Engine and Hydraulics
The Cat® 3066TA engine and hydraulics give the 320D exceptional power, fuel efficiency,
controllability unmatched in the industry for consistently high performance in all applications.

The layout further provides greater

operator comfort by placing the radiator
on the cab side of the upper structure.
This allows incoming air to enter the
engine compartment from the operator
side and hot air and corresponding
engine sound to exit on the opposite
side away from the operator. This reduces
engine compartment heat and sound
being transmitted to the operator.
Pilot System. The pilot pump is
independent from the main pumps and
controls the front linkage, swing and
travel operations.
Hydraulic Cross Sensing System.
The hydraulic cross sensing system
utilizes each of two hydraulic pumps
to 100 percent of engine power, under
all operating conditions. This improves
productivity with faster implement
speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Valve. The auxiliary
valve is standard on the 320D. Control
Circuits are available as attachments,
allowing for operation of high and
medium pressure tools such as shears,
grapples, hammers, pulverizers,
multi-processors and vibratory plate
