Indicate helps you to dig to an exact depth, length or slope. E-Fence ensures that you avoid obstacles, buried services and more. Swing Assist automatically stops the machine swing at set points. Bucket Assist maintains the last known bucket angle, and keeps the cut accurate.

Once you try Cat Ease of Use technology, you won’t want to work without it.
