INTRODUCTION
The 246C/256C/262C/272C Skid Steer Loaders, the 277C/287C/297C Multi Terrain Loaders
and the 279C/289C/299C Compact Terrain Loaders are the latest generation of Caterpillar Skid
Steer Loaders and Multi-Terrain Loaders retaining many of the proven features of the "B"
Series machines along with additional performance and many design improvements.
The hydrostatic drive system and work tool hydraulic system are electronically controlled by
the Machine Electronic Control Module (ECM). The Machine ECM controls all the functions
that the Operator Interlock ECM and Auxiliary Hydraulic ECM controlled on the "B" Series
machines. The Machine ECM controls additional functions in the "C" Series machines.
The high flow XPS hydraulic system is now optional on all 246C/256C/262C/272C Skid Steer
Loaders, 277C/287C/297C Multi Terrain Loaders and 279C/289C/299C Compact Terrain
Loaders.
Ride Control has been added as an option on all "C" Series SSL machines.
This presentation discusses the new components and features of the 246C/256C/262C/272C
Skid Steer Loaders, the 277C/287C/297C Multi Terrain Loaders and the 279C/289C/299C
Compact Terrain Loaders.
The "C" Series product line brings significant improvements in performance, operator comfort,
controllability, versatility, and styling.
