304C CR^Non-Current

Impressive Cab Dimensions

The CR C Series gives the operator a comfortable and spacious working environment with excellent visibility. The clear flat floor space and superior operator legroom provide high levels of operator comfort and help minimize fatigue.

Optional Air Conditioning

Optional air conditioning or fan and sun blind package offers further operator comfort.

Sliding Cab Door

The sliding door system offers good access and maintains the machine's compact dimensions to reduce the risk of damage.

Fully Pilot Operated Controls

Pilot operated controls on all services including travel levers and dozer function ensure that "as new" levels of controllability are maintained throughout the machine life.

Automatic Two Speed Function

Improves machine maneuverability around the job site. Increased productivity by balancing high speed travel requirements with controllability.

Joystick Mounted Auxiliary and Boom Swing Functions

The new joystick mounted position of these functions gives “fingertip” control and a clear cab floor.

Compact Radius Design

Compact radius design gives greater machine versatility and the capability to work within confined areas. The radius of the upper body stays within the width of the undercarriage so the operator can concentrate on the work being done without having to worry about the back of the machine.

High Level of Standard Comfort Features

Reclining suspension seat, power point, adjustable wrist rests and a cup holder are standard features on the Cat C CR machines.

Fast, Powerful Digging

High digging forces and fast cycle times through smooth responsive hydraulics, ensure that the Cat C Series CR machines deliver the productivity that customers demand.

Load Sensing Hydraulics

Load sensing hydraulics optimize flow for smooth powerful performance and increased fuel economy.

Dozer Blade Float Function

The dozer float enables easy ground levelling for landscaping and finishing applications, as well as more efficient site clean-up.

Stick Options

A choice of standard or long stick enables matching of machine to application.

Hydraulic 'Thumb Ready' Sticks

All Cat CR C Series machines come standard with stick mounted brackets, ready to fit a hydraulic thumb.

Auxiliary Lines and Connectors

The auxiliary lines and connectors including quick connections are fitted as standard, meaning the Cat 304C CR come ready to work. Hammer (one-way) and auger(two-way) auxiliary lines are also fitted as standard.

Mechanical Quick Coupler

The Cat Quick Coupler makes tool changes fast and easy. It maximizes performance as it is compatible with all standard work tools. Work tool versatility is further enhanced with the option of a second additional auxiliary supply.

Wide Range of Work Tools

These tools are designed to get the best out of the machine and deliver excellent value through high productivity and long life. Tools include:
• Digging buckets
• Ditch cleaning buckets
• Angling ditching buckets
• Hydraulic hammers
• Augers

Bucket Angle

High rotation bucket angle combines good spoil retention and flat back trench characteristics.

Swing Out Rear Door

Provides access to major components and service points:
• Engine oil check and fill
• Vertically mounted engine oil filter
• Starter motor
• Alternator

Lifting Side Hood

Allows excellent access to:
• Air filter
• Main implement valve
• Auxiliary change over valve
• Accumulator
• Fuel flter
• Hydraulic tank

S•O•SSM Oil Sampling Valve

Allows easy sampling of the hydraulic fluid for preventative maintenance.

Side-By-Side Radiator and Oil Cooler

Simplifies cleaning and reduces maintenance times with greater accessibility.

500 Hour Oil and Filter Change Period

Reduces operating costs and machine down time.

Front Linkage

Protected front linkage lines are routed above the boom and stick to help reduce damage and downtime.

End Dampening

End dampening on both boom and stick cylinders reduces shock loading, increasing component life and improving soil retention when loading at height.

Liner Bearings

Liner bearings in the swing casting deliver longer component life and reduced parts replacement costs.

Versatility and Productivity

The Cat C Series machine can be increased even further by ordering the angle dozer blade configuration.

Strong and Durable

The Cat hydraulic angle blade is engineered to be strong and durable with a hardened steel wear edge and good protection to cylinders and hydraulic lines.

Single Control Lever.

All dozer functions are controlled from inside the cab, with fully proportional fingertip control to position the blade at any angle, from the start to 25 degrees left or right while travelling in either direction.

Full Pilot Control

Full pilot control means no cables or linkages to wear, keeping ”as new” controllability throughout the machines life and reducing maintenance costs.

Angle Blade Positioning

The angle blade can be positioned straight ahead or angled up to 25 degrees to the left or right reducing the number of times required to back-up and reposition when backfilling thus reducing operation time.

Load Sensing Hydraulics, High Traction Force and Auto 2-Speed Travel

These features are standard on the Cat C Series CR machines and ideally suited for getting the best out of the angling blade installation.

Excellent Blade Visibility

The compact radius design of the Cat C Series machines gives excellent visibility to the blade in any position, allowing the blade to be positioned behind the operator and away from the front linkage for better access when back dragging and finishing in tight areas.

Selection

Make detailed comparisons of the machines under consideration before you purchase. Your Cat dealer can give you precise answers to your questions, as well as estimate component life, preventive maintenance cost and the true cost of lost production.

Purchase

Look past initial price. Consider the flexible financing options available, as well as day-to-day operating costs. Look at dealer services that can be included in the cost of the machine to yield lower equipment owning and operating costs over the long haul. Your Cat dealer can provide a package to meet your needs.

Operation

Improving operating techniques can boost your profits. Your Cat dealer has training literature, video tapes, classes and other ideas to help increase your productivity.

Equipment Maintenance Services

More and more equipment buyers are planning for effective maintenance before buying. Choose from your dealer's wide range of maintenance services at the time you purchase your new machine. Repair option programs guarantee the cost of repairs up front. Services that help optimize machine performance include:
• Customer Support Agreements
• S•O•SSM and Coolant Sampling and Technical Analysis
• Maintenance contracts
• Scheduled technical inspections

Unmatched Product Support

You will find nearly all parts at our dealer parts counter. Cat dealers use a world-wide computer network to find in-stock parts to minimize machine downtime. Save money with genuine Cat Remanufactured parts. You receive the same warranty and reliability as new products at a cost savings of 40-70 percent.
