Inside the spaciousoperator station, feel the superior comfort of a sealed andpressurized cab. Adjustable seat mounted controls and anavailable air ride seat keep you comfortable throughoutthe work day. Increased rated operating capacities,higher horsepower and improved drawbar performancehelp you get more done and increase your bottom line.

Operator StationSuperior comfort to keep you productive throughout the work day.Superior ComfortComfort and ease of operation have been designed into everyaspect of the operator station. The wide, spacious interior anduncluttered floor provide a comfortable work environment withexcellent head, shoulder and leg room to keep productivity highand help reduce fatigue.Sealed and Pressurized CabOperators spend long hours in the machine. The optional sealedand pressurized cab keeps dust out and clean air in for greateroperator comfort. Reduced sound levels within the cab alsohelp reduce fatigue.Seat Mounted Joystick ControlsErgonomic, seat mounted joystick controls enable a wide rangeof comfortable operating positions for operators of any size.The seat and controls are independently adjustable to meetthe specific needs of the operator.Advanced Machine Information and Control SystemThe optional Advanced Machine Information and Control System(AMICS) provides easy to read analog gauges for hydraulic oiland engine coolant temperature. The electronic display providesadditional operating information such as engine speed, job clockand diagnostic service codes. This display also provides the userinterface for the optional AccuGrade Grade Control System.The Selectable Work Speed Control, Selectable ImplementControl and Selectable Hystat Response Control modes allowthe operator to “dial in” his machine to maximize production.Additional Features for Maximum Comfort Air ride seat available for an unparalleled level of comfortin a skid steer loader. Easy to read instrument panels. Optional air conditioner and heater for greater comfortin extreme conditions. Optional Selectable Pattern Control which allows the operatorto select the control pattern they are most familiar with forgreater productivity.3

Power TrainAggressive performance with fuel efficiency.Cat EngineThe high performance power train provides high engine horsepower and torque.The machines feature the Cat C3.4 DIT engine – a rugged, reliable engine thatmeets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIA emission requirements.Hand and Foot ThrottlesHand and foot throttles allow the operator to match engine speed to the task.The hand throttle is ideal for jobs requiring constant engine speed such as coldplaning, trenching or snow blowing. The foot throttle lets the operator vary enginespeed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and carry, truckloading, grading and dozing.Electronic Torque ManagementThe Electronic Torque Management system maximizes power to the groundand prevents the engine from stalling in tough digging and dozing applications formaximum productivity. The system allows part throttle operation which providessmoother machine operation and reduces fuel consumption.Selectable Work Speed ControlThe optional Selectable Work Speed Control lets you select the ground speedthat is best suited for the application. This feature is useful in operations such astrenching and cold planing that require precise machine control at relatively slowand constant speeds.Selectable Hystat Response ControlThe optional Selectable Hystat Response Control lets the operator select one ofthree modes to match the machine’s drive response to the operator’s preference,skill level and application requirements.LiftLinkagesBuilt for tough workingconditions.Choice of Lift DesignsTwo types of lifting arrangements areavailable – vertical lift (path #1 above)and radial lift (path #2) – to meet yourspecific application needs.Vertical LiftThe 262C Series 2 features the verticallift design which provides extended reachand lift height for quick and easy truckloading and material placement. The liftheight is 3233 mm (127 in) on the262C Series 2.Radial LiftThe 246C, with its radial lift design,delivers excellent digging performanceand superior mid-lift reach.

HydraulicsExceptional lift, breakout and power to meet your needs.High Performance Hydraulic SystemMaximum power and reliability are built into the Cat Skid SteerLoader hydraulic system. In addition to providing power to thewheels, this system also powers the loader lift and tilt functions,powers the auxiliary circuit to drive work tools and drives theengine cooling fan. The hydraulic system features: Increased lift and tilt breakout forces allowing you to movemore material and get more done. Continuous demand fan for improved fuel efficiency, increasedhorsepower, reduced sound levels and improved cold weatherperformance. Cat ToughGuard hoses for increased reliability and durability. High capacity hydraulic tank and side-by-side cooling packagekeep components cool for maximum durability.Two Speed OptionTwo speed is available as an option to increase cycle timesand get the job done faster.High Flow XPSSelectable Implement ControlSpeed Sensitive Ride ControlHigh flow XPS hydraulic system isavailable on all models for greater machineversatility. Maximum performance canbe maintained regardless of the work toolspeed or conditions with this load sensing,pressure compensating system. Cat coolingsystems are sized to allow the operator tocontinuously power high flow work toolsin conditions that cause competitivemachines to overheat.The Selectable Implement Controloption with three levels of controlgives the operator the ability to adjustthe responsiveness and speed of the liftand tilt functions for more preciseimplement control.The optional Speed Sensitive RideControl system delivers a smoother rideon uneven terrain for superior comfort.It allows for both higher speed operationand better material retention for increasedproductivity. The system automaticallyturns off when digging or placing a loadfor maximum performance and control.5

Work ToolsDo more jobs with one machine using Cat Work Tools.The Right Tool for the JobDesigned and built for optimum performance anddurability, Cat Work Tools deliver high productivityin a variety of applications to maximize versatility: Augers Backhoes Blades (angle, dozer) Buckets (general purpose, high capacity, dirt,utility, light material, multi purpose, industrialgrapple, utility grapple) Brooms (angle, pickup, utility) Brushcutters Cold Planers Forks (pallet, industrial grapple, utilitygrapple, utility) Hydraulic Hammers Landscape Tillers Landscape Rakes Material Handling Arm Mulchers Power Box Rakes Shear Snow Blowers Stump Grinders Trenchers Vibratory Compactors Wheel SawsQuick CouplersWork tools can be changed quickly and easilywith the Cat Skid Steer Loader’s quick couplersystem. The standard quick coupler features manualengagement and disengagement of work tools usingtwo high leverage handles. The optional hydraulicquick coupler allows the operator to quickly changetools without leaving the cab.AccuGrade Grade Control System for SkidSteer, Multi Terrain and Compact Track LoadersCommon to AccuGrade systems for Track-TypeTractors and Motor Graders, this deeply integratedsolution automates the machine’s electrohydrauliccontrols to achieve a consistent grade across thework site, improve accuracy and increase productivity,ultimately lowering operating and material costs.6

ServiceabilitySimplified service and maintenance save you time and money.Easy ServiceConvenient service features make maintenance easy, reducingyour downtime: Rear door opens 90 degrees for easy access to both sidesof the engine. Cooling package tilts up to provide excellent access to theengine compartment. Cab tilts rearward for easy access to all hydraulic pumps,motors, valves, lines and hydraulic tank.
