There are now 16 new D3 Series skid steer loader (SSL) and compact tracked loader (CTL) models.

The machines offer advanced attachment technology, which the firm claims will allow the D3 Series Cat SSL and CTL models to automatically recognise Smart Attachments and convert machine controls to align with the operational and informational needs of that attachment.

High performance XE variants are also available to operate attachments with high flow requirements, such as planers.
