![]() ![]() And Hill Hold automatically engages the brakes to hold you in position while you’re in neutral. Hill Descent Control maintains your speed when cresting a hill and heading down without the need to jump on the service brake. The extra weight and power add up to a 4.5 percent increase in drawbar pull and 2.5 percent improvement in productivity, says Meeker.Ĭat also put together a package of enhancements it calls “enhanced power train control” to drive additional efficiency in dozing operations with the D5. In similar fashion the Traction Control temporarily reduces track power when slippage is detected so you can adjust the blade load to prevent productivity-robbing slippage. The Blade Load Monitor detects sudden changes in speed and/or track slippage and shifts down to keep the load under power. ![]() These tap into information coming from an additional GPS sensor. The D5’s new technology features include Blade Load Monitor and Traction Control. You can program the values you want on the screen and even let go of the joystick and the machine will continue on the slope parameters set on the screen. With Slope Assist, your fore-aft tilt and side-to-side blade angle show up on a monitor in the cab. It basically does the same thing as the old, gravity-based angle indicator gauges except you don’t have to eyeball the gauge on the back of the blade. Slope Assist automatically maintains a blade slope setting when you don’t have a GPS signal or laser to guide you. These small efficiencies, over the course of a day also add up to improved productivity.
