Compact radius design gives greater machine versatility and the capability to work within confined areas. Show details... Impressive Cab Dimensions Optional Air Conditioning Sliding Cab Door Fully Pilot Operated Controls Automatic Two Speed Function Joystick Mounted Auxiliary and Boom Swing Functions Compact Radius Design High Level of Standard Comfort Features

Impressive Cab Dimensions The CR C Series gives the operator a comfortable and spacious working environment with excellent visibility. The clear flat floor space and superior operator legroom provide high levels of operator comfort and help minimize fatigue.

Optional Air Conditioning Optional air conditioning or fan and sun blind package offers further operator comfort.

Sliding Cab Door The sliding door system offers good access and maintains the machine's compact dimensions to reduce the risk of damage.

Fully Pilot Operated Controls Pilot operated controls on all services including travel levers and dozer function ensure that “as new” levels of controllability are maintained throughout the machine life.

Automatic Two Speed Function Improves machine maneuverability around the job site. Increased productivity by balancing high speed travel requirements with controllability.

Joystick Mounted Auxiliary and Boom Swing Functions The new joystick mounted position of these functions gives “fingertip” control and a clear cab floor.

Compact Radius Design Compact radius design gives greater machine versatility and capability to work within confined areas. The radius of the upper body stays within the width of the undercarriage so the operator can concentrate on the work being done without having to worry about the back of the machine.

High Level of Standard Comfort Features Reclining suspension seat, power point, adjustable wrist rests and a cup holder are standard features on the Cat C CR machines.

Performance and Versatility High dig forces, fast cycle times and high bucket rotation angles deliver the productivity that customers demand. A choice of stick lengths and Cat Work Tools makes the 305C CR even more versatile. Show details...

Turbocharged Engine Turbocharged engine gives high power and maintains strong performance at high altitude.

Fast, Powerful Digging High digging forces and fast cycle times through smooth responsive hydraulics, ensure that the Cat C Series CR machines deliver the productivity that customers demand.

Load Sensing Hydraulics Load sensing hydraulics optimize flow for smooth powerful performance and increased fuel economy.

Dozer Blade Float Function The dozer float enables easy ground levelling for landscaping and finishing applications, as well as more efficient site clean-up.

Stick Options A choice of standard or long stick enables matching of machine to application.

Hydraulic 'Thumb Ready' Sticks All Cat CR C Series machines come standard with stick mounted brackets, ready to fit a hydraulic thumb.

Auxiliary Lines and Connectors The auxiliary lines and connectors including quick connections are fitted as standard, meaning the Cat 305C CR come ready to work. Hammer (one-way) and auger (two-way) auxiliary lines are also fitted as standard.

Mechanical Quick Coupler The Cat Quick Coupler makes tool changes fast and easy. It maximises performance as it is compatible with all standard work tools. Work tool versatility is further enhanced with the option of a second additional auxiliary supply.

Wide Range of Work Tools These tools are designed to get the best out of the machine and deliver excellent value through high productivity and long life. Tools include: • Digging buckets • Ditch cleaning buckets • Angling ditching buckets • Hydraulic hammers • Augers

Bucket Angle High rotation bucket angle combines good spoil retention and flat back trench characteristics.

Low Operating Costs Robust, reliable and easily serviced are key attributes of the C Series CR design. Service points are easily accessed through rear door and side cover and a 500-hour engine oil change period lowers operating costs. Show details... Swing Out Rear Door Lifting Side Hood S•O•SSM Oil Sampling Valve Side By Side Radiator and Oil Cooler 500 Hour Oil and Filter Change Period Front Linkage End Dampening Liner Bearings

Swing Out Rear Door Provides access to major components and service points: • Engine oil check and fill • Vertically mounted engine oil filter • Starter motor • Alternator

Lifting Side Hood Allows excellent access to: • Air filter • Main implement valve • Auxiliary change over valve • Accumulator • Fuel filter • Hydraulic tank

S•O•SSM Oil Sampling Valve Allows easy sampling of the hydraulic fluid for preventative maintenance.

Side By Side Radiator and Oil Cooler Simplifies cleaning and reduces maintenance times with greater accessibility.

500 Hour Oil and Filter Change Period Reduces operating costs and machine down time.

Front Linkage Protected front linkage lines are routed above the boom and stick to help reduce damage and downtime.

End Dampening End dampening on both boom and stick cylinders reduces shock loading, increasing component life and improving soil retention when loading at height.

Liner Bearings Liner bearings in the swing casting deliver longer component life and reduced parts replacement costs.

Angle Blade Configuration The versatility and productivity of the Cat C Series machine can be increased even further by ordering the hydraulic angling dozer blade configuration. Show details... Versatility and Productivity Strong and Durable Single Control Lever Full Pilot Control Angle Blade Positioning Load Sensing Hydraulics, High Traction Force and Auto 2-Speed Travel Excellent Blade Visibility

Versatility and Productivity The Cat C Series machine can be made even more productive by ordering the angle dozer blade configuration.

Strong and Durable The Cat hydraulic angle blade is engineered to be strong and durable with a hardened steel wear edge and good protection to cylinders and hydraulic lines.

Single Control Lever All dozer functions are controlled from inside the cab, with fully proportional fingertip control to position the blade at any angle, from the start to 25 degrees left or right while travelling in either direction.

Full Pilot Control Full pilot control means no cables or linkages to wear, keeping ”as new” controllability throughout the machines life and reducing maintenance costs.

Angle Blade Positioning The angle blade can be positioned straight ahead or angled up to 25 degrees to the left or right reducing the number of times required to back-up and reposition when backfilling thus reducing operation time.

Load Sensing Hydraulics, High Traction Force and Auto 2-Speed Travel These features are standard on the Caterpillar C Series CR machines and ideally suited for getting the best out of the angling blade installation.

Excellent Blade Visibility The compact radius design of the Cat C Series machines gives excellent visibility to the blade in any position, allowing the blade to be positioned behind the operator and away from the front linkage, for better access when back dragging and finishing in tight areas.
