Milton CAT D8T - Manual (Page 14)

Bulldozers. All blades feature a strong
box-section design that resists twisting
and cracking. Blades are made of
Cat DH-2™ steel that has high tensile
strength and stands up to the most
severe applications. Heavy moldboard
construction and hardened bolt-on
cutting edges and end bits add strength
and durability.
• Semi-Universal Blade. The Semi-
Universal blade is built for tough
applications where penetration is more
important than capacity. The “SU” blade
is more aggressive in penetrating and
loading material than the “U” blade.
The blade wings are designed for superior
load retention and penetration in tightly
packed materials and for finishing
applications. Can also be configured with
a push plate for push loading scrapers.
• High-Capacity Universal Blade.
The high-capacity Universal blade offers
maximum capacity and is perfect for
moving big loads over long distances.
The “U” blade has large blade wings and
is ideal for stockpile work, reclamation,
charging hoppers or trapping for loaders.
Optional Dual Tilt. Improves load control
and allows the operator to optimize the
blade pitch angle for each portion of the
dozing cycle.
Single Lever. Controls all blade
movements, including the optional
dual tilt.
Cutting Edges and End Bits. Cutting edges
are DH-2 steel. End bits are DH-3™
steel to provide maximum service life
in tough materials.
Rippers. Single and multi-shank rippers
are made to penetrate tough material
fast and rip thoroughly for use in a
variety of materials.
Single-Shank Ripper. Operator can adjust
the shank depth from the seat using
an optional single shank pin puller.
Large upper frame view hole improves
ripper tip visibility. Heat-treated spacer
bars in the ripper carriage extend
pocket life and reduce shank notching.
Large one-piece shank is available in
deep rip configuration.
Multi-Shank Ripper. Tailors the tractor
to the material by using one, two or
three shanks.
Hydraulics. The D8T features field-proven
load-sensing hydraulics which respond to
operating requirements by automatically
and continually adjusting attachment
hydraulic power, increasing both
operator and machine efficiency.
Rear Counterweights. Provide proper
tractor balance to maximize dozing
production. Recommended if not
equipped with any other rear attachment.
Winches. Several options are available.
