Caterpillar 297D MTL Compact Track Loader

Equipped with a dual-suspension undercarriage, the Cat 297D and 297D XHP multiterrain loaders, compared with their C Series predecessors, feature a completely new modular cab; redesigned vertical-lift loader linkage with Cat Intelligent Leveling; larger engines; and new electronic controls, including Caterpillar’s Advanced Display available with a rearview camera. Rated operating capacities (50 percent of tip load) are 4,550 and 5,000 pounds, respectively, and the new Tier 4-Interim Cat C3.8 DIT engine develops net ratings of 95 and 106 horsepower. The Advanced Display (standard for the 297D XHP) enables on-screen adjustment of implement response, hydrostatic-drive response, and creep-control speed.
