Spacious, ergonomic operator station and easy-to-use pilot operated joystick controls keep you comfortable throughout the work day. [. . . ] In addition to providing power to the wheels, this system also provides the loader lift and tilt functions, powers the auxiliary circuit to drive work tools and drives the engine cooling fan. The hydraulic pumps are driven directly off the engine for maximum hydraulic performance and reliability ­ no belts are used. The hydraulic system also features: · · Standard auxiliary hydraulics to power work tools that are available through quick connect hydraulic couplings rigidly mounted to the loader arm. Cat ToughGuard XTTM hoses for increased reliability and durability. High Flow Hydraulics High flow hydraulic system is available on the 226B Series 3 for greater machine versatility. High Efficiency Cooling System Cooling capacity is maximized through the use of a side-by-side cooling package and hydraulically driven cooling fan. · · · High-efficiency, hydraulic oil cooler lets the machine work longer and harder in higher ambient temperatures, even with continuous work tool usage. Efficient, hydraulically driven cooling fan provides cooling even when the machine is under load. Optional variable speed demand fan provides improved fuel efficiency, increased machine performance, reduced sound levels and improved cold weather performance. 4 Power Train Cat Engine Aggressive performance with fuel efficiency. The high performance power train provides high engine horsepower and torque. The B-Series 3 machines feature rugged, reliable Cat engines that meet U. S. EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIA emissions requirements. Hand and Foot Throttles Hand and foot throttles allow the operator to match engine speed to the task. The hand throttle is ideal for jobs requiring constant engine speed such as cold planing, trenching or snow blowing. The foot throttle lets the operator vary engine speed and minimize fuel consumption for other tasks such as load and carry, truck loading, grading and dozing. Anti-Stall Feature The anti-stall system maximizes machine power at all times by matching the engine torque with the operational requirements of the hystat and implement systems. This load sensing feature prevents the engine from stalling even during part throttle operation, keeping productivity high and fuel consumption low. Lift Linkages Built for tough jobs. Choice of Lift Designs Two types of lifting arrangements are available ­ vertical lift (path #1 above) and radial lift (path #2) ­ to meet your specific application needs. Two Speed Option Two speed is available as an option on the 236B Series 3, 242B Series 3 and 252B Series 3 Skid Steer Loader to increase cycle times and get the job done faster. Vertical Lift The 242B Series 3 and 252B Series 3 feature the vertical lift design which provides extended reach and lift height for quick and easy truck loading and material placement.
