exceptional power to the bit, enabling the
JT60 All Terrain to be more productive in a
wide range of ground formations.
Last but not least, both the JT60 and the
JT60 All Terrain will come factory-equipped
with the proven Ditch Witch GPS offering at
no additional charge. The Ditch Witch organi-
zation and U.S. Fleet Tracking are providing
the hardware, installation, and one year of
premium service as a special promotion for
JT60 customers. Users of the system can
remotely view engine hours, operational
hours, service reminders, machine location,
and various other performance criteria.
“Knowledge is power,” said Ditch Witch
GPS Product Manager Steve Seabolt. “Users
will gain valuable awareness into opera-
tor practices, idle time, and service needs.
Owners also typically receive a significant
discount off their insurance premiums. We’re
very excited about the JT60 and JT60 owners’
utilization of the GPS system.”

Beginning in 2015, Caterpillar’s new
850,000-square-foot facility in Athens, Ga.,
will produce all Cat E2 Series Mini Hydraulic
Excavators. Additionally, the five compact
radius E2 Series machines—including
the 303.5E2, 304E2, 305E2, 305.5E2, and
308E2—will feature the new High Definition
Hydraulic (HDH) system, which provides a
load-sensing and flow-sharing capability for
operational precision, efficient performance,
and greater controllability.
Redesigned with a new operator station,
the 303.5E2, 304E2, 305E2, and 305.5E2
include a wider entry, suspension seat with
adjustable arm rests, 100 percent pilot con-
trols, and an ergonomic layout for increased
comfort. Additionally, a new interlocking
front window system allows the operator to
lock the bottom pane into the top pane and
raise the full window unit for secure storage
within the cab.
A number of standard features, such as
automatic two-speed, 200-degree bucket
rotation, and blade float, are built into every
Cat mini hydraulic excavator. The two-speed
feature adjusts automatically to balance
speed and torque requirements for improved
control, the 200-degree bucket rotation sim-
plifies vertical wall digging eliminating the
need for repositioning, and the blade float
function drags the blade backwards along
the contour of the ground with only the
weight of the blade for increased productiv-
ity. A unique bucket shape maximizes the
volume of material retention without sacrific-
ing digging performance, and the boom
and stick cylinders have built-in dampening
to cushion the impact of the rod and piston
against the stops.
All E2 Series models are equipped with the
Complete Operation, Maintenance, Perfor-
mance, and Security System (COMPASS) digital
control panel. COMPASS includes a password-
protected, anti-theft system; an automatic
engine-idle selection activated after 4 seconds
of inactivity; and an adjustable auxiliary-flow
control for work tool attachments.
