Reliable & Durable Performance

Reliable & Durable Performance

        
  • The 313 low ground pressure machine has been designed for tough forestry and agricultural applications.
  •     
  • The C3.6 engine and electro-hydraulic system work in sync, allowing you to move large volumes of material without burning too much fuel.
  •     
  • The main hydraulic pump is electronically controlled and provides high fluid for excellent control and productivity.
  •     
  • Digging force has been increased and the swing drive has been redesigned to provide more swing torque and smoothness for improved performance.
  •     
  • A wide and high undercarriage and track provide design a balance of outstanding ground clearance, performance and stability.
  •     
  • A full length deck bumper and heavy-duty bottom guard offer increased protection.
  •     
  • Boom, stick and bucket linkages are reinforced for maximum durability.
Low Owning & Operating Costs

Low Owning & Operating Costs

        
  • Extended and more synchronized maintenance intervals help you get more done at a lower cost.
  •     
  • Three working modes are provided, and the power can be selected according to the specific operation: Smart mode, which can automatically adjust the power according to the demand; Eco mode, which can reduce fuel consumption; Power mode, which can achieve the highest productivity.
  •     
  • Hydraulic and air filter life has been extended, and pilot and case drain filters have been eliminated.
  •     
  • Electric priming pump system automatically prefills the fuel system on start-up, simplifying service and helping to reduce the possibility of air cavitation.
  •     
  • The swing drive is integrated with the hydraulic system, eliminating the need to check or refill a separate oil system.
  •     
  • Refill capacities of both hydraulic oil and engine oil have been reduced with no change in performance or service life.
  •     
  • The Automatic Engine Control (AEC) system lowers engine rpm to idling if there is no operator input for 5 seconds, helping to reduce your fuel costs.
  •     
  • VisionLink® provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.

* Data field availability can vary by equipment manufacturer.
Easy to Use

Easy to Use

        
  • At the touch of fingertips and navigating user-friendly icons, the latest operator oriented User Interface (UI) maximizes uptime and gets crews to work without delay. From re-ordering work tool lists to creating new work tool combinations as needed, operators can quickly set up machines and easily access information.
  •     
  • The interface allows operators to maintain accuracy and makes the most of every second of their shift. Adding the ability to input couplers and attachments into the system makes setting up work tool combinations highly efficient by significantly reducing calibration time. It also eliminates the need to measure up again when changing Cat® work tool attachments and makes it manageable for a single person to check and adjust for bucket wear.
  •     
  • The keyless engine push start is easy to operate.
  •     
  • Electro-hydraulic joysticks require less operator effort and reduce operator fatigue significantly, while at the same time allowing customization of the joystick response and gain settings for maximum controllability.
  •     
  • Quickly navigate through simplified control menus on a high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor.
  •     
  • Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
  •     
  • Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.
