Rugged Hitch To prevent pin wear, the hitch uses a massive 89 mm (3. 5 in) hitch pin securely held in place by eight bolts. The hitch platform, positioned between the pulling machine and the tongue, contains two pins that allow ± 45 degrees of side-to-side oscillation (roll), ± 90 degree turns (yaw), and ± 27 degrees of uphill/downhill movement (pitch). An integrated stop block allows a 90 degree turning radius while preventing contact between the tongue and the pulling machine tires/tracks. An adapter is available to convert the scraper hitch for pulling drawn implements, such as disk harrows and sheepsfoot compactor rollers. Robust, Straight-Line Design Built from 13 mm (0. 5 in) structural plate steel, the tongue is build to withstand the high drawbar forces imposed by track-type tractors pulling towed scrapers. The straight-line design eliminates draft arms, hydraulic cylinders, and lines located outside the width of the bowl, improving the overall strength to most effectively transfer the drawbar power to the cutting edges. Countersunk Tandem Hitch A countersunk hitch is provided in the push block of lead scrapers, allowing the scraper to be push loaded when a second scraper is not used. 4 Lower the costs of ChallengerTM Tractors in scraper applications. Attachments Rubber Track Guides Rubber Track Guides for Challenger MTS800 Series Tractors center the rubber tracks on roller wheels, and help prevent the track from moving into the machine or detracking, avoiding expensive downtime. The track guides extend the service life of the belt as the side-loading on the belt guide blocks is reduced. The rubber track guides can minimize tractor damage caused by detracking, but are not a replacement for sound operating techniques. Your Cat Dealer can provide training in proper towed scraper operation. Hydraulic Hose Hanging Tower Kit The hydraulic hose hanging tower kit for Challenger MTS800 and MTS900 Series Tractors allows the hoses to move freely and eliminate entanglement while maintaining vertical alignment for reduced hose fitting and valve wear to increase service life. Wheels, Brakes Raising the Standards. Standard Brakes Standard heavy-duty brakes bring a new level of safety to the job site. The hydraulically-actuated, dry-disc brakes are identical to the brakes used on Cat Articulated Trucks. Standard Radial Tires Standard radial tires reduce rolling resistance and provide excellent flotation and durability. Wheel hubs are oil filled and sealed with Cat Duo-ConeTM seals. 5 Hydraulics Tough components for tough applications. Hose and Couplings. Cat XTTM-3 ES (Enhanced Spiral) hose is used.
