POWERFUL EFFICIENCY
  • Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC) reduces wheel slippage and tip wear by modulating rim pull from 100 to 20 percent while depressing left pedal. After 20 percent rim pull is achieved the left pedal applies the brake.
  • Reduces wheel slippage without reducing hydraulic efficiency.
LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY
  • Designed and made with purpose-built structures to remain safe and durable for the long run.
  • Full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces.
  • Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently conduct steering loads into the frame.
  • Axle mounting, lower hitch pin, frame plate, and bearing size have all been increased for longer life.
PERFORMANCE WITH LESS FUEL
  • Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS) delivers consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls.
  • Strategic use of metallurgy and heat treating ensures long-life gears.
  • The Cat C18 engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency and increased power density.
