Call Caterpillar Quick!
And explain how they've been doing it "all wrong" for 70 years. The D-8R I looked at a year or so ago has lasers, a genuine computer and GPS all integrated. Plus shunts and energy monitors. And a BIG battery switch in the chassis negative cable.
Caterpillar got to build it from the ground up. They had a chance to make it that way.
Ground cables are usually short and not easy to get to, but the positive side is usually out in the clear. Putting the switch in the positive cable gives a place to add connections WITHOUT a stack up on the battery terminal.
