REMOTE CONTROL READY

When dozers work in hazardous mining and earthmoving
applications, the Command for Dozing option helps improve safety
and efficiency. Operators control the machine using a line-of-
sight console or a remote operator station. Deep integration with
machine systems enables smooth, precise control for maximum
efficiency and productivity.

With the line-of-sight console, take advantage of the dozer's

built-in operator assist features. The remote operator station
also allows full use of technology features like Grade with 3D and
