Large displacement high-efficiency pumps provide optimal attachment flow.
Large, spacious, quiet cab featuring standard air suspension seat.
Features and benefits
Adjusts to the operator’s experience level
A fully integrated grade assist automatically traces the target surface to minimize over digging. A built-in facing angle compass ensures the machine is aligned with the target surface.
Auto stop control
To help eliminate potential damage during boom or bucket operation, the machine automatically stops when the bucket edge reaches the design surface.
Minimum distance control
iMC controls the bucket by automatically selecting the point closest to the target surface, which minimizes operator input while providing higher accuracy and grading confidence.
Critical precision for utility applications
For utility customers looking for the utmost precision, the excavator allows your operator to input structure, invert elevations of pipe runs and automatically calculates fall of pipe.
