Features at a Glance

High Performance Power Train: High performance power train delivers maximum performance and production capability as well as standard two speed travel.

Redesigned Operator Station: Redesigned operator station delivers a larger operating environment. Combined with additional seat travel, the 270 XE provides more space for operators of any size. The optional one-piece, sealed, and pressurized cab offers a clean and quiet workspace with excellent air distribution through optimally placed vents throughout the cab.

Ventilated and Heated High-Back Air Ride Seat: Available ventilated and heated high-back air ride seat and seat-mounted adjustable joystick controls deliver superior operator comfort.

XE Hydraulic System: The XE Hydraulic System provides the highest flow and highest pressure in the Cat Skid Steer Loader line-up to deliver industry leading hydraulic horsepower to efficiently run even the most power hungry attachments.

High Horsepower, High Torque Engine: Electronically controlled Cat C3.6TA (turbocharged, aftercooled) engine delivers maximum horsepower across a wide RPM range and provides high torque for increased working performance, no matter the application. The engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.

Ride Control: Speed sensitive ride control option improves operation on rough terrain, enabling better load retention, increased productivity, and greater operator comfort.

Advanced Touchscreen Monitor: The 20.3 cm (8-inch) Advanced Touchscreen Monitor offers cutting-edge functionality and control that includes an integrated radio, Bluetooth® connectivity, and multi-camera (side-view) option, and supports 32 different language choices.

Advanced Joysticks: The Advanced Joysticks provide unmatched control of machine functions and adjustments within the display without having to remove your hands from the controls. This includes on-joystick navigation of the Advanced Touchscreen Monitor, radio volume up/down/mute, creep activation, creep on/off, creep speed increment/decrement, one-button Smart Attachment control activation, and additional auxiliary control buttons that deliver single-button control of complex attachment functions.

Ground-Level Access: Ground-level access to all daily service and routine maintenance points helps reduce machine downtime for greater productivity.

Cat Attachments: The broad range of performance matched Cat Attachments makes the Cat Skid Steer Loader the most versatile machine on the job site.
