Benefits & Features

    • Performance – Well balanced weight and power make the 903C suitable for tasks in agriculture, landscaping, snow, construction, and industrial segments. Optional external counterweights increase lift capacity for demanding jobs.
    • Ease of Operation – Two independent control levers for lift/tilt and auxiliary functions provide excellent bucket feel and implement modulation.
    • Power Train – Hydrostatic drive line features a 16 km/h (10 mph) travel speed. Axles are available with front and rear diff-lock.
    • Safety – Reduced engine overhang lends itself to excellent rear and corner visibility, keeping the operator safe and productive to the task at hand.
    • Serviceability – Fully opening rear hood allows easy access to engine compartment featuring side-by-side coolers and transparent fuel/water separator.
    • Work Tools – Standard Skid Steer Loader coupler and continuous auxiliary hydraulic flow enables the 903C to use a large range of Cat Skid Steer Loader hydro mechanical work tools.
