maintenance checks are performed from the machine’s
right side, facilitating quick start up. Easy access to
major components enhances serviceability and increase
uptime.
●

efficiency,
comfort and productivity with the newDSeries cab. The
cab features a new gauge cluster, a fully air-suspension
seat, the new seat mounted controls, an automatic air
climate control and provides excellent visibility.
●
Messenger.
Messenger is a new electronic monitoring
system with real time, visual feedback on engine and
machine operating conditions. It provides information
on diagnostic data, maintenance, and allows operating
settings such as implement reactions.
●
Hydrostatic drive.
The closed loop hydrostatic drive
with electronic control provides precise modulation
for quick, smooth operation and superior maneuver-
ability. Shorter cycle times, high efficiency, and excel-
lent maneuverability results in increased productivity.
