Note
Travel speeds based on Michelin 45/65R39 LD D2**L5 tires.
  • All dimensions are approximate.
  • Specifications are calculated with a 6.1 m³ (8.0 yd³) rock bucket.
• All non-road Tier 4 Final/Stage V diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: – 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* – 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details. • Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer).** • For pre-Tier 4 engines: Cat engines are compatible with diesel fuel blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: – 100% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* – 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details. * For use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer. ** Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.
