CAT 306

Hydraulic System A smooth and responsive hydraulic system provides the level of control customers need in all applications, from fine leveling and bulldozing to backfilling. Powerful bucket and boom digging forces, along with shorter cycle times, contribute to world-class productivity and performance. Manual dual-speed travel balances travel speed with required slope steering and travel torque, enhancing site mobility and precise control. A float function improves leveling efficiency in landscaping and surface trimming operations and enhances site clearing efficiency. Boom and Boom The front structure is constructed from high-tensile-strength steel for maximum digging force. All pins used in the front linkage have a thick chrome plating to effectively prevent wear and noise, extending pin and boom life. The diameter of each pin is maximized to smoothly distribute shear and lateral loads associated with the boom during demanding digging operations. The pins are used with a low-maintenance bushing assembly to reduce pin wear and extend lubrication intervals.
