, double reduction planetary final drive allow the machine to push heavy loads.
