- Next Gen Slope Assist available on a growing range of Cat dozers. Please consult your Cat dealer for specific model availability.
Basic or Advanced
- Basic Mode - push the Auto button on the joystick, move the blade to the desired position and Slope Assist will maintain that position.
- Mainfall automatically lifts or lowers blade to maintain desired slope.
- Blade Cross Slope automatically tilts blade to maintain desired blade cross slope.
- Advanced Mode gives you more features to help you work from existing planes.
- Recall Value places and controls blade to consistent value with each auto initiation.
- Swap Slope reverses slope values when changing directions.
- Match Slope lets you put the blade on the ground and push a button to match recall value to the existing slope.
- Increment/Decrement – joystick buttons adjust mainfall or blade cross slope away from corresponding recall value.
