Ergonomic Layout



The controls and layout of the cab are designed to make it as easy to operate as your car. Quick, easy to read and simple to operate, the controls and gauges on the 725 allow the operator to concentrate on production.

Dash



The Generation II wraparound dash puts all controls within easy reach of the operator. Featuring LED illuminated rocker switches, large LCD display and a rear wash wipe rocker switch. It provides an automotive feel with the industrial strength you would expect from Caterpillar.

Viewing Area



The low sloping hood and placement of the cooling package behind the cab give the operator excellent allaround visibility. The large glass area and central operator position also provide excellent visibility.

Wipers



The wet arm wiper system cleans more glass area and is bottommounted to keep it out of the operators line of sight. Windows are tinted to reduce glare.

Differential Lock Controls



The interaxle differential lock can be engageddisengaged onthego by using a raised switch incorporated into the drivers foot rest, for ease of operation. For 100 lock up, all three crossaxle differential locks act in unison with the interaxle differential lock when the foot switch is activated and a dash mounted switch is selected. Disengaging the foot switch opens all differential locks immediately.

Transmission and Hoist Levers



The hoist lever provides easy, comfortable operation. The transmission lever offers excellent comfort, and control for top gear limit, transmission hold and neutral lock.

Suspended Pedals



Easy to operate and reach with plenty of leg and foot room. They also make for easier cleaning of the cab floor by keeping the pedals out of the dirt.
