The hydraulic system pressure has been increased on the 320D/320D RR to 35 000 kPa (5,076 psi)
from 34 300 kPa (4,975 psi), which is an increase of 2%. The increased hydraulic pressure gives
the 320D/320D RR advantages over the 320C/320C U in the following areas:

More Drawbar Pull

The drawbar pull of the 320D/320D RR has been increased 2% (+4 kN [900 lb]) over the 320C/320C U.
The additional drawbar pull will increase the machines capabilities in the following functions:

• Performance traveling up slopes

• Easier spot turns

• Better travel capabilities in poor underfoot conditions

Increased Lift Capacity

The overall lift capacity of the 320D/320D RR has been increased by an average of 2% over the
320C/320C U. Over the front, the excavator is generally limited to its hydraulic capacity, so increasing
pressures will give those points in the working envelope additional lift capacity. Over the side is generally
limited by stability (track comes off the rollers), so increasing pressures will only affect overall lift over
the side minimally.

320D/320D RR – More Seat Options 320C/320C U – More Seat Options

The 320D/320D RR seat offerings build upon the
C-Series offering and gives the choice of several
different options:
• Mechanic suspension (high or low back) –
similar to the 320C seat providing very good
comfort to the operator.
The 320C/320C U offered a new standard
mechanical suspension seat that provides different
levels of firmness in the cushioning. The dark gray
areas are firmer and provide support to the operator.
The light gray is less firm and conforms to the
operator shape. The combination of both cushion
types provides maximum comfort to the operator.

• Air suspension – the air suspension further

enhances the operator comfort.

• Air suspension with heater – for those colder

climates, the heater provides additional heat
to the operator.

Note – not all seats available in all markets

Spring Recoil System

The Spring Recoil System relieves abnormal track tension that results from mud packing or when material
gets stuck between the tracks and the sprockets. Extensive tension appears when the spring recoil is at
maximum stroke which could lead to final drive breakage, idler breakage or undercarriage frame bending.
The Spring Recoil System stroke on the 320D/320D RR has been increased 26% (45 mm to 57 mm [1.8 in
to 2.2 in]), which allows sufficient clearance between the track and the sprocket, plus preserves the
undercarriage components and frame.

The B-Family linkage has not changed pin diameters or boss width, so work tools utilized on the
320C/320C U should remain compatible. The Mass stick has had a pin diameter increase to 90 mm/90 mm
(3.5 in/3.5 in) from 80 mm/80 mm (3.1 in/3.1 in) in order to provide a robust design due to the increases
in forces and power (associated with the 324D/325D).
