All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica.Grade operator interface is intuitive and easier to use: 10-inch (254 mm) touchscreen, Android OS platform, operates like a smart phone.Track steering is used under light loads and blade tilt steering may be added under heavy loads. Stay on curb lines, centerlines, bottom of slope, etc., without operator effort. Automatically follow guidance lines from design plans with Steer Assist 3D.Cat Grade with 3D has no masts – low profile antennas are integrated into the cab roof and GNSS/GPS receivers are mounted inside the cab for better protection.Factory integrated Cat Grade with 3D uses GNSS/GPS to control the blade so you can get to design plan faster.*Feature not operational indoors or in areas where a GNSS/GPS signal is not available. Attachment Ready Option (ARO) provides wiring and mounting provisions for dealer installation of Grade with 3D, Accugrade, UTS, or other grade control systems.Slope Indicate is included in the main machine display and shows side slope and uphill/downhill grades to help operators with slope work.AutoCarry automates blade lift to help you maintain consistent blade load and reduce track slip.*.Traction Control automatically reduces track slip to save you time, fuel and track wear.*.Actively monitors machine load and track slip to help you reach optimal pushing capacity.* Blade Load Monitor gives you real-time feedback on current load versus the optimal blade load based on your ground conditions.Stable Blade works seamlessly with operator inputs to help produce a smoother surface when operating manually.Helps reduce operator fatigue by automatically maintaining straight travel with light loads or heavy loads on flat ground and side slopes. Steer Assist automates track and blade tilt steering.

For machines with 3D, operators can easily switch back and forth from full 3D automatics to Slope Assist. Cat Grade with Slope Assist™ automatically maintains pre-established blade position without a GNSS/GPS signal – no additional hardware or software needed.

Seasoned operators can enjoy reduced effort and fatigue, along with faster, more accurate results. Some blade and steering functions are automated so newer operators can work at productivity levels closer to their veteran counterparts. Assist features help make work easier, especially for less experienced operators.
