Cat’s New 903 Compact Wheel Loader
Caterpillar’s new 903 compact wheel loader gets a 17 per cent boost in power over its predecessor, the 903D, thanks to its Cat C1.7 engine. The engine on the 9,200-pound CWL delivers 48 gross horsepower. The 903D runs on a 42-horsepower C2.4. The power boost improves pushing and grading performance and enables simultaneous use of drive, steer and lift functions, the company says.
Caterpillar says it designed the cab for “all-day comfort” with an easier-to-adjust seat, more legroom, easy entry and exit, and ergonomic pedal position.
A multifunction joystick provides fingertip control of the standard third-function hydraulic system. The system delivers 14.5 gallons per minute of max flow versus the 903D’s 14 gallons per minute, according to Caterpillar. The increased hydraulic power enables such attachments as power box rakes and grapple buckets, Cat says.
For additional attachment performance, customers can swap out the standard mechanical coupler for the optional hydraulic skid steer loader coupler designed for quick attachment changes. Cat also offers an optional work-tool electrical harness for running additional attachments, and engine and ground-speed control for operating brooms and similar tools.
