y' New feature
Pilot Operated Gontrols
Low ffirt and comfortable controls reduce fatigue, increase the viewing area and give the
operator more legroom.
Joystick Gontrols. Standard
excavator-style j oysticks provide
smooth modulation and are
ergonomically designed for low effort
control and operator comfort. As a
result of this control design, legroom is
increased and the rearward viewin g arca
is greater.
Pattern Changer Valve. The hydraulic
excavator control pattern is standard.
An optional pattern changer makes
switching between backhoe and
excavator control patterns as easy as
loosening and moving a bolt on the side
of the machine.
Pilot 0perated Stabi lizer Gontrols.
These provide low effort and fine
modulation control. The stabilizer
controls are within easy reach of the
operator when operating the backhoe.
Pilot Gontrol Pods. Located on the left
and right sides, the controls can move
fore and aft and three stops ate available
for ergonomically correct positioning.
Loader Performance
Single-titt or integrated toolcarrier loaders offer solid performance and mucimum versatility.

Loader Linkage. The standard single-tilt

loader features increased lift and
breakout forces. The optional
integrated toolcarrier loader provides
even higher forces, as well as parallel
lift for efficient loading and material
handling. A return-to-dig system makes
operation easy and improves cYcle
times.

Ouick Goupler. Provides versatility and

allows quick connection to selected
work tools for the Cat family of
integrated toolcarriers. Most work tools
can be changed in less than 30 seconds
from the comfort of the operator station.
Disconnects. New flat face, hydraulic
hose quick disconnect fittings with a
connect-under-pressure feature improve
the connection of hydraulic work tools.

Loader Gontrols. The 420D IT has a
standard single lever, pilot-operated
loader control for proportional control
and fine modulation of the hydraulic
work tools. A thumb control on toP
operates auxiliary hydraulic functions
such as the clam bucket and two buttons
control hydraulic broom angle.
Reverse Signal System. Pump control
changes improve power management
between the loader hydraulic system
and machine rimpull for faster truck
loading. The new reverse signal system
provides priority to backhoe hydraulics
to maximize hydraulic horsepower.
Backhoe Performance
High rotation linkage and increased dig forces boost productivity.

High Rotation Backhoe Linkage. Single
pin bucket linkage contributes to best-
in-class rotation of 205 degrees for all
applications, eliminating the need to
change pin position when moving from
loading trucks to vertical wall
trenching.
Backhoe Boom. The excavator-style
boom features box section fabrication
with internal stiffeners for better
balance and weight distribution. The
curved design provides additional
clearance over obstacles while digging a
trench or truck loading. The narrow
boom enhances the viewin g area to the
bucket and trench throughout the entire
operating range.
Extendible Stick. This optional backhoe
attachment replaces the standard stick
and increases reach and dig depth by
approximately I.2 meters (4 feet). The
extendible stick uses eight self-
lubricated, non-metallic wear pads
which can be shimmed or replaced.
Improved wear pad materials increase
wear life in all conditions.
Dig Forces. The 420D boom, stick and
bucket dig forces have increased ten
percent over the 416C.
Buckets and Gouplers
Redesigned buckets with the Diagonal Retention System contribute to increased durability
and greater p erformanc e.
L&
&L
Bucket Line. Expansion of the bucket
line includes rock and coral bucket
designs. All D-Series buckets are
painted black and caffy the Cat logo.
Standard Duty Bucket. Used in easy-to-
penetrate, low-impact, moderately
abrasive materials.
Heavy Duty Bucket. Used for a wide
variety of soil conditions such as semi-
rocky soil and hard bank material.
High Gapacity Bucket. Same durable
construction as the Heavy Duty bucket
for tough materials but longer tip radius
provides increased bucket capacity.
Heavy Duty Rock Bucket. Specifically
designed to address harsh, rocky
conditions and capable of digging in
granite, caliche and rocky soil.
Bucket lmprovements. New D-Series
buckets have an excavator profile with
improved till characteristics. The
scalloped bucket sides also provide
improved material clamping. 0uick Gouplers. Allow for quick
attachment of buckets and other work
tools. The D-series High Rotation pin
grabber design and a C-Series
compatible pin grabber allow buckets to
be changed without removing the
bucket pins. Other manufacturers'
buckets can be coupled with a pin puller
coupler, one for Case and D-Series
buckets or one for John Deere and D-
Series buckets. D-Series quick couplers
are painted black for easy identification.
Diagonal Retention System. Bucket
teeth are attached with diagonal pins
rather than horizontal pins for easy
exchange of bucket teeth. The adapters
are stronger as a result of this diagonal
pinning and additional we ar material on
the bucket teeth increases durability.
Lift Eye. An integral lifting eye is a
standard feature of the bucket linkage.
