Structures are designed to last quick and smooth operation, superior throughout the extended service life of maneuverability and comfortable the D6K. 6 Serviceability and Accessibility Grouped service points allow for efficient checks and maintenance, from the ground level. [. . . ] The track adjuster and mechanical recoil spring and grease filled adjustment cylinder which allows the idler to move forward and back to maintain proper track tension as it absorbs undercarriage shock. LGP (Low Ground Pressure) arrangement · · Specially designed to work in soft underfoot conditions. Wide track shoes, a longer track frame and a wider gauge increase track contact area and reduce ground pressure for excellent flotation. SystemOneTM Undercarriage. Exclusively for Caterpillar machines the design extends system life and reduces operating costs. The guiding system contacts link rails instead of pin ends and helps keep the track within the roller system. The increased flange diameter on the rollers provide optimum guiding and longer life. The larger diameter provides extended wear to better match undercarriage system life. The center tread idlers contact only the bushing ­ not the links ­ eliminating scalloping and providing more guiding to the link assembly. The idlers last longer because they contact a rotating bushing instead of a link rail. · · Complete Guarding. Caterpillar undercarriages are designed with full length guarding on top of the track roller frame. This prevents abrasive materials from being recirculated in the track. Roller frames attach to the tractor by a pivot shaft and pinned equalizer bar. The pinned equalizer bar is saddle-mounted beneath the mainframe, allowing the roller frames and track to oscillate. The oscillation provides a steady working platform and smooth ride for the operator. · · · Undercarriage Arrangements. XL (Extra Long) arrangement · Forward idler position provides more track on the ground and to the front of the tractor. It provides optimal balance, superior traction and blade control for finish grading. Long roller frame provides good flotation in soft underfoot conditions. · · · 10 AccuGrade® Laser and GPS Machine Control and Guidance Systems Advanced Laser and GPS technology improves operator accuracy, increases production and lowers operating costs. AccuGrade Ready Option. The factory ready option machine makes system installation and setup quick and easy, and optimizes performance and reliability. · Hydraulic control systems are integrated into the machine hydraulics for maximum performance and dependability. AccuGrade controls are integrated into the machine controls and levers for reliable operation and precise control. Wiring harnesses and cables are routed during assembly for improved wear protection and better reliability. System is designed to withstand vibration for long life in rugged working environments.
