Cat GRADE with Slope Assist™ provides basic blade positioning assistance without added hardware or a GPS signal.AutoCarry™ is included with GRADE with 3D to automate blade lift to maintain desired blade load, improving load consistency and reducing track slip. Android OS platform allows installation of custom apps for more versatility. A more intuitive GRADE operator interface works like a smartphone, making it easy for operators to pick up quickly. Smaller antennas are integrated into the cab roof for even better protection and GPS receivers are mounted inside so they can be secured by locking the cab doors.

Overall visibility is enhanced with about 15% more cab glass area, plus a steeper hood angle that provides 30% better forward visibility to the blade and worksite. A standard High Definition rearview camera shows prominently in the main display. Operators will find more space, multiple seat and control adjustments for optimal comfort and a new, easy-to-use 254-mm (10-in) touchscreen operator interface.
