[. . . ] The new design of the cooling package facilitates serviceability and cleaning of the radiator and cooling fan. 12 Work Tools Caterpillar offers a variety of work tools, designed with the strength and versatility needed to accomplish the job quickly and effectively. 13 2 Operator Station SystemOneTM Undercarriage A new operator station offers excellent Designed exclusively by Caterpillar for visibility and superior comfort. Cat Machines, SystemOne Undercarriage AccuGrade Laser and GPS systems can Standard features include a fully extends undercarriage system life, be easily installed on the AccuGrade adjustable air suspended seat, air improves reliability and reduces ARO (Attachment Ready Option) conditioning, electro-hydraulic controls, Owning and Operating costs. [. . . ] The operator station features an ergonomic layout emphasizing simplicity, ease of use and comfort. Standard air conditioning, generous leg room and superior visibility allow the operator to focus on the job. With more glass area, the operator station provides a clear view to the blade and the surrounding work site. The Caterpillar C500 Comfort air suspended seat is available in cloth or vinyl and is fully adjustable, for maximum operator comfort. For comfortable operation in cold weather, a heated cloth seat is available. Seat-mounted controls. For optimum comfort and precise control, the D6K22 features ergonomically designed seat-mounted controls. Seat-mounted controls isolate vibrations from the operator, and provide independent seat and controls adjustment. Individual wrist pads and armrests can be adjusted independently for optimum comfort. New electrohydraulic controls provide quick steering response, precise blade control, and comfortable, low-effort operation. · · Messenger. Messenger is an electronic monitoring system with real-time, visual feedback on engine and machine operating conditions. It provides information on machine performance, fuel consumption, diagnostics, and allows the operator to set some parameters, such as implement and steering modulation. 8 Work Tool Controls. The system makes automatic elevation adjustments typically performed by the operator and provides automatic blade control. The system also calculates cut/fill requirements for manual blade control. · AccuGrade System for Track-Type Tractors. Caterpillar is helping customers revolutionize the way they move material with new technology solutions for earthmoving machines ­ solutions that provide greater accuracy, higher productivity, lower operating costs and more profitability. The AccuGrade System is designed and integrated into the machine and hydraulic systems to create an automated blade control system that allows operators to grade with increased accuracy. The system uses machine-mounted sensors to calculate precise blade slope and elevation information. The integrated electrohydraulic valve control module uses the information received from the sensors to automatically adjust the blade to maintain grade. Automated blade control allows operators to improve efficiency and productivity by achieving grade faster and in fewer passes than ever before, reducing the need for traditional survey stakes or grade checkers. · AccuGrade GPS. AccuGrade GPS computes the positioning information on the machine, compares the position of the blade relative to the design plan and delivers that information to the operator via an in-cab display. Information, such as blade elevation, necessary cut/fill to achieve grade, visual indication of the blade's position on the design surface and a graphical view of the design plan with machine location. AccuGrade GPS puts all the information the operator needs to complete the job in the cab, resulting in a greater level of control. Vertical and horizontal guidance tools visually guide the operator to the desired grade. [. . . ] Make detailed comparisons of the machines you are considering before you buy. Consider the financing options available as well as day-to-day operating costs. This is also the time to look at dealer services that can be included in the cost of the machine to yield lower equipment owning and operating costs over the long run. Your Cat Dealer has training videotapes, literature and other ideas to help you increase productivity. [. . . ]
