How to Use 2D Grade Control on Cat Excavator

Cat Grade with 2D for excavators that helps operators reach grade faster. Select your target depth and slope and watch the Grade with 2D system use on-board processors and sensors to provide real-time guidance on the distance to grade.

I've just been getting to grips with these systems on a little 315 today. Had to work out how to re calibrate the bucket position sensor, but once I did, it's an absolute game changer. I've been operating 22 years and am not one of those people who say the likes of "a real operator don't need any of that computer or GPS stuff". I hear that BS from bitter, miserable assholes all the time.

How do you recalibrate the bucket position sensor?

[@master_vator]

Okay, what If you travel back, and the machine starts to go up a hill or just one track, starts to move off the level, will you have to re bench Mark??

[@JerichoRally]

Yes. Each time the machine is moved, you have to establish benchmark.

[@Jrode88]

Yea and a button on the right joystick can set new bench mark

[@buck4mt]

This sounds amazing. I’m curious if it really works well for everyday applications, or if people find they don’t utilize it as much as you originally hoped?? Do you need to pay any sort of subscriptions to use these features?

I have a 317 with the Grade Control and a Laser catcher. The laser bench feature is not very accurate, the dealer is telling me I need a laser with at least 900 rpm for it to work correctly. Just an FYI for those looking into this feature.

We got a new 336 and 340 but i tried to used 2D grade control the icons are grey and can't use it, does my company has to do something or is not installed on the machines? Thx

[@montel20000]

Did you figure it out, I’m having the same issue?

[@justinburnett1597]

How do you turn grade control/grade assist on if your dealer has turned it off

[@jrexcavatingsons]
