If you’re considering purchasing one of the new Caterpillar® M-Series motor graders you’re probably wondering how well the Topcon automatics you’ve used profitably over the years is going to work on this new blade, especially with all of the misinformation being passed around on this subject?  Well, the answer is – it works great!  The truth is that with the changes that have been made on these machines Cat® has made it even easier for us to install our system because we no longer have to install separate hydraulics – we just install a little box we call the VSU (Valve Switching Unit).  What that means for you is:

• Lower cost – no separate hydraulics
• Lower cost – no CAT activation fee required for the automatics
• Flexibility - it works on all M Series machine (ARO & non-ARO)
• Flexibility – it works with both 3D and System V controls

You'll be pleased to know that Topcon California is working closely with the Central Valley Caterpillar® dealer by providing them with a Topcon 3D Control System on their demo M Series motor grader - if you're planning to demo their blade be sure to ask for it when you do
