Note
An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. The 730 is an excellent match for the Cat 350/352 and 336 Hydraulic Excavators and Cat 972, 966, 962, and 950 Wheel Loaders. Having matched loading and hauling tools results in increased production and lower system costs per unit of volume moved.

Sound Levels
Note (1)
The declared dynamic operator sound pressure level is 70 +/- 1 when ISO 6396:2008 is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. The measurement was conducted at 70% of the cooling fan’s maximum speed. The sound level may vary at different cooling fan speeds. The measurement was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed. The cab was properly installed and maintained.
Note (2)
Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operator station and cab or when not properly maintained or with doors/windows open for extended periods or in noisy environments.
