LATEST FEATURES
Cab Monitor Improvements
        
  1.  Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    2.     
  2. Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
High Performance with Lower Fuel Consumption
  • Use less fuel versus the 330D MH with no impact on your productivity.
  • The C9.3B engine can run on biodiesel up to B20 and meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards.
  • Match the machine to the job with three power modes - Power, Smart, and Eco. Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to working conditions, providing max power when needed and reducing power when it isn't to save fuel.
Work in Comfort in the All-New Cab
        
  • Choose between Deluxe and Premium cab options.
    •     
  • The Deluxe seat is heated and air adjustable, while the Premium seat is heated and ventilated and adjusts automatically.
