The Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) 4M40-E1 Engine offers improved thermal efficiency with low fuel consumption and reduced low engine sound levels and vibration.
The cylinder block is cast iron for improved wear resistance. The upper part is laser hardened to reduce oil consumption and internal component wear.
Heat resistant aluminum alloy pistons have a short compression height, reducing weight and improving efficiency. The piston ring set consists of three rings, which are treated for wear resistance.
The 4M40-E1 engine features low fuel consumption, improved thermal efficiency and reduced friction resistance between piston and liners.
To make daily maintenance easy, the oil level gauge, oil filter, fuel filter and priming pump are located on the left side of the engine.
For durability and high reliability the surface of the crankshaft journals and pins are induction hardened to reduce wear.
A large diameter fan and full length, water-cooled engine cylinders, combined with excellent thermal efficiency, help prevent overheating, prolong engine life and ensure the ability to operate at high temperatures and under heavy loads.
Proven structural manufacturing techniques assure outstanding durability and service life from these important components.
X-shaped, box-section carbody provides excellent resistance to tortional bending. Robot-welded track roller frames are press-formed, pentagonal units to deliver exceptional strength and service life.
Sealed and lubricated track rollers, carrier rollers and idlers provide excellent service life, keeping the machine in the field longer.
Two optional blades are available to accommodate both track widths. Cutting edges on the blades are now replaceable and reversible. With the optional blades, the 307C can doze, backfill trenches, level working space and speed site cleanup.
Available as an attachment, the segment-type rubber track is available for use in urban areas. It helps prevent damage to concrete and other road surfaces.
New grease lubricated seals protect the track link and deliver long track link pin and bushing inner wear life.
Automatic speed selection enables the machine to automatically change up and down from high and low speeds in a smooth, controlled manner.
An idler guard, which is integral to the track roller frame, is standard. This guard helps maintain track alignment while traveling or working on slopes.
Front linkage variations on the 307C allow the use of two booms, two sticks, and five buckets. Using these combinations improves the general-purpose versatility of the excavator by suiting it to a diverse range of applications. The 307C SB provides further versatility to meet the needs of any job.
New bearing technology has extended the front linkage greasing intervals for all bearings except the bucket.
High tensile strength steel is used in high-stress areas for excellent wear and shock resistance. The side plates are tapered to prevent contact of the bucket sidewalls during trenching operations. All buckets are general purpose, share a common side profile and have lifting eyes.
A new seat with a two-tone color offers two types of cushions - soft and hard - for operator comfort. The reclining knob is located at the right-side of the seat for easier reclining adjustment.
The cab is newly designed and enlarged using asymmetrical steel tubing for improved resistance to fatigue and vibration. Falling Object Guard System (FOGS) may be bolted directly to the cab.
The cab shell is attached to the frame with improved viscous mounts, reducing vibration and sound.
With continuous and intermittent modes, the wiper is positioned on the right cab pillar, further improving the operator's viewing area.
Redesigned consoles for simplicity and functionality. Both consoles have attached adjustable armrests.
Fully automatic climate control adjusts temperature and flow and determines which air outlet is best in each situation.
New, compact monitor enhances viewing from the operator's seat while displaying a variety of easy to read and understand information.
Redesigned cab layout emphasizes simplicity and ease of use. Right-hand wall and console provide easy access to all switches, dials and controls.
A large rubber-covered footrest at the side of the travel pedals allows the foot to easily grip the pedal. The travel lever stroke and force have been enhanced to improve the 307C's fine controllability, making the machine easier to operate.
The 307C boom swing control is actuated by the foot pedal, conveniently located to the right of the travel pedal.
For easy access, the larger hydraulic actuation control lever is attached to the cab floor.
Window glass is affixed directly to the cab, eliminating window frames which interfere with the operator's viewing area. A larger right-side window also enhances viewing.
307C service and maintenance intervals have been extended to reduce machine service time and increase machine availability.
All daily maintenance areas are situated where they can be easily reached from ground level.
The engine can be accessed from the upper structure or from under the machine. A steel wall separates the engine and pump compartments.
Opening the engine hood allows easy access to the engine radiator, engine oil cooler, pump and pilot filter. A reserve tank and drain cock are attached to the radiator to simplify maintenance.
The water separator is located in the radiator compartment for easy access from the ground.
The 307C features a Cat radial seal for superior cleaning efficiency.
Grease lubricated seals protect the track link and deliver long track link pin and bushing inner wear life.
Engine radiator fan is completely enclosed by fine wire mesh, reducing the risk of an accident.
Anti-skid punched star plate covers the top of the storage box to prevent slipping during maintenance. The plate can be removed for cleaning.
307C DT electrical connectors are water and vibration resistant, which improves electrical system reliability.
Large handrails and steps assist operator in climbing on and off the machine.
Make detailed comparisons of the machines you are considering before you buy. What are the job requirements? What production is needed? What is the true cost of lost production? Your Cat dealer can give you precise answers to these questions.
Look past initial price, look at the value the 307C offers. Consider the financing options available as well as day-to-day operating costs.
Improving operating techniques can boost your profits. Your Cat dealer has training literature and other ideas to help you increase productivity.
Repair option programs guarantee the cost of repairs up front. Diagnostic programs such as Scheduled Oil Sampling and Technical Analysis help you avoid unscheduled repairs.
Repair, rebuild or replace? Your Cat dealer can help you evaluate the cost involved so you can make the right choice.
You will find nearly all parts at our dealer parts counter. Cat dealers utilize a worldwide computer network to find in-stock parts to minimize machine down time. You will save money with remanufactured components.
Improves productivity with faster implement speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
The hydraulic system offers precise control to the 307C, reducing operator fatigue and improving operator effectiveness and efficiency, which ultimately translates into enhanced performance.
Pump flow decreases when controls are in neutral for reduced fuel consumption and sound.
The auxiliary hydraulic valve is standard on the 307C for use with optional hydraulic circuits.
Hydraulic cylinder snubbers at the rod-end of boom cylinders and both ends of stick cylinders cushion shocks, reduce sound and increase cylinder life.
The 307C hydraulic system was designed to provide a high level of efficiency. With all major components located close together, shorter tubes and lines are needed, resulting in less friction loss in the lines and reduced pressure drops.
Up to two additional control valves can be added to the main control valve of the 307C (one on the 307C SB) to run additional tools.
Increased pilot hydraulic pressure provides better control to the front linkage, swing and travel operations.
For further versatility, a dedicated hammer (single function), thumb (double function) and combined auxiliary hydraulics are offered on the 307C.
