Protecting Your Investment from Top to Bottom

Maintaining the undercarriage on a small dozer typically makes up about 50% of the machine's total owning and operating costs. Your new dozer is equipped with a planetary final drive, a guard roll and an undercarriage tailored to your application to limit wear and lower maintenance costs.

Put the Care in Undercarriage

Topnotch preventative maintenance starts underneath in the undercarriage. Be sure to check your undercarriage components regularly to prevent excessive wear. Here’s a quick refresher course on how to maintain pins and bushings.

Prevent excess wear and tear on your machine by routinely clearing material buildup from its undercarriage. This task only takes a shovel and a few minutes, but goes a long way to preserve your tracks.

Control at Your Fingertips

Tackle any job with flying colors. The 10” Color Touchscreen offers Slope Indicate/Slope Assist screens to help you get the best grades on the job site. Contact your dealer about the benefits of adding this optional screen to your small dozer.
