DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS

Cab options let you choose the level of comfort you need.
Enjoy wide spacing between consoles for a more spacious comfortable environment.
Sit in new, wide seats that adjust for operators of all sizes (heated and heated/cooled options are available).
Get in and out of the cab easier using the tip-up left console (in Deluxe and Premium cabs only).
Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls located in front of you. Standard automatic climate control keeps you at the right temperature throughout your shift.
Improved viscous mounts reduce cab vibration by up to 50% over our previous excavator models.
Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles.
The standard radio has USB ports and Bluetooth® technology enabled to connect your device and make hands-free calls.

RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

Protect hydraulic components in cold weather. The auto warm-up feature speeds hydraulic oil warming in cooler temperatures.
The fuel system is protected from contamination of fuel by three levels of filtration.
Bottom guarding protects engine and hydraulic components from damage while swinging and traveling.
The hydraulic tank with a new oval shape designed to improve stress resistance.
The strong X-structure lower frame carries loads from the excavator's upper structure to the track.
Travel motor hydraulic lines are routed inside of the frame to protect them from damage.
The sloped track frame design prevents mud and debris from accumulating and damaging tracks.
The grease lubricated tracks have grease sealed between the pin and bushing to prevent debris from entering and reducing life.
The track rollers are rebuild-able and sealed to prevent dirt and debris causing wear of internal components.
A bolt-on track guiding guard helps maintain track alignment while traveling or working on slopes.

SIMPLE TO OPERATE

Start the engine with a push button; use a Bluetooth key fob, smartphone app, or the Operator ID passcode.
Program each joystick button, including response and pattern, using Operator ID; the machine will remember what you set each time you go to work.
Program up to four depth and slope offsets so you can easily get to grade without a grade checker – a real time saver and safety enhancer on the jobsite.
Save more time and energy with available work tool recognition. A simple shake of the attached tool confirms its identity; it also ensures all the attachment settings are correct so you can get to work quickly and efficiently.
Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor, or with the optional 254 mm (10 in) touchscreen monitor, or with the aid of the jog dial control.
Protect your hammer from overworking. Auto hammer stop warns you after 15 seconds of continuous firing and then automatically shuts it off after 30 seconds -- all to prevent wear and tear on the attachment and excavator.
A second 254 mm (10 in) monitor is available for the advanced grade control.
Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Always have the operator's manual at your fingertips in the touchscreen monitor.

Do all daily maintenance at ground level.
Check engine oil level quickly and safely with the new ground-level engine oil dipstick; fill and check engine oil on top of the machine with a conveniently located second dipstick.
Reversing electric cooling fans make it easy to clean radiator, oil coolers, and condensers.
The new air intake filter with precleaner has double the dust holding capacity of the previous air intake filter.
Fuel filters are synchronized to be changed at 1,000 hours - double the interval from the previous filters.
The new hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance, anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter is replaced, and longer life with a 3,000 hour replacement interval – 50 percent longer than previous filter designs.
S·O·S ports are on ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of samples for fluid analysis.

SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY

Work safely under structures or near traffic with standard 2D E-fence integrated right out of the factory. It prevents any part of the excavator from moving outside operator-defined set points, avoiding hazards and jobsite accidents.
