  • The Digital Blade Slope Meter option shows you the grade without relying on manual grade checkers.
  • Get extra traction with the differential lock when working in loose material.
  • Keep your machine’s engine speed at your desired level when using throttle lock and throttle hold.
  • Product Link™ Elite provides location, machine hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, diagnostic codes, and other machine data on demand through the VisionLink® online interface, which helps you improve jobsite efficiency with lower operating costs. Minestar™ can also be configured to your machine for added support.

Cab Keeps You Comfortable All Day Long

  • Choose your comfort level in the cab with the mechanical suspension or air suspension seat.
  • Easily pull the control console and tilt the steering wheel to your ideal position.
  • The standard Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system circulates fresh air, prevents dust entry, and keeps windows from fogging.
  • Standard fresh air vents at the rear of the cab help to keep the windows clear.
  • Easily add a radio to the cab using the standard mount, speakers and wiring.
  • Neatly pack away all your gear with in-cab storage space, cup and cell phone holder.

Reliable Performance

  • The adjustable drawbar circle moldboard helps to stay factory tight with shimmable draftball, circle and blade wearstrips and to provide precision grading pass after pass.
  • The machine is built for a long life with reinforced structures.
  • The standard slip clutch protects the circle drive if the moldboard strikes an immovable object.
  • The front axle maximizes bearing life while also minimizing maintenance with the live spindle design.
  • The standard compression brakes help to extend the brakes life while also maintaining the machine’s braking power.
  • Standard blade lift accumulators help to absorb impact loads from the moldboard and help protect the ground engagement tools and front frame from potential damage.

Safely Home Every Day

  • See what’s behind you with the high-resolution rear camera option. The dedicated display can always be on to ensure a safe work environment.
  • In the event of a drop in hydraulic pressure, count on the secondary steering system option to help stop the machine safely.
  • Use three points of contact when entering and exiting the machine with strategically placed walkways and grab rails. An optional rear step is available to help with access to the tandems. The steps use an anti-skid punch plate to prevent slipping.
  • Ground level engine shut-off switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts the machine down.
  • See the rear of your machine with side and rearview mirrors.
  • Work past sundown using the strategically placed lights for nighttime visibility.

Maintenance Made Easy
