The 953D and 963D track-type loaders are powered by the Cat C6.6 ACERT Technology engine that delivers 148 hp (110 kW) in the 953D and 189 hp (141 kW) in the 963D. Power is up by more than 15 percent in the 953D and more than 25 percent in the 963D when compared to the C-Series models.
The 6.6-litre six-cylinder engine uses ACERT Technology, a series of Caterpillar engineered innovations that provide advanced electronic control, precise fuel delivery and refined air management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower emissions. Engine emissions meet US EPA Tier III standards. The engine delivers constant net power; it automatically adjusts its power output if the fan or the air conditioning is running at full performance.
The 953D and 963D feature a load sensing electro-hydraulic implement system. The implement pump provides only the required flow to the work tool and lift arms – allowing more power for the tracks when needed and increased fuel efficiency. The electro-hydraulic implement controls provide the operator with responsive, smooth and precise control. Choice of a joystick or two-lever control is available for bucket lift and dump. The lift and bucket cylinders are all equipped with position sensors. These allow the operator to set bucket kick-outs and lift kick-outs directly from the cab with a switch. End-of-cylinder travel snubbing smoothes cylinder travel deceleration to minimize shocks to the operator and the whole machine. The electronically controlled hydrostatic drive provides quick response for shorter cycle times, increased productivity and reduced fuel consumption. It automatically matches machine travel speed to the combined travel and implement loads on the machine, enabling maximum travel speed, up to the speed selected by the operator. The cab is designed for operator comfort, convenience and good sight lines to the work area. In particular, the air-suspension seat, with a side-to-side isolator, is ergonomically designed, fully adjustable and vibration-isolated for maximum operator comfort and control. The seat-mounted electro-hydraulic controls provide less vibration for the operator, and they allow combined seat and controls adjustment. The cab is sealed and pressurized to maintain a clean, comfortable environment.
