Caterpillar offers a new control feature that allows operators — from novice to expert skill level — to run a Cat C-Series skid-steer, multi-terrain or compact-track loader safely, productively and comfortably. The new Hystat Response Control System uses software that permits the loader’s hydrostatic drive/steer system to be adjusted to one of three response rates — standard, intermediate or maximum — to determine how rapidly the machine accelerates/decelerates and how quickly it responds to steering commands. Each of the new control system’s successive settings results in more aggressive response, permitting skilled operators to use the machine to its full potential, while at the same time accommodating operators of lesser experience.
