Application Specific Configuration – Maximize Performance and Productivity While Minimizing Operating Costs

Cooling System

An optional variable pitch fan automatically purges the cooler cores by periodically reversing the airflow when needed. This fan is beneficial in providing more airflow in the reverse direction (when compared to a system that simply reverses the fan rotation), which more thoroughly expels any debris build-up in the cooling cores. The variable pitch fan reduces the need for an air wand used to clean the backside of the cooler cores. For very high debris applications often found in millyards, consider pairing the variable pitch fan with optional high debris cooling cores for a robust solution and reduced maintenance.

An optional axle oil cooling system provides the capability to dissipate heat generated in high energy applications, such as braking with a large load or extended roading.

Air Systems

In conjunction with the standard strata precleaner, the optional turbine engine precleaner extends filter element life and helps to provide clean air to the engine in high debris applications by ejecting saw dust and similar material before it ever reaches the air cleaner. Similar in function, a Cat Advanced Cabin Filtration (ACF) precleaner is also available to extend service intervals of the cabin filter.

Guarding

Depending on the level of protection required, three optional guard designs are available to help protect the cab glass from damage while working in tough forestry applications. There are two front windshield guard options and a full cab glass guarding option available. Protecting the underside of the machine, the power train guard prevents debris build-up and damage to major components or systems such as the engine or transmission.

Cooling System

The cooling system is readily accessible for clean out and maintenance. With nine cooling fins per 25.4 mm (1.0 in) and a perforated grill, most airborne debris entering the system passes through the cooler cores. The hydraulic and A/C cooler cores swing out providing easy access to both sides for cleaning. An access panel on the left side of the cooling package swings down to provide access to the back side of the engine coolant and Air-to-Air After Cooler (ATAAC). An optional variable pitch fan can automatically purge the cooler cores by periodically reversing the airflow when needed.

Service Centers

The electrical and hydraulic service centers provide grouped access to numerous features, enhancing safety and convenience for your operators and service technicians, while reducing service time.

The electrical service center, located beneath the left platform, contains the maintenance free batteries, a fuse relay panel, main disconnect switch, ground level engine shutdown switch, hood tilt switch, and the jump start receptacle.

Hydraulic system components are protected by full flow and kidney-loop filtration. A filter in the hydraulic tank return line filters all of the oil returning to the tank. There is also a case drain screen for additional protection and finally, a separate kidney-loop filter with a finer micron rating continuously filters smaller particles out of the system. This multilevel design ensures the hydraulic oil is clean and thoroughly protects the rest of the hydraulic system from contamination. A thermal bypass valve has been added to improve hydraulic system warm-up.

The hydraulic service centers are now virtually identical for the M Series product line. This consistent layout makes it easier for service technicians who work on a variety of M Series models.
