Rotor Drive
Maximum production with high reliability. A Caterpillar powershift transmission provides
three rotor speeds for maximum performance in a variety of materials and cutting depths.
A Cat powershift transmission drives
the rotor and is sized to handle tough
cutting and deep mixing.
Heavy-duty gear reducers with four
planetary carriers provide excellent
rotor drive reliability.
Rugged drive chains provide efficient,
continuous power to the rotor. Single
strand heavy-duty chain resists
breakage.
Three rotor speeds for maximum
performance in a variety of materials
and cutting depths. First speed is used
primarily for pulverizing the material.
Second and third rotor speeds can be
used as blending or mixing passes.
High capacity rotor driveshafts and
maintenance-free universal joints.
Heavy-duty shear disc or optional
torque limiter protects rotor drive
components from torsional stress and
shocks loads.
All-Wheel Drive
A separate hydraulic pump provides hydraulic flow to large displacement motors on each
rear wheel. The system is designed to propel the machine with full-time all-wheel drive.
Dual propel pump system: one pump is
dedicated to drive the front wheels,
while the second propel pump is
dedicated to drive the rear wheels.
Increased tractive effort for those tough
soil or reclamation jobs.
A separate flow divider control valve
directs hydraulic flow to each rear
wheel to provide balanced tractive
effort in slippery conditions.
High torque drive motors and
planetaries on rear wheels makes this
a true four-wheel drive machine.
Large rear tires with an aggressive
tread and large footprint propels the
machine easily in the most severe
applications.
