Indicate makes your job easier
and more productive
Indicate is an entry-level grade system where operators of all skill levels can simply select a target depth and slope from the in-cab guidance system. The monitor then provides real-time, work-in-progress feedback and distance to grade.
Ideal for work in and around footings, septic systems, residential foundations, slope work and similar applications, Indicate gives you:
- Improved accuracy and precision
- Reduced fatigue from overcutting, overswinging and reworking
- Safer work zones with less need for on-the-ground grade checking
- Enhanced operator productivity and efficiency
- Lower overall operating costs
E-Fence is your first line of defense.
Overhead power lines, underground cables, nearby electric utilities and tight jobs along roadways—if you find yourself in a tight spot, E-Fence makes work easier. Simply set your maximum depth, height, wall and/or swing boundaries, and voila! No more worrying about entering the danger zone, E-Fence automatically constrains machine motion to your preset limitations.

Overhead power lines, underground cables, nearby electric utilities and jobs along roadways—if you find yourself in a rough spot, E-Fence makes work easier. Simply set your maximum depth, height, wall and/or swing boundaries, and voila! No more worrying about entering the danger zone, E-Fence automatically constrains machine motion to your preset limitations.
Ideal for working around obstacles, E-fence helps you:
- Work safer in busier jobsites
- Reduce risk of damage to equipment and structures
- Constrain operating envelope for newer operators
- Confidently dig above underground pipes and utilities
Swing Assist
The Swing Assist feature automatically stops machine swing at set points in truck loading, trenching and similar applications. Also referred to as return-to-trench. Simply swing to the desired stopping point and activate using the machine monitor. As you get closer, the machine automatically decelerates and won't swing past the set point.
Swing Assist helps you:
- Hit swing targets consistently in repetitive work
- Reduce fuel usage
- Improve cycle times
Bucket Assist
A feature that enhances productivity, Bucket Assist maintains the last known bucket angle and keeps the cut accurate in sloping, leveling, fine grading and trenching applications using the machine monitor.
