Milton CAT D8T Tier 4 Interim-Stage IIIB - Manual (Page 7)

Work Tools
Equipped for versatility
Bulldozers
Blades are made of high tensile strength steel with a strong
box-section design to stand up to the most severe applications.
Heavy moldboard construction and hardened bolt-on cutting
edges and end bits add strength and durability. Optional rock
guards and deflector shields help protect cylinders. High-Capacity
Universal, Semi-Universal and Angle Blades are available, as
well as special configurations for coal and woodchip stockpile
applications.
Optional Dual Tilt
Dual Tilt improves load control and allows the operator
to optimize the blade pitch angle for better balance and
productivity. The operator can tilt the blade forward during
each pass for better penetration, then tilt it back to increase
carrying capacity.
Rippers
The standard D8T implement valve incorporates the
components necessary to install a ripper, helping to improve
versatility and resale value. A Single-Shank Ripper is the best
choice in severe applications. The shank is mounted close to
the rear idler for excellent penetration force. A Multi-Shank
Ripper is used in less severe applications or if ripping near
a high wall. This configuration offers the flexibility of using
one, two or three shanks.
Hydraulics
Field-proven load-sensing hydraulics respond to operating
requirements by automatically and continually adjusting
attachment hydraulic power for maximum efficiency.
The variable displacement of the high efficiency pumps
supplies maximum flow rates for tough applications,
implement power on operator demand, and consistent
pressure output for quick response. The variable flow
design minimizes hydraulic oil temperatures and saves fuel.
Rear Counterweights
Rear counterweights provide proper tractor balance to
maximize dozing production and are recommended when
tractor is not equipped with any other rear attachment.
Winches
Please consult your Cat dealer for available winch options.
