• Extended fluid fill intervals with minimal use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) also referred to as Adblue™ with an average of four fuel tank fills per DEF fill.
• Configurable auto idle shut down based on time and ambient temperature to further reduce fuel burn and keep operating costs low.
• Spark arrestor performance as standard – Meets performance requirements of EN 1834-1.2000 (section 6.4.2 Visual Test).

Lock up and go with fully locking front differential axles that can be engaged on the move at full torque with a pull of the seat mounted joystick trigger. Maximize your traction with optional Limited Slip Differential on the rear axle to keep you climbing.

The Caterpillar patented optimized Z-bar linkage combines the digging efficiency of a traditional Z-bar with integrated tool carrier capabilities for great performance and versatility.

• Perfect Parallelism functionality available in Fork Mode gives truly predictable performance while high tilt forces throughout the working range help you safely and confidently handle loads with precise control.
• Visibility to bucket corners and fork tips at ground level remain excellent while sight lines at maximum lift are improved with a Generation II lift arm design.
• Lift higher and reach further with optional High Lift linkage available on all three models.

Performance Series Buckets deliver up to 10% higher fill factors compared to previous models, better material retention for significant productivity and fuel efficiency improvements. The buckets feature a longer floor to take a bigger bite of the pile, an open throat to heap higher and curved side bars to help with material retention. This optimized shape is echoed across the General Purpose, Light Material and High Dump bucket families.

M Series machines feature an electro-hydraulic control system that is governed by the Intelligent Power Management system for peak efficiency. The load-sensing, variable flow system senses work demand and adjusts flow and pressure to match the operators request.

• Multi-Function without compromise through dedicated hydraulic systems featuring one pump for the Intelligent Hydrostatic drive, a 2nd pump for the implements, and a 3rd pump for the steering system. Drive, Lift and Steer simultaneously with smooth predictable control. The M Series simply does what you ask it to.
• Programmable in-cab kick-outs are easy to set on the go for tilt, lower and lift. This feature is ideal for applications where the work cycle is repeatable, allowing you to quickly return to programmed set points such as ground and level.
• Fine tune hydro-mechanical performance with fully adjustable 3rd and 4th function flow through the secondary display (when equipped) for a perfect marriage between machine and work tool.

• Seat-mounted controls featuring a low effort joystick for lift and tilt functions along with integrated Forward/Neutral/Reverse switch, differential lock trigger and optional third and fourth auxiliary functions.
• Superior all around visibility with single piece front windshield, new parabolic external mirrors, redesigned Generation II linkage and clean hydraulic lines routing.
• Automatic climate control with heated rear glass and external mirrors for a quick defrost.
• Fully adjustable controls including steering column, joystick and seat suspension.
• Information at a glance with large primary LCD display and optional full color touch screen display.
• An extra eye on the job site with optional integrated rear object detection and optional* rearview camera.
• A heated and cooled seat option for added comfort in a wide range of climates.

*Standard in Europe

• A spacious, safe, quiet operator environment featuring ergonomic controls, seat belt notification and optional bluetooth radio with integrated microphone plus an MP3 port.
• Easy access to vital machine parameters with the optional* secondary display that works in conjunction with the standard soft touch panel to allow real time adjustments to machine features and an integrated help button with over 25 languages.
• Comfortable soft stops at cylinder end stroke conditions and programmed kick-out points with Caterpillar's exclusive electro-hydraulic cylinder snubbing.
• An even smoother ride with optional Ride Control when working unloaded and loaded with excellent material retention.
• Early starts and late finishes are made easier with optional LED lighting package that includes engine compartment lighting to illuminate the way for checking oil and coolant level, along with re-fueling the machine in dark conditions.

*Standard in Europe

Work as one with your machine by customizing controls.

A smooth, step-less electronically controlled hydrostatic transmission provides adjustable power to the ground with excellent groundspeed control and customizable feel.

• Select your Power Train Mode:
  – Torque Converter (TC) for smooth rollout.
  – Hystat for aggressive engine braking.
  – Ice to maximize control on snow and ice.
  – Default blends the best of Hystat and Torque Converter characteristic.
• Reduce tire wear using Rimpull control which enables you to match available tractive power to underfoot conditions.
• Fine tune ground speed when using work tools such as brooms, snow blowers and brush cutters with Creeper Control.
• Set Directional Shift Response, soft and smooth for material handling applications or sharp for aggressive operation.

Easily customize hydraulic performance to meet your needs.

• Optimize hydraulic modulation with Fine Mode control when working with forks, material handling arms, and large tools.
• Quicker hydraulic response for fine grading at speed and agriculture applications through Lift and Tilt response settings.
• Fully adjustable ride control activation speed along with 3rd and 4th function auxiliary flows.

• The M Series Wheel Loaders will remember you and your personal settings with unique operator codes to make this machine truly yours and keep it secure.

• Seat, deluxe or premium
• Deluxe cab (with touch screen display)
