Benefits & Features

Ergonomic Operator Station

Adjustable Seat Mounted Controls improve ergonomics by increasing operator comfort and legroom. Operators have Loader and Backhoe Controls in the palm of their hands, whether they are facing the Loader, the Backhoe, or sitting off set. Variable Speed Steer reduces operator fatigue in applications, such as truck loading, by reducing the number of steering wheel rotations required to turn the machine. The new Spring Applied Hydraulically Released (SAHR) Parking Brake is controlled by simply pressing a button.

Advanced Hydraulics

The Cat Backhoe Loader’s load sensing piston pump provides full hydraulic lifting and digging forces at any engine speed. Variable flow pump matches hydraulic power to work demands. The advanced hydraulic system allows the operator to adjust Loader and Backhoe Auxiliary Flow matching attachment specifications, program Loader Bucket Kickout and Return to Dig, and Enable Parallel Lift.

Machine Performance

The Cat C4.4 ACERT™ engine delivers solid performance and meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV emission standards by utilizing Selective Catalytic Reduction technology with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst. The new Backhoe design and optimized Loader Linkage increases lift capacity and breakout forces on both ends of the machine. A redesigned Loader System provides superior machine balance and stability regardless of the ground conditions.
