BENEFITS AND FEATURES
3408C DITA Engine The 3408C engine is a field proven engine that delivers excellent reliability and durability in all applications.
High Torque Rise The 18 liter engine delivers a high torque rise, providing excellent lugging capacity to move heavier loads more efficiently.
Simplicity The mechanically controlled engine provides ease of diagnostics in remote areas where diagnostic tools may not be available.
Durability Designed to be rebuilt over and over. Tolerant of many different levels of fuel and oil quality.
High Tensile Strength Block The 3408C block is cast from high-tensile-strength gray iron. The one piece casting is stabilized to maintain internal dimensions under all operating conditions.
Four Valve Cylinder Heads The engine uses two intake and two exhaust valves with hardened valve faces that are designed to be reground. Rotators turn the valves about three degrees each lift to distribute wear and maintain heat transfer. Valve stems are made from hardened, chrome plated steel to provide excellent wear and heat resistance.
Cooling An internal top-deck cooling shelf increases coolant flow to the top of the cylinders for long cylinder liner and piston life. The deep-skirted lower structure and heavy internal ribbing add strength and rigidity to the block.
Carbon Steel Forged Crankshaft The crankshaft is a carbon steel forging, fully heat-treated, super-finished and dynamically balanced.
Superior cooling in the most demanding work conditions.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Two Pass Cooling System Circulates coolant from the sectioned bottom tank up through one side of the cooling element and down through the other side returning it to the bottom tank.
Modular Design The cooling elements are individual core modules that are connected to a sectioned bottom tank. There is no top tank to remove.
- With standard 9 steel fins per inch, a lower fin density reduces plugging.
- Brass tube construction within each core for improved reliability.
- Optional core configurations are available for high ambient and/or high wear applications.
Easy Serviceability Servicing of the AMOCS can be performed without tilting the radiator guard. Each core module can be replaced individually (without removing the entire radiator), saving considerable cost and repair time.
Protection From Leaks To reduce the potential for coolant leaks, brass tubes are welded to a large, thick header, improving strength of the tube-to-header joint. In conditions where abrasive materials can be airborne, the attachment sand blast grid should be used to prevent core damage.
Delivers the performance you expect from a Cat® machine.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Transmission The proven Cat planetary power shift transmission operates with three speeds forward and three speeds reverse. With this design, many gears share the load as it gets transferred to the axles. In contrast, with a countershaft transmission, just one gear carries the load.
Single Lever Control One lever controls both machine speed and direction, easing operator fatigue in demanding applications.
Bevel Gear Design Helical and spiral bevel transfer gears reduce operator and spectator sound levels by design as well as location, being placed within the rear case of the machine.
Oil Cooled Clutch Packs The transmission features large oil-cooled clutch packs that efficiently absorb the energy of directional shifts for smooth machine performance and excellent operator comfort. Proprietary F37 clutch material extends clutch life, especially in applications where extensive maneuvering is used to maintain peak machine productivity. This material also minimizes transmission oil contamination compared to materials used in other manufacturers’ transmissions.
Separate Transmission Oil Reservoir The transmission oil sump is separate from both final drive reservoirs, controlling cross contamination in the event of a failure of either system. This allows the use of modular components to maximize uptime over the life of the tractor.
Clutch/Brake Steering With clutch/brake steering, hand levers combine steering clutch disengagement and braking for each track.
Serviceability In terms of serviceability, the planetary transmission provides significant advantages. The modular design simplifies removal and installation. Since the bevel gears and pinions are manufactured to such a high degree of accuracy, they do not need to be lapped and mated into sets, reducing repair costs.
Provides optimum operator efficiency and driveline reliability.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Torque Divider Performance An improved single-stage torque converter sends 75% of engine torque through a converter and 25% through a direct drive shaft for greater driveline efficiency and higher torque multiplication. The torque divider provides improved efficiency and a broader range of performance in second gear dozing and scraper push loading.
Operating Efficiency and Driveline Reliability The torque divider shields the driveline from sudden torque shocks and vibration.
Freewheel Stator Improves torque divider efficiency. During machine operation under low drawbar loads, the stator is permitted to rotate to achieve peak efficiency. The result is a reduction in heat and an increase in fuel efficiency.
Key Benefits of Torque Dividers
- High reliability.
- Proven component design.
- Low dynamic torque.
- Optimum combination of operator efficiency and driveline reliability.
- Components are designed to absorb full engine power.
- High torque multiplication to get heavy loads moving.
Additional Feedback A minor, but important, by-product of the torque divider is its tendency to increase engine lug all the way to converter stall. This gives the operator additional feedback concerning tractor speed and drawbar pull.
Designed for comfort and ease of operation.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Monitoring System Provides the operator instant feedback on the condition of operating systems and records performance data to help diagnose problems. Gauges monitor the temperature of the engine coolant, hydraulic oil, power train oil, and fuel level. Includes alert indicators that monitor engine oil pressure, coolant flow, electrical system and transmission oil filter.
Comfortable Operation An optional isolation-mounted cab reduces noise and vibration. The Cat Comfort Series Seat is fully adjustable and designed for comfort and support. The seat and back cushions are thicker to reduce pressure on the lower back and thighs while allowing unrestricted arm and leg movement.
Clear Full-Circle View A tapered hood and “notched” fuel tank give the operator a clear line of sight to the front and rear work areas. The low rear window lets the operator see the ripper tip. The large single-pane door windows allow clear sight to each side without leaning.
Interior Storage and Amenities Includes intermittent windshield wipers, 12-volt power outlet, first aid kit storage, inside door releases, lunch box tie-downs, cup holder, console pads, standard 24 to 12 volt converter, speakers and antenna.
Isolation-Mounted Operators Platform The D9R features an isolation-mounted operators platform with standard ROPS/FOPS.
Engineered for maximum production and service life.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Mainframe The D9R mainframe is built to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces.
Heavy Steel Castings Heavy steel castings give added strength to the main case, equalizer bar saddle, front cross member and tag-link trunnion.
Frame Rails Full box section, designed to keep components rigidly aligned.
Top and Bottom Rails Continuous rolled sections with no machining or welding providing superior mainframe durability.
Main Case Elevates the final drives well above the ground level work area to protect them from impact loads, abrasion and contaminants.
Pivot Shaft and Pinned Equalizer Bar Maintain track roller frame alignment.
Designed for better machine balance and component life.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Suspended Undercarriage Design Absorbs impact loads to reduce the shock loads transferred to the undercarriage by up to 50%.
Bogie Suspension Provides more ground contact, especially in hard, uneven terrain. Higher traction means less slippage, better balance, and a smoother ride.
Rollers and Idlers Feature symmetric Duo-Cone™ seals. Idler caps have an additional third bolt in the abutment-style joint.
Roller Frames Tubular design resists bending and twisting and includes added reinforcement where operating loads are the highest. Alignment is optimized for undercarriage wear, and increased track frame adjustment length provides more wear material for use, extending link and roller wear life.
Elevated Sprocket Transfers implement shock loads to the mainframe and allows the sprockets, final drives, axles and steering components to perform without absorbing excessive punishment. This allows Cat tractors to work harder and last longer than competitors’ machines. The sprocket segment design increases the life of both the segment and track bushing.
Traction The elevated sprocket allows more track to the rear of the roller frame, increasing traction and flotation and counteracting front-end rise during heavy dozing and drawbar applications. With more track on the ground, the D9R delivers exceptional balance, stability, and traction for excellent dozer penetration and productive ripping.
Positive Pin Retention (PPR) Sealed and Lubricated Track Designed for high-impact and high load applications. The PPR exclusive Caterpillar design locks the link to the pin reducing the opportunity for premature loss of lubrication. Sealed design permanently coats the track pin with lubricant, minimizing metal-to-metal contact and virtually eliminating internal pin and bushing wear.
Other Features
- Large pivot shaft bushings operate in an oil reservoir.
- A low friction, no maintenance bushing is used in the saddle connection.
- Resilient pads restrain equalizer bar oscillation.
- Idler Guards (optional), increase undercarriage life.
Work Tools provide the flexibility to match the machine to the job.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
