Cat Grade with 2D for excavators that helps operators reach grade faster. Select your target depth and slope and watch the Grade with 2D system use on-board processors and sensors to provide real-time guidance on the distance to grade.
I have a 317 with the Grade Control and a Laser catcher. The laser bench feature is not very accurate, the dealer is telling me I need a laser with at least 900 rpm for it to work correctly. Just an FYI for those looking into this feature.
I've just been getting to grips with these systems on a little 315 today. Had to work out how to re calibrate the bucket position sensor, but once I did, it's an absolute game changer. I've been operating 22 years and am not one of those people who say the likes of "a real operator don't need any of that computer or GPS stuff". I hear that BS from bitter, miserable assholes all the time.
This sounds amazing. I’m curious if it really works well for everyday applications, or if people find they don’t utilize it as much as you originally hoped?? Do you need to pay any sort of subscriptions to use these features?
Okay, what If you travel back, and the machine starts to go up a hill or just one track, starts to move off the level, will you have to re bench Mark??
We got a new 336 and 340 but i tried to used 2D grade control the icons are grey and can't use it, does my company has to do something or is not installed on the machines? Thx
