Features May Include:

Achieve comfort and increased productivity in a spacious cab

• Quietly go about your business – Viscous cab mounts, rear acoustical glass, and extensive insulation effectively isolate operators from vibration and noise.
• Calm, cool, and collected – Air conditioning is standard. Numerous directional vents keep the glass clear and interior comfortable, while the pressurized cab keeps outside contaminants to a minimum.
• Sit back and relax – Standard high-back air-suspension seat adjusts multiple ways for all day comfort and support. A deluxe heated and leather-bolstered seat is optional.
• Simple conveniences – A 12-volt power port, tinted windows, and AM/FM/Weather-Band (WB) radio and clock make it easy for operators to settle in and stay focused on the task at hand.

Eliminate downtime with increased serviceability

• Built to last – Heavy-duty undercarriage is sealed and lubricated for maximum wear resistance.
• Diagnostic messaging – Easy-to-navigate liquid-crystal display (LCD) monitor displays diagnostic messages if problems occur and offers possible solutions to get back up and running quickly.
• Free of debris – Swing-out side shields and tilt-out grille enable access to both sides of the coolers for low effort debris removal.
• Quad-Cool™ system – Quad-Cool™ places the radiator, air-conditioner condenser, intercooler, and hydraulic, transmission, and axle coolers in a boxed configuration that is isolated from engine heat.
• Easy to read – Hydrostatic and hydraulic pressures can be read via the in-cab monitor, making it easy for operators and technicians to check important system pressures.

Increase functionality of the loader with single- or three-lever controls

• HST Advantages - Full power turns and infinitely variable track speeds provide unlimited maneuverability and optimum control.
• Choice of controls – Single-lever joystick or two- or three-lever hydraulic controls, Joystick F-N-R, or V-pattern transmission lever with steering pedals
• Smooth operator – Smooth, predictable-response controls virtually eliminate jerky and abrupt movements.
• Push-button throttle – Control the throttle in full or incremental adjustments using buttons on the sealed switch module (SSM).

Maximum fuel economy without loss of performance

• More power – With the change to FT4, horsepower has increased to 155hp on the 655 P-Tier and 194hp on the 755 P-Tier.
• Eco mode – Standard Eco mode automatically adjusts engine power and transmission settings based on load while maintaining ground speed, optimizing fuel economy while maintaining performance.
• Fuel efficiency – Auto-idle reduces engine speed when the machine is not moving and no functions are activated, and auto shutdown automatically turns the engine off after an operator-determined period of inactivity.

Power management and infinite speed control

• Easy control – Low-effort controls command the full-featured HST drivetrain, providing smooth, predictable responses at all times, across all conditions.
• Adjustable Transmission and Hydraulic Settings – Allows operators to customize operating characteristics and response for superb, one-of-a-kind control.
• Constant power to both tracks - Allows operators to carry heavy loads through turns and counter-rotate both tracks while in gear and in neutral.
• Peak performance – Simply set maximum desired ground speed, and the power-management system automatically maintains peak engine rpm and power efficiency without stalling or shifting.
