Milton CAT D6T - Manual (Page 14)

Cat ® Blades. 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. The Semi-Universal
blade is built for tough applications
where penetration and capacity is
important. The blade wings are designed
for superior load retention and
penetration in tightly packed materials.
Straight Blade. The S-blade provides
good versatility. Since it has less blade
capacity, it can handle heavier materials
than a larger blade.
Angle Blade. The angle blade is secured
by outside-mounted pusharms using
a pinned connection that allows blade
angling and tilting, left or right.
Blade angle is changed manually and
blade tilt is changed hydraulically.
Variable Pitch Angle Tilt (VPAT) Blade.
The Variable Pitch Angle Tilt (VPAT)
blade allows the operator to hydraulically
adjust the blade lift, angle and tilt
simultaneously using the ergonomically
designed blade control. The operator
can also manually adjust blade pitch.
The versatility of the VPAT blade gives
the D6T the ability to take on a variety
of applications such as finish grading,
spreading material, side casting,
V-ditching and backfilling. The VPAT
blade is available on the XL, XW and
LGP configurations and requires either
a counterweight or a rear work tool
attachment for optimal machine balance.
The new D6T VPAT blade offers
several improvements over the
Series II design:
• Manually adjustable blade pitch
• Better cutting edge visibility from
operator station
• Improved tilt and angle cylinder
lines routing and guarding
• Improved structural durability
• No wear plates required on the
radiator guard or main frame
Site Preparation Arrangements.
The Ripper Package and Drawbar
Package are configured to optimize
the performance of the D6T in light
to medium duty dozing applications
common to site preparation jobs.
Answering a need for a maneuverable
tractor with the ability to cut and finish
grades, the D6T gives operators the
stability needed when working on slopes.
When coupled with the VPAT blade,
the D6T allows for more efficient rough
and finish grade in applications such as
golf course development and house pad
construction.
