Hydraulics
Caterpillar sets the standard in power and precision with load-sensing hydraulics.

Load-Sensing Hydraulic System.

The variable displacement piston pump
and flow-sharing hydraulic valves sense
work demand and adjust flow and
pressure for increased productivity.
Load-sensing hydraulics deliver:
• Cooler hydraulic system
• Better fuel efficiency
• Quieter operation
• Reduced wear on components
Hydraulic Pump. The variable
displacement piston pump improves
implement response and speed while still
providing high forces at any engine speed.
Torque Limiter Control. The pump torque
limiter control manages distribution of
engine power to the hydraulic system
and drive train. E-Series improvements
produce more aggressive backhoe digging
and stronger truck loading performance.
Flow-Sharing Hydraulic Valves.
New flow-sharing hydraulic valves
automatically distribute flow to optimize
multi-function implement performance.
Closed-center implement valves signal

attachment points to eliminate metal- wraps bonded together for durability,
to-metal contact and increase wear life. Cat XT-3 ES (Enhanced Spiral)
ToughGuard hoses exceed SAE
certification standards. The hose routing
protects them from work damage, and
hose failure is substantially reduced.
Cat XT-3 ES ToughGuard hoses
combined with Cat couplings and O-ring
face seal fittings provide a leak-free
system. All backhoe hydraulic circuits
utilize the new ToughGuard hose with
extended wear characteristics.

Power Train
The Cat 3054C DIT engine is built for performance, power, reliability and fuel efficiency.

Smoother Shifts. New modulated

transmission control valves provide
smoother speed and directional shifts
on all transmissions.
Standard Transmission. The Caterpillar
power shuttle transmission provides
four speeds forward and reverse.
Full synchromesh gears and hydraulically
shifted forward and reverse shuttle
clutches allow direction and travel speed
to be changed on-the-go. A neutral start
provision prevents starting while the
shuttle is engaged.
Auto-Shift Transmission. The optional
automatic transmission matches gears with
grade and load conditions. Manual mode
gives full gear selection for operation as
a power shift transmission. Top gear is
selected with the twist grip control on
the steering column.
Transmission Kick-Down Switch/
Neutralizer. Located on the loader
joystick, the kick-down switch on auto-
shift machines allows the operator to
downshift through the gears to first.
When this switch is depressed for
more than one second, it serves as
the transmission neutralizer to maintain
engine and hydraulic speed when

Ride Control
Optional Caterpillar Ride Control delivers even greater operator comfort.

Ride Control System. The optional Ride

Control System incorporates a nitrogen
accumulator in the loader lift circuit that
smooths the ride in all conditions,
including load and carry, highway
roading, or simply moving around
the jobsite.
Improved Productivity. The Ride Control
option improves material retention in the
loader bucket for increased productivity
and a cleaner jobsite.
Controllability. Ride Control reduces
machine loping, providing a smooth and
stable ride for increased operator comfort
and reduced operator fatigue.
Convenient Operation. The system is
easily engaged by a switch on the front
console. On Auto-shift machines, the
Ride Control switch has three positions,
ON, OFF and AUTOMATIC. In the
automatic position, the Ride Control
engages automatically as the travel speed
increases. At low speed, the system
disengages for loading, grading or
