A sonic tracer and cross-slope system is available for use with Bobcat’s larger skid steer grader attachments. Whereas the laser-guided systems require a laser transmitter and can only follow a plane of light, the sonic/slope system will follow the terrain below the sonic tracer (mounted on one side) and maintain a consistent cross-slope that has been predetermined. This system also works well on jobsites in which the transmitter may not have complete visibility to the receivers at all times. Sonic tracer Mounted on either side of the moldboard, the sonic tracer uses ultra sonic signals to maintain a distance between it and an object below such as a stringline, previous pass, or curb and cutter. The sonic tracer only moves the elevation cylinder for the side of the blade on which it is mounted. Cross-Slope Sensor This sensor moves the opposite side of the blade to maintain a set cross slope that was entered by the operator. The cross-slope sensor only moves the elevation cylinder on the opposite side of the sonic tracer. Delux Instrumentation Panel The panel allows the operator to set the parameters of the grading system while providing real-time information such as distance-to-target for both elevation and slope. The panel saves money and valuable cab space. Operation The operator places the sonic tracer over the top of the object he wishes to use as a reference and sets the blade depth as needed.

• Automatic Control: Requires less operator input while providing better accuracy, reduced operator fatigue and faster travel speeds.
• Fingertip Controls: Mounted on the carrier’s steering levers, fingertip controls provide quick and easy access to make elevation changes or switch the automatic function on or off, delivering precise and accurate results with maximum operator comfort.
• Manual Override Function: While in automatic mode, if the operator pushes a switch to move the blade up or down, automatic mode is momentarily interrupted. When the operator releases the switch the system immediately returns to automatic mode.
