Standard Heavy-Duty, Construction-Grade Brakes Standard dry-disc brakes enhance your job site safety. [. . . ] At the sides, alignment is maintained by Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) plastic guides. Depth Indicator A depth indicator is mounted on trailing scrapers to provide the operator a visual reference to scraper cut depth. 3 Tongue and Hitch Built rugged for extreme durability. Hitches for Cat® Tractors Robust hitches are available for Cat Track-Type Tractors and ChallengerTM MTS800/MTS900 Series Tractors. See your Cat dealer for hitches for other pulling machines. Rugged Hitch To prevent pin wear, the hitch uses a massive 89 mm (3. 5 in) pin securely held in place with eight bolts. The hitch platform, positioned between the pulling machine and the tongue, contains two pins that allow ± 45 degrees of side to side oscillation (or roll), ± 90 degree turns (yaw), and ± 27 degrees of uphill/downhill movement (pitch). An integrated stop block allows a 90 degree turning radius while preventing contact between the tongue and the pulling machine tires/tracks. An adapter is available to convert the scraper hitch for pulling drawn implements, such as disk harrows and sheepfoot compactor rollers. Robust, Straight-Line Design Built from 13 mm (0. 5 inch) structural plate steel, the tongue is built to withstand the high drawbar forces imposed by track-type tractors pulling towed scrapers. The straight-line design eliminates draft arms, hydraulic cylinders, and lines located outside the width of the bowl, improving the overall strength to most effectively transfer the drawbar power to the cutting edges. Countersunk Tandem Hitch A countersunk hitch is provided in the push block of lead scrapers, allowing the scraper to be push loaded when a second scraper is not used. 4 Hydraulics Hose and Couplings Tough components for tough applications. Cat XTTM-3 ES (Enhanced Spiral) hose is used because its exclusive cover is formulated and manufactured by Caterpillar to provide up to 20 times more abrasion resistance than industry-standard hose. Cat XT-3 ES hose works at half of the SAE's bend radius without sacrificing cold flex capability. As additional protection all exposed hydraulic lines are solidly secured with rubber-lined clamps, protecting the hoses from failure caused by rubbing. All hydraulic hose and lines use O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fittings for maximum leak prevention. Steel Hydraulic Lines in Scraper Bowl Walls Brake lines and hydraulic lines for the rear scraper in tandem arrangements use steel lines inside the scraper bowl walls, eliminating hose damage caused by material in the bowl or during top loading. Hose Fittings Three hose fitting options are available: · · · 19 mm (3/4 in) poppet-style 13 mm (1/2 in) poppet-style Threaded flat-face connectors Threaded flat-face connectors, available exclusively on Cat Towed Scrapers, allow connection and disconnection under pressure and are less susceptible to wear caused by hose movement. 5 Attachments Lower the costs of ChallengerTM Tractors in scraper applications. Rubber Track Guides Rubber Track Guides for Challenger MTS800 Series Tractors center the rubber tracks on roller wheels, and help prevent the track from moving into the machine or detracking, avoiding expensive downtime. The track guides extend the service life of the belt as the side-loading on the belt guide blocks is reduced. The rubber track guides can minimize tractor damage caused by detracking, but are not a replacement for sound operating techniques. Your Cat Dealer can provide training in proper towed scraper operation. Hydraulic Hose Hanging Tower Kit The hydraulic hose hanging tower kit for Challenger MTS800 and MTS900 Series Tractors allows the hoses to move freely and eliminate entanglement while maintaining vertical alignment.
