Sound Levels
Note (1) The operator sound exposure Leq (equivalent sound pressure level) measured according to the work cycle procedures specified in ANSI/SAE J1166 OCT98 is 72 dB(A), for the cab offered by Caterpillar, when properly installed and maintained and tested with the doors and windows closed.
Note (2) Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operator station and cab (when not properly maintained or doors/windows open) for extended periods or in noisy environments.
Engine
Note (1) The power ratings apply at rated speed of 1,800 rpm when tested under the conditions for the specified standard.
Note (2) The net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with alternator, air cleaner, muffler and fan at minimum speed.
Emissions The 730 meets either Tier 2/Stage II or Tier 3/Stage IIIA equivalent emission standards.
Note (3) Net power when the fan is at maximum speed is 254 kW (341 hp) per the SAE reference conditions.
Body Plate Thickness

Optimal Loader/Truck Pass Matching
Wheel Loaders: 972M/972M XE - Passes 3u20134
Note An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. The 730 is an excellent match for the Cat 349F and 336F Hydraulic Excavators; and Cat 972M, 966M, 962M and 950M Wheel Loaders. Having matched loading and hauling tools results in increased production and lower system costs per unit of volume moved.
