2025 Caterpillar Track Loaders 973

Save money and transport time with one rugged machine that does it all – land clearing, digging, grading, truck loading, slope work and more. Crawler loaders give you lower ground pressure and better traction so you can start the job sooner, and work longer, in all kinds of underfoot conditions. Cat® Track Loaders give you all this, plus outstanding performance and fuel efficiency.

Features may include:

• Largest track loader in the industry provides the power, breakout force and capacity to take on tough construction utility, forestry and quarry jobs.

• Track loader power, traction and agility mean you can use one machine and one operator to do everything from clearing the site to installing utilities and finishing around buildings.

• Fusion™ Quick Coupler option lets you make fast attachment changes with a wide range of tools like forks, buckets, etc. from wheel loaders and other Fusion compatible machines.

• Bucket/tooth, undercarriage, track shoe and attachment choices help you equip your machine for optimal performance in your applications.

• Purpose-built Waste Handler, Low Ground Pressure (LGP), Ship Hold and Steel Mill configurations stand up to the toughest tasks.

• 973 uses up to 10% less fuel per hour than the previous model.

• Larger fuel tank means you can work longer before refueling.

• Automatic, Eco and Power modes match performance to the job for optimal efficiency.

• Performance Series bucket option boosts productivity up to 20% compared to General Purpose bucket.

• Cat Payload* technology delivers precise bucket load information with on-the-go weighing. More accurate loading reduces cycle times to help save time, labor and fuel costs.
