Skid Steer Loaders

Power TrainCaterpillar Hystat power train delivers aggressive performance and easy operation.Cat Diesel Power.The heart of the Cat Skid Steer Loaderpower train is the Caterpillar 3024Cdiesel engine, which is turbocharged inthe 242B model. This rugged, reliablefour-cylinder Stage II compliant Catengine offers aggressive performanceand a fast torque curve for quickresponse.Throttle Control.Dual engine throttle controls allowthe operator to match engine speed tothe task. The hand throttle is ideal forjobs requiring consistent engine speed -such as cold planing or trenching.The foot throttle enables the operatorto vary engine speed and minimize fuelconsumption for other tasks such asload and carry, truck loading, gradingand dozing.Anti-Stall System. An exclusive antistallsystem on the Cat Skid SteerLoaders allows maximum power tothe wheels while minimizing enginestalling. This exclusive system helpsmaximize productivity for experiencedoperators and makes it easier for noviceoperators to become productive.Axial Piston Pumps. Dual, variabledisplacementaxial piston pumps aredriven directly off the engine andprovide hydraulic flow to the drivemotors via a closed loop system.Drive motors transfer mechanical powerto the wheels via two high-strength,pre-stressed chains per machine side.Chains run in an oil bath for constantlubrication and long life. Chains areadjustable through slots in the axlehousings.Drive Axles. Drive axles are forged andinduction hardened for maximum life.They include a unique labyrinth sealwhich consist of lip and outer seal tohelp prevent debris such as wire andtwine from wrapping around the axleand destroying the seal. An inner sealis used for permanent lubrication ofaxle bearings - no daily axle serviceis required.6
