Load Sensing Hydraulics. A load
sensing variable displacement pump
and pressure compensating system
continually monitor hydraulic power
requirements, then provides power
based on demand.

Lower Power Consumption. The variable
displacement hydraulic pump draws
engine power only when braking,
steering, dozer or grapple actuation
demands flow or pressure. This conserves
engine horsepower and increases fuel
efficiency.

Cooling Demands. Load sensing
hydraulics provide flow only when
needed, saving fuel and generating
less heat, allowing the cooling system
to allocate more capacity to the engine,
transmission and torque converter.

Oil Cooler. The oil cooler is located
above the radiator for better hydraulic
oil cooling performance and to make
radiator cleanout easier.

Auto-Grab Feature. Auto-Grab,
engineered by Caterpillar, constantly
monitors tong pressure and adjusts as
needed to securely hold grapple loads
while skidding. It is easily activated
on demand by a switch located on the
right-hand control lever.

Cat ToughGuard™ Hoses. Caterpillar
XT

®

-3 ToughGuard™ hoses improve

hose life in the grapple, arch, boom
and across the hitch. ToughGuard hoses
have been very successful in reducing
early hour hose failures. O-ring face
seals assure rock-solid connections that
maintain pressure and reduce oil leaks.

Steering. Fully hydraulic control.
Meets the following standards:
SAE J1511 OCT90, ISO 5010-1992.
