*Meets Tier 4 Interim, Stage IIIB, and Japan 2011 (Tier 4 Interim) equivalent emission standards. **Meets Tier 4 Final/Stage IV OR Tier 3/Stage IIIA equivalent OR Tier 2/Stage II equivalent emission standards.

***Changes in bucket weight, including field installed wear iron, can impact rated payload. Consult your Cat dealer for assistance in selecting and configuring the proper bucket for the application.The Cat LargeWheel Loader Payload Policy is a guideline intended to maximize wheel loader structural and component life.The Cat Payload Policy is that the “Gross Bucket plus Payload Capacity” is the MAXIMUM weight that should be carried on the end of the Lift Arm/Boom. ****Raise is from carry position for the 972K and 980K. NOTE: For 972K and 980K, Net Engine Power is provided according to SAE J1349 and ISO 9249. Gross Engine Power is provided according to SAE J1995.
