Milton CAT D6K - Manual (Page 13)

Variable Pitch Power Angle and Tilt
Blade (VPAT). The VPAT blade is
specifically designed for finish grading,
backfilling ditches, cutting V ditches,
windrowing, fill spreading, medium
land clearing and heavy dozing.
The VPAT blade gives the operator
the ability to hydraulically adjust the
blade lift, angle and tilt from the
operator station.
VPAT Positions. For optimum
performance, pitch is manually
adjustable:
• 55° – maximum blade loads and best
finish grading
• 57° and 59.5° – good blade loads
and general dozing
• 61° – maximum blade penetration and
reduced material retention on blade
Foldable Blade. In order to comply with
transportation regulations, a foldable
blade is offered on the XL configuration.
Without blade removal, the machine
will be within the 2.55 meter (8.5 ft)
width requirement.
C-Frame.
• C-Frame is solidly pinned to the
mainframe for good blade control
and eliminates blade motion due
to track oscillation or side forces.
• C-Frame to tractor joint is sealed
and lubricated with remote lines
for extended service life and quiet
operation.
• Large C-Frame tower bearings
improve durability.
• Lubrication points are located at
all pin joints to reduce wear.
Parallelogram Ripper. The multi-shank
parallelogram ripper lets you choose
one, two or three shanks depending on
job conditions. Curved or straight shanks
are available. High strength mainframe
allows having stiffer ripper mounting
blocks for severe drawbar applications.
Drawbar. The D6K is equipped with a
drawbar for pulling work tools such as:
• Disks
• Compactors
• Chopper wheels
• Retrieval of other equipment
Hydrostatic Winch. PA50 winch
is driven by its own closed-loop
hydrostatic system consisting of a
variable displacement hydraulic piston
pump and motor. This winch offers
outstanding control of the load with
infinitely variable modulation of speed
and pull, and lowers operator effort.
Check with your Caterpillar Dealer
for details.
Sweeps and Screens. Optional sweeps
and screens are available. Sweeps help
to shield critical components on the
tractor such as hydraulic lines, exhaust
stacks, cab windows and lights from
damage. Screens provide protection to
the cab windows. This equipment is
recommended for land clearing, forestry
or other severe applications.
