Introduction

Caterpillar has developed a wide array of performance matched


work tools to meet a variety of tasks performed by Cat® Skid Steer
Loaders and Multi Terrain Loaders. Designed and built to strict
Caterpillar standards, Cat Work Tools are machine-matched to
Cat machines and carry with them Caterpillar’s proven reputation
for performance, durability and reliability.

Work tools have earned skid steer loaders and multi terrain loaders
their reputation for versatility. Cat Work Tools are designed with
an interface that matches the machine’s universal mechanical and
hydraulic quick coupler system for fast, secure work tool changes.

Caterpillar® Skid Steer Loader and Multi Terrain Loader Work Tools
are categorized three ways: 1) fabricated, 2) simple hydraulic, and
3) complex hydraulic. Fabricated work tools are produced from
formed steel plate and special steel sections. Examples include
buckets, forks and material handling arm. These work tools require
no auxiliary hydraulics to operate and are compatible with all
machine models. Simple hydraulic work tools incorporate hydraulic
cylinders for added flexibility when opening and closing a bucket
or grapple, or angling a blade. These include multi purpose buckets,
grapple buckets and forks and angle blades. Simple hydraulic
work tools require a “standard flow” auxiliary hydraulic system
to operate and are compatible with all Caterpillar machine models.
Complex hydraulic work tools are specialized work tools that
incorporate a hydraulic motor, and in some cases hydraulic cylinders
for doing specialized, high-production jobs. Examples include
augers, cold planers, tillers, trenchers, brooms, etc. Complex
hydraulic work tools are available in “standard flow” and “high
flow” configurations. “Standard flow” versions are compatible
with all machine models; “high flow” versions are compatible only
with the skid steer loader “high flow” machines.

Multi Terrain Loaders
Introduction

Work tools are vital to the versatility of Compact Construction Work Tool Compatibility
Equipment. Due to the multitude of available AEM and OEM Statement
work tools and compact machines, compatibility questions might
arise. Compatibility is more than proper coupler engagement —
it is the efficient integration and operation of all elements in a
system. Improper compatibility can adversely affect the function
of the work tool and operator safety.

Compatibility questions might arise regarding Cat Work Tools


on Cat machines, Cat Work Tools on competitive machines and
competitive work tools on Cat machines. Although secure work
tool engagement might be possible, there is no guarantee that the
machine/work tool will connect hydraulically, function properly
or perform optimally. Similar to the machines that operate them,
work tools are often upgraded by the manufacturer or altered by
the customer. It is never safe to assume proper compatibility.
Always visually inspect the machine or work tool before operation.

Determining Compatibility
Caterpillar does not recommend the use of Cat Work Tools on non-
Cat machines, nor non-Cat work tools on Caterpillar machines,
unless specifically approved in Caterpillar documentation.
Approved compatibility charts for Cat Work Tools machine-
matched to Caterpillar Compact Machines can be found in the
machine’s Operation and Maintenance Manual and Owner’s
Manual. For additional compatibility issues, please contact
Caterpillar for assistance.

The list of possible Caterpillar and competitive machine/work tool


combinations are too numerous to list in this product bulletin.
Note: This is for reference only.

Before attempting any machine/work tool combination, the


following questions should be answered:
• Will the machine and work tool mechanically couple and remain
coupled during use?
• Are the hydraulic line routings and quick disconnects for
hydraulically actuated work tools compatible with the machine,
and if so, will they remain coupled without stretching during use?

February 2006 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and 7
Multi Terrain Loaders
Introduction

• When the machine and work tool are coupled together, can three
points of contact (two hands/one foot or two feet/one hand) be
maintained at entry and exit points?
• Is the work tool structurally matched to the machine? Will the
power or size of one damage the structural integrity of the other?
• For hydraulically actuated work tools, are the hydraulic lines
protected from damage?
• For hydraulically actuated work tools, are the hydraulic lines
wrapped or guarded such that the operator is protected from a
possible hose burst?
• For hydraulically actuated work tools, will the machine’s
auxiliary hydraulic output provide necessary flow and pressure
to optimally perform?
• For hydraulically actuated work tools, will the machine’s
auxiliary hydraulic output exceed the hydraulic capability of the
work tool?
• For hydraulically actuated work tools with electrical requirements,
does the intended machine have a work tool electrical control
package and if so, is it compatible with the work tool?
• When the work tool is coupled to the machine and is in the
transport position, is the weight distribution at least 20 percent
on the rear wheels?
• Is the machine/work tool system stable at all linkage positions or
does the work tool exceed the machine’s rated operating capacity
and require a lift restriction to prevent machine tipping?
• Are all hazards such as crushing, cutting, electrocution,
entanglement and flying objects guarded against where
possible? If not, is a proper warning film in place showing
potential hazards and how to avoid them?
• Are the manufacturer’s operating instructions for both the
machine and work tool available to the operator?
• Are all hydraulic systems clean and free of harmful
contamination?
• Considering all of the prior questions, does the machine/work
tool system provide a safe combination when used by a qualified
operator in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating
instructions?

Bucket Selection

All Caterpillar buckets are designed for maximum performance Selecting the Right Bucket
and durability when used in the right job. Choosing the right bucket for the Job
for a specific application is important to obtain the best performance
from the machine. As a guide, Caterpillar has developed a
compatibility chart for each bucket by type and width for the
specific Caterpillar Skid Steer Loader and Multi Terrain Loader
models (see page 22).

When selecting a bucket, the rule of thumb is to choose a bucket


that at least covers the tire gauge width of the machine. Bucket
widths that exceed the tire gauge width by more than one size,
should be avoided, unless otherwise specified by Caterpillar.
Because skid steer loaders are used in a wide variety of applications
and material types, bucket types and widths should be selected to
provide adequate breakout force, tire coverage and reasonable
machine carrying capacity.

Material density is another factor to consider when selecting the


appropriate size bucket for the job. Loading high-density material
with too large of a bucket (width/capacity) could cause the load to
exceed the rated operating capacity of the machine, which could
result in unstable operating conditions. The Bucket Selection Chart
on the following page lists the various bucket types and sizes, with
the maximum allowable rated material densities for each machine
model. The maximum rated material density should be compared
with the material type to be loaded (see Material Densities of
Commonly Loaded Materials Chart on the following page). If the
maximum rated material density of the bucket is slightly greater
than the material to be loaded, then the bucket selected is an
appropriate match and will prevent machine overloading.

Example: A customer with 236 Skid Steer Loader and a 72 in


(1829 mm) tire gauge width is operating in compacted clay soil.
According to the weight table, compacted clay has a material
density of 109 lb/ft3 (1746 kg/m3). Using the bucket chart,
several buckets could be used, such as the 72 in (1829 mm)
General Purpose bucket, which provides the most efficient
match for the application.

Pallet Forks

Application Caterpillar Pallet Forks are designed to meet a wide variety of


material handling needs. Pallet Forks are well suited for moving
bulky or palletized materials on construction and industrial sites,
handling bagged fertilizer and seed at landscaping and nursery
sites, and a variety of other material handling applications.

Features Caterpillar offers one pallet fork carriage configuration with three
fork length options — 36 in (910 mm), 42 in (1070 mm) and 48 in
(1220 mm) — for all sizes of Cat Skid Steer Loaders and Multi
Terrain Loaders. All forks are Class II rated.

Cat Pallet Forks provide a durable, dependable skid steer loader


material handling system. The fork carriage is designed to meet
the load carrying capacity of the largest machine enabling one size
to fit all models. The notched rail-type carriage design allows fork
tines to be easily respaced or changed and locked into place.
Forks are loaded onto the carriage using an off-center cutout for
quick and easy change-out. The durable, heavy-duty load backrest
structure protects the operator from shifting loads, while
maintaining excellent visibility to the fork tips.

The convenient, heavy-duty, deep skid-resistant step located at


the right side of the carriage, coupled with the angled corners of
the load backrest structure, Cat’s generous cab opening and side
mounted dual tilt cylinder design, optimize operator entry and exit.

Industrial Grapple Buckets

Application Caterpillar Industrial Grapple Buckets are designed to handle a


wide array of bulky, irregularly shaped objects encountered in
demolition, industrial, construction, recycling and other aggressive
applications. Grapples are ideal for grasping objects such as
railroad ties, trees, large rocks, brush, industrial and demolition
scrap, recycling debris and other miscellaneous objects with ease.

Features Caterpillar offers four widths of industrial grapple buckets — 60 in


(1524 mm), 66 in (1676 mm), 72 in (1829 mm) and 78 in (1981), and
one Ground Engaging Tool (G.E.T.) option — bolt-on cutting edges.

The heavy-duty industrial grapple bucket is designed for superior


durability and long structural life. Dual, full-width torque tubes
and two vertical reinforcing gussets protect the bucket against
twisting and impact forces. The hardened steel base edge provides
excellent penetration and wear life. The robust grapple assemblies
incorporate thick, gusseted grapple tines, made of 0.78 in (20 mm)
thick, high-strength steel to resist bending. Each is reinforced
with a full-width formed plate and rigid box section for additional
strength and cylinder protection. Cylinders are centered on each
grapple assembly for even clamping force on inner and outer tines.

All hinge and cylinder pins are plated to protect against corrosion
for long wear life. Hinge and cylinder rod eye pins are retained
with cross bolts; cylinder head pins are retained with snap rings.
Grease points are conveniently located and protected. Lubrication
is recommended every ten hours of operation.

24 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and February 2006
Multi Terrain Loaders
Industrial Grapple Buckets

Hydraulic cylinder covers and rod eye grease point shields protect
cylinders and grease points from damage. Corrosion-resistant hard
lines are also protected by cylinder covers and a shield on the rear
of the bucket.

A wide vertical jaw opening allows Cat Industrial Grapple Buckets


to handle a wide variety of large, bulky objects. A vertical opening
of 40 in (1016 mm), from grapple tine tip to top of base edge, allows
standard industrial drums to be carried in an upright position.

Proven Caterpillar two-braid, medium pressure hydraulic hose,


couplings and o-ring face seals are used throughout the design
for superior leak-free performance and reliability. Hose length

Industrial Grapple Forks

Caterpillar Industrial Grapple Forks are designed to easily handle Application


a wide array of bulky, loose, pierceable objects encountered in
demolition, industrial, construction, recycling and other aggressive
applications. Used in similar applications as industrial grapple
buckets, industrial grapple forks incorporate a series of forks for
piercing paper, cardboard, wood and light gauge metal scrap, and
picking up irregular shaped objects.

Caterpillar offers two widths of industrial grapple forks — 66 in Features


(1676 mm) and 72 in (1829 mm).

The heavy-duty industrial grapple fork carriage is designed for


superior durability and long structural life. A full-width upper
torque tube, a series of internal vertical gussets and independent
tine holder gussets protect the fork carriage against twisting and
impact forces. Industrial grapple forks use the same robust,
high-strength steel grapple assemblies as industrial grapple buckets
for maximum performance, durability and bending resistance.
The replaceable pin-on fork tines are produced from 1.75 in (43 mm)
diameter hardened, medium carbon alloy rod for strength and long
wear life.

A wide, vertical jaw opening allows Cat Industrial Grapple Forks


to handle a wide variety of irregular shaped objects. The vertical jaw
opening is 38 in (965 mm) from grapple tine tip to top of fork tine.

Cat Industrial Grapple Forks incorporate many of the same


features used on industrial grapple buckets, such as plated pins,
shielded hydraulic lines, cylinders, couplings and grease fittings.
Proven Caterpillar two-braid, medium pressure hydraulic hose,
couplings and o-ring face seals are used throughout the design for
superior, leak-free performance and reliability. Hose length and
routing have been matched to the machine to ensure proper

Utility Grapple Buckets

Application Caterpillar Utility Grapple Buckets are designed for handling a


wide array of light, hard to handle materials encountered in farming,
ranching and landscaping applications. The light-duty design offers
grasping capabilities for materials such as loose hay, straw, bedding
materials, dry compacted livestock waste, landscaping mulch and
pine straw. When heavy-duty work is required, Caterpillar
recommends using an industrial grapple bucket.

Features Caterpillar offers two widths of utility grapple buckets — 66 in


(1676 mm) and 72 in (1829 mm), and one Ground Engaging Tool
(G.E.T.) option — bolt-on cutting edges. NOTE: Although not
available fully assembled, 60 in (1524 mm) utility grapple buckets
can be assembled from a 60 in (1524 mm) utility bucket and
bolt-on grapple assembly.

The light-duty utility grapple bucket is constructed from the


Caterpillar Utility Bucket. The design uses a single, full-width,
bolt-on grapple assembly with center-mounted cylinder and
four gusseted tines to tightly grip loose materials. The bucket
incorporates dual full-width torque tubes to protect the bucket
against twisting, and a hardened steel base edge for excellent
penetration and wear life. The bolt-on grapple assembly can easily
be removed or installed when the need arises. A bolt-on rubber
bumper limits rack back travel on the larger radial lift machines.

All hinge and cylinder pins are plated to protect against corrosion
for long wear life. Hinge and cylinder rod eye pins are retained
with cross bolts; cylinder head pins are retained with snap rings.
Grease points are conveniently located and protected. Lubrication
is recommended every ten hours of operation.

A rod eye grease point shield protects the cylinder and grease
point from damage. Corrosion resistant hard lines are protected
by cylinder covers and a shield on the rear of the bucket.

The wide vertical jaw opening — 35.5 in (902 mm) from grapple
tine tip to top of base edge — makes Cat Utility Grapple Buckets
ideal for handling bundled material, loose straw and hay, and
manure. The compact design allows the bucket to operate close
to stall walls, buildings and fences.

Bucket Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.)

Caterpillar Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.) are machine-matched Features


and designed to enhance the productivity of Cat Skid Steer Loader
and Multi Terrain Loader buckets. Cat G.E.T. also protects bucket
base edges, increases bucket durability and extends bucket wear life
in a variety of applications.

Cat single strap bolt-on uniteeth provide maximum penetration


in the most aggressive digging conditions. Cat bolt-on uniteeth are
forged from hardened, high-strength medium carbon alloy steel
for excellent wear life. Bolt-on uniteeth provide a smooth bucket
bottom for work on prepared surfaces. Bolt-on G.E.T. provides
maximum versatility with the flexibility to quickly change from
teeth to base edge, reducing operating costs and downtime.
Bolt-on cutting edges are recommended for bucket base edge
protection in high wear conditions where teeth are not required.
Rolled from tough DH-2™ steel, Cat bolt-on cutting edges are
hardened to extend edge wear life.
Bolt-on tooth bars can quickly change a bucket into an aggressive
digging tool. Caterpillar offers two designs that use uniteeth welded
to a protective edge. One version fits over the bucket base edge, while
the other fits over a bucket bolt-on edge. Both versions securely
fasten to the bucket side plates using two bolts. The hardened, high-
strength steel teeth, in conjunction with the full-width protective
edge, provide superior penetration, edge wear life and base edge
protection. Bolt-on tooth bars are available in four widths — 60 in
(1524 mm), 66 in (1676 mm), 72 in (1829 mm) and 78 in (1981 mm)

Multi Terrain Loaders
Blades — Angle

Caterpillar offers two widths of angle blades — 72 in (1829 mm) Features


and 84 in (2134 mm).

The robust, high-capacity design incorporates a bolt-on curved


moldboard with a standard reversible/replaceable bolt-on, hardened
DH-2 cutting edge for long life and high performance. The common
back interface structure makes the bolt-on moldboards interchangeable
between the two different blade sizes. The two-way blade can be
hydraulically angled 30 degrees right or left of center using a
single, double acting cylinder. A spherical rod eye cylinder adds
another degree of freedom to the jointed section for better impact
protection. Adjustable/removable skid shoes provide a stable
platform and depth controls when operating on hard surfaces such
as asphalt and concrete. A three-position blade height adjustment
provides the flexibility to change blade depth for specific dozing
requirements or when the work tool is used on different machine
platforms with various tire arrangements. Cat Angle Blades can be
operated with the blade locked for aggressive dozing or with the
spring-loaded safety trip engaged for pushing snow or livestock
waste. Two T-handled pins can be installed or removed depending
on the application. For spring-loaded safety trip applications,
four pre-loaded springs provide approximately 675 lb (306 kg)
of spring force. Each spring provides approximately 170 lb (77 kg)
of spring force and can be removed individually when a lighter
blade trip is required.

Multi Terrain Loaders
Blades — Angle

Optional snow kits are available for both angle blade widths.

Snow Kit Features:


• Bolt-on guard assembly increases moldboard height by 7 in
(175 mm), increasing angle blade contour and capacity.
• Heavy-duty guard assembly reinforced with gussets along the
full width of the blade, increases blade life. Exterior gussets double
as mounting locations for edge markers for quick, easy assembly.
• High visibility vertical edge markers, made of fade-resistant,
fluorescent-orange nylon tubing, indicate blade width and
moldboard orientation. Edge markers are designed to remain
flexible to –40 degrees F. Steel ends are plated to resist
corrosion.

Non-metallic, bolt-on blade edges are available to complement the


snow kit package. They are designed to squeegee or blade material
without marring concrete or asphalt surfaces, such as sidewalks,
driveways, parking lots and airports.

Non-metallic Bolt-on Edge Features:


• Reversible blade for extended service life
• Bolt-on edge for quick, easy assembly
• Polyethylene edge for protective additive for greater durability

Cat Angle Blades incorporate plated pins, shielded hydraulic


lines, cylinders, couplings and grease fittings. Proven Caterpillar
two-braid, medium pressure hydraulic hose, couplings and o-ring
face seals are used throughout the design for superior leak-free
performance and reliability. Hose length and routing have been
matched to the machine to ensure proper protection, guiding and
fit-up. Special nylon Cordura sleeving is standard on the primary
flow and return hydraulic lines for additional operator protection.
Hydraulic lines quickly couple to the Cat machine’s “standard flow”
auxiliary hydraulic system with 5/8 in (15.8 mm) flat face
hydraulic quick disconnects.

The convenient, heavy-duty, deep skid-resistant step located at the


right side of the main structure, coupled with Cat’s generous cab

Caterpillar offers two widths of dozer blades — 79 in (2002 mm) Features


and 92 in (2342 mm).

The Cat dozer blade incorporates a rugged track-type tractor variable


power angle tilt (VPAT) blade with simultaneous tilt and angle
capability for superior control and maneuverability. The three-piece,
replaceable bolt-on, hardened cutting edge delivers long life and
high performance. The center section of the cutting edge is reversible
to extend wear life. Angled end bits are modeled after track-type
tractor blades and allow flush cutting against a vertical surface
when the blade is fully tilted. Adjustable/removable skid shoes
provide a stable platform and depth controls when operating on
hard surfaces such as asphalt and concrete. Removable shims allow
adjustment for trunnion interface wear. The anti-pitch interface has
rolling bushings to evenly distribute wear.

Multi Terrain Loaders
Augers

Application Caterpillar Augers are designed for drilling holes for footings,
fence posts, signs, tree and shrub plantings, and light tower boring
in construction, agricultural and landscaping applications.

Features Caterpillar offers three augers — the A14B, A19B and A26B —
matched specifically to the machine’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit
and horsepower capabilities for maximum system performance and
reliability. The A14B and A19B are designed to work with “standard
flow” machine auxiliary hydraulics. The A26B is specifically
designed for machines with “high flow” auxiliary hydraulics.

Caterpillar Augers are designed with the right balance of speed


and torque for maximum productivity in many soil types. The right
amount of speed is necessary to efficiently move material up the
auger bit and out of the hole. Optimal torque is required to prevent
stalling when drilling in tough applications.

The direct drive A14B features a variable speed, bi-directional,


gerotor-style hydraulic motor for optimal bit speed and torque
output and tapered roller bearings for increased side and axial
load capability. The A14B is ideal for light- to moderate-duty
applications and uses auger bits up to 30 in (762 mm) in diameter.

The single reduction planetary drive A19B features a variable


speed, bi-directional, gerotor-style hydraulic motor mounted to a
planetary gear box for optimal bit speed and torque output and
planetary lock nut system for superior shaft retention. The A19B is
ideal for moderate to heavy-duty applications with auger bits up to
36 in (914 mm) in diameter due to higher torque output available
to the drive shaft and auger bit. The additional torque output
provides better performance with larger diameter bits.

46 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and February 2006
Multi Terrain Loaders
Augers

The in-line double reduction planetary drive A26B features a


variable speed, bidirectional, gear hydraulic motor mounted to
a planetary gear box for optimal bit speed and torque output.
A planetary lock nut system provides reliable operation and superior
shaft retention when boring in tough material. The A26B “high
flow” auger is ideal for moderate to heavy-duty, high-performance
drilling requirements with auger bits up to 36 in (914 mm) in
diameter, due to its lower speed and exceptional high torque output
capabilities. This unit does not require a case drain line, expanding
versatility and compatibility to Caterpillar Backhoe Loaders.

All Cat Augers feature a small cylindrical housing diameter to allow


the drive unit to follow bits greater than 10 in (254 mm) extension.
All are equipped with 2 in (51 mm) HEX output drive shafts,
providing the strongest industry connection to the auger bit.

An exclusive Cat mounting bracket is common to all Cat Augers.


It incorporates full-width upper and lower torque tubes, an
articulated joint, cradle, feet stand, step, and bracket commonality.
These features provide superior structural reinforcement,
positioning flexibility, easy transportation, near-vertical storage,
easy work tool engagement, and mounting compatibility with
backhoe loaders and mini hydraulic excavators.

Proven Caterpillar XT™-3 hydraulic hose (XT-6 on the A26B),


hardware, fittings and o-ring face seals are used throughout the
design for superior, leak-free performance and reliability in the
toughest conditions. Special nylon Cordura sleeving is standard
for additional operator protection.

Caterpillar offers both standard and tree bits for a variety of hole
drilling requirements. Extensions are available for deeper drilling.
Some landscaping applications require tapered tree bits for
planting trees and shrubs. Tapered bits taper at the pilot point,
drilling a larger diameter upper hole for the root ball and a smaller
diameter lower hole for mulch and fertilizer.

Multi Terrain Loaders
Backhoes

The Caterpillar Backhoe tool in conjunction with Cat Skid Steer Application
Loaders and Multi Terrain Loaders provides an extremely versatile
method to complete a wide range of tasks in many market segments.
The backhoe is available in two frame widths to accommodate the
two primary sizes of Cat Skid Steer Loader and Multi Terrain Loader
machines. Each of these top-level arrangements is available either
with or without auxiliary hydraulic capability.

The standard digging version of the Cat Backhoe, BH150 and


BH160, allow for operation of 303-size fabricated tools, which
include heavy-duty and ditch cleaning buckets. The heavy-duty
buckets, with an improved digging profile and Ground Engaging
Tools (G.E.T.), allow for excellent performance while digging
footings, basements, utility trenches and drainage ditches. The ditch
cleaning buckets also allow for backfilling, slope and embankment
maintenance for construction, industrial and landscaping applications.

The auxiliary hydraulic models allow the Cat Backhoe to operate


hydro-mechanical tools, such as augers, hammers, vibratory plate
compactors, thumbs and tilting ditch cleaning buckets. This assortment
of tools enables the operator to complete an even broader range of
applications, from landscaping to demolition. Tasks such as placing
pipe, utility lines, drainage tiles or landscape rock with the thumb
and bucket, boring holes for trees, shrubs, fence posts or utility
poles with the auger, compacting trenches for drainage tile with
the compactor, demolishing concrete or asphalt with the hammer,
or profiling an embankment with the tilting ditch cleaning bucket
can all be efficiently accomplished with the Cat Backhoe with
auxiliary hydraulics.

February 2006 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and 51
Multi Terrain Loaders
Backhoes

Features Caterpillar offers four backhoes — the BH150, with or without


auxiliary hydraulics, and the BH160, with or without auxiliary
hydraulics — all with digging breakout forces of up to 7100 lb
(3220 kg).

The BH150 and BH160 provide a maximum dig depth of 121 in


(3076 mm), with 192 degrees of bucket rotation, and 182 degrees
of boom swing for optimum reach, visibility and maneuvering in
tight digging spaces. Manual side-shift allows maximum viewing
from left to right — up to 32 in (822 mm) on the BH150, and up to
38 in (974 mm) on the BH160 — to optimize visibility of the work
tool and work area, and to allow close digging to obstructions.
The Cat excavator-style, curved boom enhances reach and height
over walls, fences, and other obstructions, similar to the Cat Backhoe
machine boom. Tool interface linkage is integrated with 303 tools,
which include buckets, augers, hammers, ditch cleaners, thumbs,
vibratory plate compactors and quick couplers, for added versatility.

The Cat Backhoe offers great productivity with its in-cab operator
design. The unique cab-operated control panel allows for effortless
control of the stick, boom and bucket functions. Operators can dig,
excavate, side-shift, and even reposition the machine and backhoe
without ever leaving the seat, which reduces repositioning time
compared with traditional skid steer loader-mounted backhoes.
The machine cab offers safety, comfort and cover from extreme
temperatures or inclement weather conditions, allowing operators
to work for extended periods of time with little fatigue. The arm
bar on the machine provides additional comfort when operating
the backhoe controls.

The Cat Backhoe mounts to special steps on the machine, which


can be exchanged for the current machine steps. An over-the-center
latching mechanism allows the backhoe to be easily attached and
removed from the machine. The latching mechanism is easily
adjustable with one wrench to maintain a tight, secure attachment
to the machine. This only requires the standard machine steps to
be unbolted and to have the special steps bolted on the machine in
their place. Hydraulic lines are quickly attached and removed with
the help of standard quick couplings. When using a machine with a
cab, only the door needs to be removed to allow the control console
to be folded into the operator’s compartment.

52 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and February 2006
Multi Terrain Loaders
Backhoes

The center of gravity is set close to the machine’s mounting plate Operator Controls
for superior stability, establishing a secure working platform for
smooth work tool operation. Vertical stabilizers are independently
controlled from the fold-in control panel. Independent adjustment
of the left and right stabilizer allows for proper adjustment of the
work platform.

Optional auxiliary hydraulic lines provide auxiliary flow to the end


of the stick for operating hydraulic work tools. Operation of the
third function lever is controlled inside the cab from the fold-down
control console.

The Cat Backhoe includes removable street pads, which can be


quickly removed and re-installed with two bolts per pad.

A set of bucket pins is included with each backhoe shipment


to dealers.

Control Pattern
The fold-down control with backhoe loader-style controls operates
the boom, stick, buckets, hammers, stabilizers, side-shift lock and
auxiliary hydraulics. The fold-down control panel can remain in
the up or down position for traveling. If the control panel is in the
down position a simple release mechanism allows the panel to be
lifted and allows clearance to exit the machine.

Brooms — Pickup, Angle, Utility

Application Caterpillar Pickup, Angle and Utility Brooms are ideal work tools
for cleaning and removing dirt, rock, snow and other debris from
streets, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks and factory floors in a
variety of construction, industrial and landscaping settings.
Caterpillar Brooms are also used in paving, specialty trades,
recycling, demolition and airport maintenance applications.

Cat Angle Brooms are designed to operate best during forward


machine travel. They use a windrowing action to move loose debris
forward and to the side of the surface being swept. Angle brooms
can be oriented straight or angled up to 30 degrees left or right of
center to optimize the windrowing action.
Pickup Broom
Cat Pickup Brooms sweep and deposit material into an integrated
hopper bucket for easy removal and dumping. Bi-directional
capabilities of the bristles allow pickup and utility brooms to sweep
in forward or reverse machine travel. Optimum sweeping style is in
forward travel resulting in over-the-brush pickup. Certain conditions
call for a dust pan method of sweeping, which is accomplished in
reverse travel.

Cat Utility Brooms sweep and collect light debris on smooth surfaces
in forward or reverse travel. They can be adjusted for greater bristle
down-force in tough applications, such as sweeping coarse
Angle Broom material out of a cold planer cut.

Cat Brooms perform well on many types of surfaces, including


concrete, asphalt, turf and snow. Caterpillar offers solid polypropylene
brushes, mixed polypropylene/steel wire brushes and solid steel
wire brushes for maximum versatility in these various applications.

Brush/bristle selection is determined by the surface material


to be swept for optimum sweeping efficiency and wear life.
Solid polypropylene brushes are recommended for turf
surfaces, to limit grass or carpet damage and extend brush life.
Mixed polypropylene/steel wire brushes provide tough cleaning
Utility Broom
action on most paved surfaces and are more durable for extended
brush life. Solid steel wire brushes provide the longest life, and are
recommended for specialty applications where aggressive sweeping
is required. An optional gutter brush kit for pickup and utility
brooms helps remove material from gutters and pavement edging.

Brooms — Pickup

Features Caterpillar offers pickup brooms in two sweeping widths — the


BP15B — 60 in (1524 mm), and BP18B — 72 in (1829 mm).

Both units operate on the Caterpillar Skid Steer and Multi Terrain
Loader’s “standard flow” hydraulics for maximum performance.

Cat Pickup Brooms incorporate a direct drive system for efficient,


reliable performance. Both models use a bi-directional 24.9 in3
(408 cm3) per rev gerotor-style motor for operating in forward or
reverse travel. The motor is contained in a special housing that can
be adjusted to compensate for bristle wear. Cat Pickup Brooms are
standardly equipped with a replaceable bolt-on cutting edge and a
heavy-duty, low profile, pneumatic guide wheel that supports the
hood during sweeping.

The BP15B and BP18B are constructed of reinforced high-strength


steel and incorporate a curved hood design for increased durability
and protection from front hood impacts. Included in the hood
design is a sight gauge to ensure proper bucket positioning when
operating the broom in the over-the-brush, forward machine travel
method to ensure effective sweeping and minimize wear to the
bucket edge and bottom.

The BP15B and BP18B hoppers boast a capacity of 15 and 16 ft3


(0.42 and 0.45 m3) respectively, increasing productivity by allowing
for longer sweeping cycles before needing to empty the hopper.
The hopper is equipped with interior deflectors, a rear bucket seal
and side brush stripping to direct dirt and dust into the bucket,
reducing spillage and air-borne contaminants.

The hopper bucket opens wide from the broom for fast, efficient
dumping. When emptying the hopper bucket, simply raise the
broom and dump the bucket. This is accomplished with a dual
chain/loader arm bracket system that holds the brush housing
in the horizontal position. Chains and loader arm brackets are
required to properly empty the hopper bucket.

Cat Pickup Brooms include a drop core design that allows for
quick bristle replacement without requiring hydraulic hoses to be
removed. Standard polypropylene/wire convoluted brushes provide
optimum results for all-purpose sweeping. Optional all-polypropylene
and all-steel wire convoluted brushes are available for specialty
applications. Convoluted brush sections are available through the
Parts system in half-kits for easy maintenance and quick
replacement via parts system.

The Caterpillar BA18 Angle Broom is available in one size and Features
operates in two sweeping widths — 84 in (2134 mm) in straight
travel and 67 in (1702 mm) in angled travel. The BA18 operates on
the machine’s “standard flow” hydraulics for maximum performance.

The Cat Angle Broom incorporates a direct drive system for


efficient, reliable performance. The BA18 uses a single variable
speed, unidirectional 24.9 in3 (408 cm3) per rev gerotor-style motor
keyed into a tapered hub on the brush core. The other side of the
hub is supported with a pillow block bearing. The motor is contained
in a protective housing and has limited rotational capabilities to
prevent key shearing during initial startup torque.

Manual or hydraulic angling is available: maximum angling is


30 degrees left or right of center. The hydraulic angling option
allows the operator to control the broom angle from the operator’s
compartment with an electrical switch on the skid steer loader’s
left joystick. The work tool electrical control package is a
mandatory machine requirement when using the hydraulic
angling option. Manual angling brooms can be easily converted
to hydraulic angling if needed.

Caterpillar angle brooms include a drop core design that allows for
quick bristle replacement without requiring hydraulic hoses to be
removed. Standard polypropylene/wire convoluted brushes provide
optimum results for all-purpose sweeping. Optional all-polypropylene
and all-steel wire convoluted brushes are available for specialty
applications. Convoluted brush sections are available in half-kits
through the parts system for easy maintenance and quick

Brooms — Utility

Features Caterpillar offers utility brooms in two sweeping widths — the


BU115 — 59 in (1510 mm) and BU118 — 73 in (1865 mm).

Both units operate on the Caterpillar Skid Steer and Multi Terrain
Loader’s “standard flow” hydraulics for maximum performance.

Cat Utility Brooms incorporate a direct drive system for efficient,


reliable performance. Both models use a bi-directional 24.9 in3
(408 cm3) per rev gerotor-style motor for operating in forward or
reverse travel. The drive motor is recessed into the brush core end.

The BU115 and BU118 are constructed of reinforced high-strength


steel and incorporate a curved hood design for increased durability
and protection from front hood impacts. A front-mounted torque
tube is also incorporated in the structure to provide additional
stiffness to the structure. The sides and front of the main housing
have a rubber boot to aid in containing debris during sweeping.

The bi-directional rotation of the bristles allows for dust pan


or over-the-brush sweeping of debris into the integrated hopper.
Typically, dust pan is the primary operation with the utility
broom and over-the-top sweeping, a secondary operation.

For flat surface sweeping applications, the Utility Broom is used


primarily in a “machine forward” direction. The locking nut
may be loosened to allow float of the brush core and reduce
wear on the bristles. Consult OMM for detailed instructions.

When used to sweep millings from a cold planer cut, the


Utility Broom is generally used in a “machine reverse” direction.
The positive brush down-force is obtained by adjusting locking
nuts on the both side bolts. This allows the broom to be inserted
into a cut from a Cat Cold Planer, and rapidly dragged backwards
to sweep the millings under the brush core (dust pan method)
and into the bucket. Consult OMM for detailed instructions.

The BU115B and BU118 bucket hoppers boast a capacity of


14.9 and 17.4 ft3 (0.42 and 0.49 m3) respectively, increasing
productivity by allowing for longer sweeping cycles before
needing to empty the hopper. This bucket hopper is also available
with an optional bolt-on cutting edge to extend the life of the
hopper in severe applications.

Cat Utility Brooms do not have chain brackets fitted for emptying
debris, so they can be easily moved from one machine to another.
When emptying the bucket hopper, lift and tilt the broom forward
which will allow the debris to fall out of the bucket hopper and
around the brush core. Turning the brush core in the opposite
direction allows debris to be ejected from the bucket hopper.

Cat Utility Brooms include a drop core design that allows for
quick bristle replacement without requiring hydraulic hoses to
be removed. This means less mess, cleanup and risk of hydraulic
contamination. Polypropylene convoluted brushes provide optimum
results for all-purpose sweeping. Optional polypropylene/wire and
all wire convoluted brushes are also available to meet job conditions.

Brushcutters

Application Caterpillar Brushcutters are designed for clearing overgrowth from


highway medians, utility easements and for initial land clearing for
housing, parks and recreational areas.

Features Caterpillar offers five models of brushcutters — three “standard


flow” models and widths: BR160 — 60 in (1524 mm), BR166 —
66 in (1676 mm) and BR172 — 72 in (1829 mm) — one regular
“high flow” model: BR272 — 72 in (1829 mm) — and a “high
flow” XPS model: BR378 — 78 in (1981 mm).

Caterpillar Brushcutters are designed with the right balance of


speed and torque for maximum effectiveness in many overgrowth
conditions. A high cutting blade tip speed is necessary to cut brush
and small trees. Optimal torque is necessary to prevent stalling in
extremely dense overgrowth.

The BR160, BR166 and BR172 are performance-matched to the


machines “standard flow” auxiliary hydraulic systems. The BR272
is specifically matched to “high flow” hydraulic machines, and the
BR378 is optimized for use on the “high flow” XPS Skid Steer
Loaders and Multi Terrain Loaders. Each model is matched with
the machines hydraulic system performance, as well as machine
horsepower and weight.

70 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and February 2006
Multi Terrain Loaders
Brushcutters

All five models include high-strength blades, which provide


durability and also mulch overgrowth. Fully balanced blade
carriers to prevent unnecessary vibration. High-strength frame
construction with reinforced corner gussets for strength in critical
areas. Long life motors to provide years of high-speed blade
performance. Machined and heat treated gears in sealed gearbox
provided reliable, durable transfer of torque from motor to blade
carrier. Tapered blade carrier to allow cutter to ride up over stumps
and rocks. Galvanized 5/16 proof coil chain, which provides debris
guarding in the frontal area providing a restriction to flying debris
and material. And, skids that allow for easy movement of the
brushcutter through uneven terrain maintain stability of the tool
and machine system.

Proven Caterpillar XT-3 hydraulic hose, hardware, fittings, and


o-ring face seals are used throughout the design for superior
leak-free performance and reliability in the toughest conditions.

February 2006 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and 73
Multi Terrain Loaders
Cold Planers

Application Cat Cold Planers are designed for small to medium size paving
jobs in residential and commercial applications. Cold planers are
used to economically restore asphalt and concrete paved surfaces
to a specified grade or level. They are ideal for milling bumps or
imperfections in expanded pavements, removing cracked or
deteriorated pavement, removing traffic lane stripes and working
on jobs where weight restrictions limit the use of dedicated planers.

Cold planers are designed to mill paved surfaces using a series of


conical bits that rotate on a drum. Material type, material hardness,
age of the material, temperature and cutting depth all effect the
performance and productivity of the cutting tool. When milling
asphalt, the cold planer’s conical bits fracture the bond within the
asphalt coating and crumble the material. With concrete, both the
aggregate and bonding material are fractured, which requires more
power, limits forward speed and depth of cut, and increases conical
bit wear.

Cutting depth effects the power requirements at the drum and


is the major factor in determining the loader’s forward speed.
When used on asphalt, an average cut of 1.5 in (38 mm) will
yield a forward speed of approximately 8 fpm (2.4 mpm). To yield
the same forward speed when concrete planing, shallower cuts of
0.5 in (6 mm) or less are required due to strength of the concrete
bonding material.

“Standard flow” cold planers are primarily used for “utility planing”.
They are typically operated at a maximum cutting depth of about
1.5 to 2 in (38 to 51 mm) for asphalt and 0.25 to 0.38 in (6 to 10 mm)
for concrete with the standard drum width; deeper cuts require
multiple passes.

“High flow” planers are used for “high production planing”.


They are more productive than “standard flow” models due to
the greater power available to the drum and have the power
capabilities to mill much deeper than “standard flow” planers.
The hydraulic horsepower to the planer, coupled with the double
reduction planetary gearbox, delivers the right amount of drum
speed, torque and flywheel momentum to productively mill to
depths greater than 3 in (76 mm) in asphalt and 0.5 to 0.63 in
(13 to 16 mm) for concrete.

74 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and February 2006
Multi Terrain Loaders
Cold Planers

Caterpillar offers five sizes of cold planers — two “standard flow” Features
models and drum widths — PC203 — 350 mm (14 in) and
PC204 — 450 mm (18 in); and three “high flow” models and drum
widths — PC205 — 450 mm (18 in), PC206 — 600 mm (24 in)
and PC210 — 1000 mm (40 in).

Both the PC203 and PC204 “standard flow” cold planers incorporate
a direct drive system with a variable speed, uni-directional, gerotor-
style hydraulic motor that delivers the right mix of bit speed and
drum torque for efficient cutting performance. The motor mounts
directly to the planer housing. The tapered motor shaft is keyed
to a tapered ductile iron hub, which attaches directly to the drum.
Opposite the motor is a support shaft and roller bearing. The design
allows for quick, easy removal and replacement of the drum
without removing the unit from the machine.

Cat PC205, PC206 and PC210 “high flow” cold planers feature
a planetary drive system with a variable speed, uni-directional,
axial piston style hydraulic motor that mounts directly to a double
reduction gearbox for optimal cutting bit speed and maximum
drum torque for maximum milling performance. The planetary
gearbox is mounted inside the planer drum, enabling the inertia
generated by the drum to dampen load spikes for smoother cutting
operation. Opposite the motor is a support shaft and roller bearing.

“High flow” models require “high flow” hydraulics to run the


motor and “standard flow” hydraulics to operate the depth, tilt and
side-shift functions. They are recognizable by their five hydraulic
lines (three hoses for the motor: two for the primary flow and return
circuit, one for case drain pressure relief; two hoses for the hydraulic
side-shift function) and an electrical harness with connector.

February 2006 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and 75
Multi Terrain Loaders
Cold Planers

All Caterpillar Cold Planers feature:

Self-leveling design automatically levels itself when placed on the


ground for consistent depth control without operator adjustments,
and excellent spoil retention. Spoil cleanup is quick and easy
because spoil is contained inside the planing path.

Two wear-resistant skid plates on the planer chassis provide a


stable platform when planning and remain parallel to the ground
for optimum stability and smooth travel.

Hydraulic side-shift permits close planing to curbs, walls and other


obstructions. A wide, heavy-duty frame allows planing outside
the machine wheel width. Maximum side-shift is 26 in (650 mm)
right of center.

Adjustable tilt and depth functions assure precision beveling and


pavement removal. Independent left/right depth control allows
maximum drum depths to be adjusted independently on each
skid from 5 to 8 in (130 to 200 mm) for greater consistency of
cuts on side-by-side passes, inclines, and flush planning around
manhole covers and curbs. Depth gauges are easy to view from the
cab. Independent depth control is mechanical on “standard flow”
planers and hydraulic on “high flow” planers. Spring tilt and
hydraulic tilt enables planers to oscillate up to ±16 degrees in
either direction for angled cuts. Tilt is hydraulically controlled
on “high flow” models and spring controlled on “standard flow”
planers. The floating spring tilt system can be manually locked
within tilt range and automatically returns to level after a cut.

The optimal drum bit pattern and standard all-purpose conical


bits provide maximum cutting performance and efficiency,
while ensuring superior surface texture.

Optional drum widths on all models (except PC210) offer a wide


variety of different widths for quick, easy change-out on the planer.
Optional concrete bits are available for all models for aggressive
concrete milling. Optional water sprinkler kits are available for all
models for dust suppression. Note: To operate the water sprinkler
kit, the machine must be equipped with a work tool electrical
control package.

Hydraulic lines quickly couple to the machine’s “standard flow”
auxiliary hydraulic system with 5/8 in (15.8 mm) flat face
hydraulic quick disconnects.

Three convenient heavy-duty, deep skid-resistant steps (one located


at the right rear, and two located on the top of the main structure),
coupled with Cat’s generous cab opening and side mounted dual
tilt cylinder design, optimize operator entry and exit.

Note: Although the depth adjustment allows the planer to mill


to maximum depth, it does not imply that the system is capable
of a maximum depth single pass cut. “Standard flow” planers
are utility planers and are productive up to a maximum cutting
depth of approximately 1.5 to 2 in (38 to 51 mm) per pass in
asphalt and from 0.25 to 0.38 in (6 to 10 mm) per pass in
concrete. “High flow” planers can “productively” plane up
to a maximum cutting depth of approximately 3 in (76 mm)
per pass in asphalt and 0.5 to 0.63 in (13 to 16 mm) per pass
in concrete. Multiple passes are required for greater depths.
When equipped with narrower slot cutting drums, cutting
depths per pass can be greater depending on type and age
of the material.

Hydraulic Hammers

Application Caterpillar Hydraulic Hammers are designed to break up concrete,


asphalt or rock in demolition, road construction, driveway and
sidewalk removal, and bridge renewal applications. Hydraulic
hammers are essential tools on road construction sites when removing
existing curbs, traffic islands, ramps, driveways, or sections of
concrete. They also work well in removing old bridge surfaces,
railing supports, abutments and retaining walls. In demolition
applications, the hammer-equipped machine can break up fallen
wall and floor sections and handle loading ramps, foundations, or
other brick and concrete structures near ground level.

The hydraulic hammer produces a heavy, destroying blow that is


transmitted through the tool to the surface. With a moil or chisel
tool, hydraulic hammers easily break reinforced concrete or asphalt.

Note: Use of a hydraulic hammer on Cat Skid Steer Loaders and


Multi Terrain Loaders requires a flying object guard mounted to
the front of the machine.

Features Caterpillar offers two sizes of hydraulic hammers — the H55D,


producing 400 ft-lb (542 J) of impact energy per blow, and the
H63, producing 500 ft-lb (678 J) of impact energy per blow.
Sound suppressed models include the H55Ds and H63s.
Caterpillar Hydraulic Hammers are matched specifically to the
machine’s “standard flow” auxiliary hydraulic circuit and
horsepower capabilities for maximum system performance and
reliability.

A long, heavy piston delivers maximum impact energy while


minimizing recoil forces to the work tool and machine. A slip fit
thrust ring dissipates harmful shock loads in abusive applications
for longer life. Full-length sideplates protect the powercell and
the front end from damage. An integrally mounted high-pressure
accumulator dampens pressure peaks, protecting the machine’s
hydraulic system and hydraulic quick disconnects for longer life,
while a low-pressure accumulator assists in the power stroke of
the piston. A high oil volume distributor provides greater blow
frequency for high productivity. A pressure adjusting control valve
assures that all blows are delivered at a constant energy per blow.

Landscape Tillers

Application Caterpillar Landscape Tillers are designed for breaking up and


pulverizing soil, mixing compost or other materials into existing
soil, and stabilizing and leveling existing terrain in landscape
finishing applications. Landscape tillers are ideal for residential,
commercial, agricultural, building construction, lawn care and golf
course maintenance applications.
The hardened, replaceable, rotating tines quickly break up,
pulverize, level and condition the soil up to a depth of 6 in (152 mm),
depending on skid setting. The landscape tiller operates in many soil
types, including hard, compacted soil, but performance is optimized
in soils with lower compaction and moderate moisture content.
Caterpillar Landscape Tillers are designed for both forward
or reverse loader travel. Tiller tine rotation is bi-directional.
Depending on loader travel direction and desired final soil finish,
the following rotation/travel combinations can be used: a) Forward
tine rotation/forward loader travel or reverse tine rotation/reverse
loader travel for aggressively breaking up material in first pass
operation; and b) Reverse tine rotation/forward loader travel or
forward tine rotation/reverse loader travel for churning and finely
pulverizing soil in final or single pass operation. Forward tine
rotation/reverse loader travel, however, provides the best soil
finish, fully conditioned and mixed with little tire compaction.

Features Caterpillar offers landscape tillers in two working widths — the


LT13B, 52 in (1321 mm), and the LT18B, 73 in (1854 mm).
The LT13B is offset to the right of the machine to allow one set
of tire tracks to be covered up to a 66 in (1676 mm) machine
configuration. The LT18B covers the full width of the machine
up to 72 in (1829 mm). Both landscape tillers have a maximum
working depth of 6 in (152 mm) and efficiently use the “standard
flow” auxiliary hydraulic horsepower capabilities of Cat machines.

Multi Terrain Loaders
Landscape Tillers

Cat B-Series Landscape Tillers incorporate a single motor direct


drive system for reliable, efficient operation. The single motor
mounting creates small work tool envelope and allows for tilling
next to sidewalks and structures.
Three-position tiller depth adjustment allows shoes to be quickly
set for tilling depths of 1, 3 and 6 in (25, 76 and 152 mm) without
removing skid shoe, reducing adjustment time and increasing
application flexibility.
Tungsten carbide hard-faced, double-edge bolt-on tines provide
increased tine life in the toughest soil conditions — three times
that of competitive hardened tines. Tines are bolt on for quick
and easy service and replacement. Unique spiral tine placement
provides 10% greater cutting performance over tillers with
standard tine placements. Bi-directional tine rotation allows
forward and reverse operation and variable soil conditioning.
Top tiller attachment arms, designed parallel to the skid shoes,
serve as a level indicator and visual reference to the operator,
reducing setup time and increasing ease of operation. Two full-
width torque tubes provide rigid structural enforcement of the tiller
housing, minimizing hood damage caused from larger rocks.
Proven Caterpillar XT-3 ES hose, couplings and o-ring face seals
provide superior leak-free performance and greater reliability in the
toughest conditions. Hose length and routing have been matched
to the machine to ensure proper protection, guiding and fit-up.
Special nylon Cordura sleeving is standard on all hydraulic hose
for additional operator protection. Aluminum hydraulic lines have
been replaced with Cat XT hose for easier serviceability. Hydraulic
lines quickly couple to the machines’ “standard flow” auxiliary
hydraulic system with 5/8 in (15.8 mm) flat face hydraulic quick

Landscape Rakes

Application Caterpillar Landscape Rakes are designed for clearing soil in


landscaping finishing applications. The landscape rake is ideal for
collecting rock and debris ranging from 0.75 in (19 mm) to 6 in
(152 mm) in diameter from finish graded soil prior to seeding and
sodding. Smaller material can be collected but might require
additional passes due to tooth spacing on the rake bars.

The scarifying action of the teeth pulverizes, aerates, levels and


conditions the soil to a depth of 0.75 in (19 mm) to 1.5 in (38 mm),
depending on soil conditions and depth setting. Rocks and debris
are deposited in the integrated hopper bucket for quick removal.
The landscape rake operates in many soil types and conditions,
but performance is optimized in drier soils with low compaction.
This reduces the potential buildup on teeth and bucket and
allows the teeth to penetrate the soil. Use of this product on
hard compacted soil is not recommended.

Landscape rakes are designed to operate with the loader traveling


in reverse, leaving the soil finely groomed with minimal tire
compaction. The rake consists of a series of hardened teeth
mounted to bars that are attached to sprocket-driven chains.
The raking action scarifies the soil, picks up and deposits the
collected material in a hopper bucket for easy removal.

When the hopper bucket is full, simply reverse hydraulic flow


to actuate the rake head cylinder and dump the bucket. A poppet
check valve stops flow to the hydraulic motor and directs the flow
to the rake head cylinder.

Multi Terrain Loaders
Landscape Rakes

Caterpillar offers landscape rakes in two working widths — Features


the LR15B — 62 in (1576 mm), and the LR18B — 74 in
(1883 mm). Both have a typical raking depth of 0.75 in (19 mm)
to a maximum of 1.5 in (38 mm) depending on soil conditions and
depth setting. Cat Landscape Rakes efficiently use the “standard
flow” auxiliary hydraulic horsepower capabilities of Cat machines.

Cat B-Series Landscape Rakes use a chain reduction drive system


with #80H roller chain for strength and durability. The uni-directional
motor circuit uses variable speed gerotor-style motor. A cartridge
relief valve protects the system if large objects become lodged
in the raking system. The durable chain conveyor system uses
#2060H chains for strength, durability and long life in a variety
of soil conditions.

Sprocket and idler placement provides a more balanced, consistent


operation and surface finish. Reinforced front hood corners, larger
conveyor torque tubes, and integrated 0.5 in (12 mm) thick skid
plates provide increased durability and extend work tool life.
Conveyor tubes are bolt-on for easy replacement and serviceability.
A flat plate extension on the hood assembly indicates rake level to
ground, simplifying operation and ensuring proper rake position
for maximum raking effectiveness.

High-strength carbon steel teeth are hardened to provide maximum


durability and wear life in the toughest soil conditions. Teeth are
easily weld replaceable to extend rake life.

Proven Caterpillar XT-3 ES hose, couplings and o-ring face seals


are utilized throughout the design for superior leak-free performance
and greater reliability in the toughest conditions. Hose length and
routing have been matched to the machine to ensure proper
protection, guiding and fit-up. Special nylon Cordura sleeving is

The convenient, heavy-duty, deep skid-resistant step located at the


right rear of the collection hopper, coupled with Cat’s generous
cab opening and side mounted dual tilt cylinder design, improves
operator entry and exit.

Power Box Rakes

Application Caterpillar Power Box Rakes are designed for clearing and
preparing soil in landscape finishing applications, such as general
construction trench restoration, golf course construction and
athletic field maintenance. The Caterpillar Power Box Rake is
ideal for providing an evenly spaced seedbed in a wide variety
of soil types and conditions.

Power Box Rakes offer the versatility to de-thatch, remove old


lawns and weeds, grade, level, rake, remove debris and prepare
seedbeds with one work tool. Its angling ability allows the operator
to windrow collected debris for easy pickup and removal. The rake’s
consistent milling action creates an ideal seedbed for excellent
germination results, laying the groundwork for a perfect lawn.
Wet, dry, weedy, hard and rocky soil can be dried, flattened,
pulverized and conditioned for seed in one step.

Features Caterpillar Power Box Rakes are available in three working widths
— 72 in (1829 mm), 84 in (2134 mm) and 90 in (2286 mm) —
and two angling configurations, manual (PR172 M, PR184 M
and PR190 M) and hydraulic (PR172 H, PR184 H and PR190 H).
The angling capability allows the rake to angle 20 degrees to either
side for windrowing. The manual angle mount allows the angle to
be easily set with a pin. The hydraulic angle mount allows complete
operation and control from the cab for greater productivity.

Power Box Rakes feature a heavy-duty gusseted main frame,


pivot plate and attachment plate for reliable operation in rugged
terrain and abusive soil conditions. The low profile frame design
offers excellent visibility to the work surface. Large, pneumatic
wheels provide excellent maneuverability in both forward and
reverse operation.

98 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and February 2006
Multi Terrain Loaders
Power Box Rakes

The hydraulic roller features pure carbide teeth for long life.
The roller’s blunt shaped teeth create a dimpled subsurface to
ensure the best possible seedbed sub-base fracture pattern for
superior moisture retention, and they hold the seed and soil in
place. Slim profile frame bearing ends allow full-depth and
first-pass teeth penetration.

An adjustable depth barrier allows the operator to quickly react to


soil moisture conditions and control particle size in the seedbed.

Two-position winged endplates allow close raking to sidewalks


or foundations. Endplates can also be set to remain parallel to the
direction of travel, even during angling, for smoother plowing.
Endplates are reversible with the pull of a pin for plowing,
windrowing, or back-dragging material.

The convenient, heavy-duty, deep skid-resistant step located at


the right rear of the power box rake, coupled with Cat’s generous
cab opening and side mounted dual tilt cylinder design, improves
operator entry and exit.

Three lift points enable easier servicing and transportation


of the Power Box Rake.

Dual, independently adjustable gauge wheels allow skim passes


for over-seeding, and they adjust to cut drainage grades.

Proven Caterpillar XT-3 ES hose, couplings and o-ring face seals


are used throughout the design for superior leak-free performance
and greater reliability in the toughest conditions. Hose length
and routing have been matched to the machine to ensure proper
protection, guiding and fit-up. Special nylon Cordura sleeving is
standard on all hydraulic hoses for additional operator protection.
Hydraulic lines quickly couple to the machine’s “standard flow”
auxiliary hydraulic system with 5/8 in (15.8 mm) flat face
hydraulic quick disconnects.

Shear

Caterpillar Shears are designed for demolishing steel structures, Application


reinforced concrete structures, rebar, pipe, cable, structural steel and
heavy-gauge wire in scrap handling and demolition applications.
These high performance cutting tools use maximum machine
pressure to reduce scrap steel and debris to manageable size.

Caterpillar offers one shear — the S305 — matched specifically Features


to the machine’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit flow and horsepower
capabilities for maximum system performance and reliability.
The S305 produces 202,500 lb (900 kN) of cutting force at the
throat. When speed slows, cutting pressure automatically increases
for peak cutting performance.

Steel cutting knives and wear plates are made of hardened high-
strength alloy steel for long wear life and structural integrity.
Knives are reversible for greater service life — side cutters have
two cutting edges per blade; the rest have four per blade. The shear
housing assembly, arms, and pins are made of high quality steel,
and pins, bushings and pin retainers are surface hardened for long
life in tough working conditions.

Productivity is enhanced with 360 degrees of hydraulic rotation,


which enables the operator to easily position the work tool over the
material to be demolished without moving the machine. The S305
has a jaw opening of 9.4 in (240 mm) to easily grasp and cut
through irregular shaped objects. Tight tolerances between the
knives in the upper and lower jaws optimize cutting force and
prevent jamming. A heavy-duty steel mounting bracket safely
secures the shear to the machine.

Stump Grinders

Application Caterpillar Stump Grinders are ideal for economically removing


tree stumps in residential, commercial and agricultural settings.
In applications requiring multiple stump removal, machine
mounted stump grinders provide increased production over tow
behind stump grinders due to the maneuverability of the machine.
Machine mounted stump grinders are popular in landscaping,
lawn care and golf course maintenance applications.

Cat Stump Grinders provide the right balance of cutting wheel


speed and torque for aggressive grinding capability. The offset
carbide tipped teeth, coupled with 70 degrees of swing and 11 in
(279 mm) of cutting head extension, makes quick work of removing
most tree varieties.

Note: Use of a stump grinder on Cat Skid Steer Loaders and


Multi Terrain Loaders requires a flying object guard mounted
to the front of the machine.

Features Caterpillar offers two stump grinders — the SG16B and SG18B —
matched specifically to the machine’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit
and horsepower capabilities for maximum system performance and
reliability. The SG16B is designed to work with “standard flow”
machine auxiliary hydraulics and is ideal for light- to moderate-duty
applications. The SG18B is specifically designed for machines
with “high flow” auxiliary hydraulics and is ideal for moderate- to
heavy-duty applications due to its higher cutting head speed and
drive shaft torque output.

Cat B-Series Stump Grinders provide the right balance of cutting


wheel speed and torque for aggressive grinding capability.
The offset carbide tipped teeth, coupled with 70 degrees of swing
and 11 in (280 mm) of cutting head extension, makes quick work
of removing most tree varieties. A rounded cutting head allows
better visibility to the stump.

The SG16B and SG18B incorporate a durable direct drive system that
generates high torque output — approximately 218 lb•ft (295 N•m)
of torque at a maximum operating pressure of 3336 psi (230 bar)
on the SG16B, and 346 lb•ft (469 N•m) of torque at an operating
pressure of 4206 psi (290 bar) on the SG18B. A variable speed,
uni-directional high torque, gerotor-style motor is matched to the
machine’s auxiliary hydraulic output — “standard flow” for the SG16B
and “high flow” for the SG18B — for maximum system performance.

Cat Stump Grinders incorporate a heavy-duty 21 in (547 mm)


diameter cutting wheel with 32 bolt-on carbide teeth for maximum
cutting performance and efficiency. Cutting wheel width with teeth

is 3.3 in (83 mm). Adjustable swing and extension are controlled


hydraulically from the operator’s compartment using an electro-
hydraulic valve, improving swing cycle time, operator control and
productivity. Swing range is adjustable a full 70 degrees or 60 in
(1524 mm). Debris shields protect the swing cylinders from debris,
minimizing chance of hydraulic contamination and extending
cylinder life. The cutting head is extendible up to a maximum of
11 in (279 mm). Depth is manually adjustable on the SG16B using
a three-position depth control bar and hydraulically adjustable on
the SG18B, providing a head depth range of 0 to 30 degrees.

Heavy-duty, independently adjusted, pivoting feet stands provide


a stable platform when grinding. Feet are adjustable to compensate
for machine coupler to ground height and tire diameters.

The SG16B has two hydraulic lines — and uses proven Cat XT-3 ES
hose on the primary flow and return circuit, and two-braid medium
pressure hose on the swing and extension circuits. Hydraulic lines
quickly couple to the machines’ auxiliary hydraulic system with
5/8 in (15.8 mm) flat face hydraulic quick disconnects.

The SG18B has five hydraulic lines — two for the primary flow
and return circuit, one for the case drain pressure relief, and two
for the multi-function hydraulic circuit — and uses Cat XT-6 ES
hose on the primary flow and return circuits, and two-braid medium
pressure hose on the swing, depth, extension and case drain circuits.
Hydraulic lines quickly couple to the machines’ auxiliary hydraulic
system with 1 in (25.4 mm) flat face hydraulic quick disconnects
on the primary flow and return circuit (“high flow”), and 5/8 in
(15.8 mm) on the multi-function circuit (“standard flow”). On the
“high flow” circuit, hydraulic lines couple to the case drain line
with 1/2 in (12.7 mm) flat face hydraulic quick disconnects.

Both models are equipped with an electrical harness with connector


for the electro-hydraulically controlled swing, depth and extension
functions. This requires an electrical control package on the
machine. An anti-cavitation valve improves operator comfort by
reducing hydraulic noise levels.

Proven couplings and o-ring face seals provide superior leak-free


performance and reliability in the toughest conditions. Hose length
and routing have been matched to the machine to ensure proper
protection, guiding and fit-up. Special nylon Cordura sleeving is
standard on all hydraulic hose for additional operator protection.

The convenient heavy-duty, deep skid-resistant step located at the


top right of the main structure, coupled with Cat’s generous cab
opening and side mounted dual tilt cylinder design, optimize
operator entry and exit.

Multi Terrain Loaders
Trenchers

Application Trenchers are designed for cutting narrow, straight trenches in soil
prior to laying electrical, telephone and cable lines or water and
gas pipe. Machine mounted trenchers are ideal for residential,
commercial, agricultural, building construction, lawn care and
golf course maintenance applications.

Caterpillar Trenchers are designed to operate with the loader


traveling in reverse with the boom angled down between 45 and
65 degrees from the horizontal position for maximum performance
in general trenching applications. Trenchers can be operated at
steeper angles up to 90 degrees from horizontal for deeper trench
requirements or vertical wall work. Travel speed, cutting efficiency
and spoil removal will be negatively affected at steeper cutting angles.

Cat Trenchers provide the right balance of chain speed, torque


and chain pull for maximum productivity in a broad range of soil
types, but are best suited for looser, less dense soils. For maximum
trenching efficiency in soil with low digging resistance, high
moisture content or small rock or stones, a tooth at every other
station is recommended to help shed material quicker and easier.
In difficult digging conditions, such as hard, compacted or sandy
soil, a tooth at every station is recommended to help break up the
soil and remove the material from the trench.

Features Caterpillar offers three trenchers — the T6B and T9B with 6, 8,
10 and 12 in (152, 203, 254 and 305 mm) cutting widths and the
T15B with 6, 8, 10 and 12 in (152, 203, 254 and 305 mm) cutting
widths. Cat Trenchers are matched specifically to the machine’s
auxiliary hydraulic circuit and horsepower capabilities for maximum
system performance and reliability. The T6B and T9B are designed
to work with “standard flow” machine auxiliary hydraulics and are
best suited for general trenching in moderate soils. The T15B is
specifically designed for machines with “high flow” auxiliary
hydraulics and is making it ideal for trenching in soils with higher
digging resistance.

118 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and February 2006
Multi Terrain Loaders
Trenchers

The T6B, T9B and T15B incorporate a durable direct drive system
that generates high torque output — approximately 1068 lb•ft
(1447 N•m) of torque at a maximum operating pressure of 3300 psi
(227 bar) on the T6B and T9B, and 2144 lb•ft (2905 N•m) of
torque at a maximum operating pressure of 4500 psi (310 bar)
on the T15B. A variable speed, bi-directional high torque, gerotor-
style motor, matched to the machine’s auxiliary hydraulic output,
delivers optimal chain speed, chain pull and torque for maximum
trenching performance in a broad range of soil types.

Cat Trenchers incorporate an adjustable boom — 36 in (914 mm)


with 12 in (305 mm) maximum cutting width on the T6B; a 48 in
(1219 mm) with a 12 in (305 mm) maximum cutting width on the
T9B, and a 60 in (1524 mm) boom with a 12 in (305 mm) maximum
cutting width on the T15B. Optional cutting widths are available
for cutting narrower trenches. An 18 in (457 mm) large diameter
spoil auger improves spoil removal in sandy or loose digging
conditions. An optional bolt-on crumber bar guides loose spoil away
from the trenching area. Two optional skid shoes are available to aid
the crumber bar in cleaning spoil from the trench. These optional
crumber bar shoes are adjustable (6 to 8 in/152.4 to 203.2 mm
and 10 to 12 in/254 to 304.8 mm) to accommodate wider or
narrower trenches.

Hydraulic or manual side-shift options are available on the T6B


and T9B for close trenching flexibility near structures or obstructions.
Hydraulic side-shift is standard on the T15B from the cab using
the machine’s “standard flow” auxiliary hydraulic circuit selector
control. Maximum side-shift is 22 in (559 mm) right of center.

Caterpillar Trenchers are available with the chain installed from the
factory in twenty-one different chain type and width configurations
to meet specific digging applications. See “Chain Configurations”
for more information. One of the most popular chain configurations
is the standard cup which incorporates hardfaced, tungsten carbide
steel cupped teeth which provide long life in many soil conditions.
Teeth are arranged in single standard pattern spacing to provide
optimum digging performance in most soil types. All base chains
are durable double standard anti-back flex type, which eliminates
chain backlash and ensures cutting teeth are positioned at the most
efficient angle for smooth cutting and longer tooth life in all soil types.

The T6B and T9B have two hydraulic lines — and uses proven
Cat XT-3 hose on the primary flow and return circuit, and if
equipped, two-braid medium pressure hose on the side-shift circuit.
Hydraulic lines quickly couple to the machines’ auxiliary hydraulic
system with 5/8 in (15.8 mm) flat face hydraulic quick disconnects.

February 2006 TEJB4084-02 Cat Work Tools for Cat Skid Steer Loaders and 119
Multi Terrain Loaders
Trenchers

The T15B has five hydraulic lines — three hoses for the motor:
two for the primary flow and return circuit, one for the case drain
pressure relief, and two for the hydraulic side-shift function —
and utilizes Cat XT-6 hose on the primary flow and return circuits,
Cat XT-3 hose on the side-shift and two-braid medium pressure
hose on the case drain circuits. Hydraulic lines quickly couple
to the machines’ auxiliary hydraulic system with 1 in (25.4 mm)
flat face hydraulic quick disconnects on the primary flow and
return circuit (“high flow”), and 5/8 in (15.8 mm) on the side-shift
circuit (“standard flow”). On the “high flow” circuit, hydraulic lines
also couple to the case drain line with 1/2 in (12.7 mm) flat face
hydraulic quick disconnects.

Proven couplings and o-ring face seals provide superior leak-free


performance and reliability in the toughest conditions. Hose length
and routing have been matched to the machine to ensure proper
protection, guiding and fit-up. Special nylon Cordura sleeving is
standard on all hydraulic hose for additional operator protection.

Three convenient, heavy-duty, deep skid-resistant steps (one located


at the right rear, and two located on the top of the main structure),
coupled with Cat’s generous cab opening and side mounted dual
tilt cylinder design, optimize operator entry and exit.

Chain Configurations Caterpillar Trenchers are available with the chain installed from the
factory in twenty-one different chain type and width configurations.
All Caterpillar chain configurations are comprised of a 2 in (51 mm)
pitch anti-back flex (ABF) chain specifically designed to eliminate
chain backlash with the cutting tooth positioned at the most efficient
angle for smooth cutting and extended tooth life. Caterpillar
Replacement Tooth Groups and Chain Assemblies are available
through the parts distribution system and include teeth, spacers and
hardware, making chain rebuild quick and easy for longer chain life.

Standard Cup Chains are comprised of cup teeth with embedded


tungsten carbide hard facing and are typically used in soft to
normal digging conditions, such as sand and clay. Standard cup
chain teeth are arranged in single standard pattern (tooth every
other station) and are available in 6, 8, 10 and 12 in (152, 203,
254 and 305 mm) width configurations for the T6B and T9B
Trencher and in 6, 8 and 10 in (152, 203 and 254 mm) widths
Standard Cup Chain for the T15B Trencher.

Trenchers

Carbide/Cup Combination Chains include a 50/50 set-up of carbide


teeth paired with cup teeth, where the combination works as a
“pick and shovel” to break the ground and remove spoil from the
trench. Combination chains are typically used in medium to hard
density soils. Carbide teeth are fin shaped with a hardened edge,
mounted in front of the cup teeth in for aggressive digging and
offering protection to the points of the cup teeth. The most versatile
of the chains, combo chains enable the machine to work in a variety Carbide/Cup Combination Chain
of soil types and applications. Combination chain teeth are arranged
in double standard pattern (tooth every station) and are available in
6 and 8 in (152 and 203 mm) width configurations for both T9B
and T15B Trenchers. Combination chain with 50/50 rock-frost and
cup teeth are available only through the parts distribution system.

Rock Frost Chains are comprised of 100% conical carbide bit


teeth and are recommended for severe digging conditions, such as
hard caliche’, coral, rock, asphalt, frost and hard clay. Conical bits
are self-sharpening as they are allowed to rotate in their bit holder
during trenching. Due to the absence of cup teeth, these chains are Rock Frost Chain
less effective in removing spoil from the trench.

Terminator Chains are comprised of 100% carbide shark teeth


welded on top of a flat plate which helps to prevent material
compaction within the chain and sprocket. The teeth are arranged
in double standard pattern (tooth every station) with six different
orientations for the shark teeth to allow for more effective cutting
in very difficult conditions such as caliche’, rock and coral.

Maintenance and Inspect and replace worn or broken teeth. Using dull teeth can
Productivity Tips cause the chain to stretch causing premature wear. Worn teeth
reduce digging efficiency and increase shock loads to other trencher
components. In a wider cut configuration, outside teeth do most
of the cutting and typically wear first.

Chain Tension. Adjust tension according to operating manual —


(1.5 to 2.5 in/38 to 64 mm play). Keep in mind, however, a slightly
loose chain is better than a tight chain. A tight chain puts added
wear on other parts of the tool, robs the trencher of horsepower and
productivity and can prematurely wear out the chain. Loose chains,
however, can cause a chain to walk off the end of the idler or
the sprocket.

Install crumber bar and shoe to clean trench to dig depth.


A crumber bar and shoe will reduce power loss from churning
loose spoil, resulting in a cleaner trench. In wet conditions,
however, soil will adhere to the crumber bar shoes rendering
them useless and reducing productivity.

Choosing chain width configuration. Use narrowest cutting


width required by application to obtain maximum productivity.
For example, a 6 in (152 mm) cut is typically 33% more
productive than an 8 in (203 mm) cut.

Front idler bearings are protected and lubrication is


recommended every 10 hours of operation. Grease zerk is
located below threaded plug above hub of idler wheel.

Vibratory Compactors

Application Cat Vibratory Compactors are ideal for asphalt patchwork and
for compacting soil, sand and gravel prior to pouring concrete or
laying asphalt. Skid steer loader and multi terrain loader mounted
vibratory compactors provide excellent maneuverability for
small compacting jobs that do not require a dedicated roller.
Their capabilities and lower investment and maintenance costs
make them popular with pavers, general contractors and utility
contractors in residential, commercial or industrial applications.

Cat B-series Vibratory Compactors use a vibratory pod technology,


which provides the necessary balance between frequency and
amplitude to deliver the desired compaction and finished surface
in only a few passes. The material being compacted, moisture
content, applied force and number of passes determine level of
compaction. Cat Vibratory Compactors are designed to be operated
in both forward or reverse travel with the machine’s front tires
slightly off the ground.

Note: Skid steer loader and multi terrain loader mounted


vibratory compactors have limited dynamic compaction force
per square inch and are not recommended for applications
requiring a dedicated self-propelled asphalt roller.

Features Caterpillar offers B-Series Vibratory Compactors in two drum


widths — the CV16B, 73 in (1855 mm), and CV18B, 80 in
(2032 mm). Both units operate on the machines “standard flow”
hydraulics for maximum system performance.

Cat Vibratory Compactors incorporate a bi-directional 1.72 in3


(28.2 cm3) gear drive motor mounted directly to the drum housing.
The B-series design incorporates the same vibratory pod technology
as the Cat CB-334 dedicated compactor, providing twice the
compaction force of the original design. The Caterpillar exclusive
vibratory pod design delivers the desired balance between frequency
and amplitude to provide a superior mat finish. Pod-style weight
Fixed eccentric Pod-style housings are factory sealed for longer bearing life and easy
weight weight housing serviceability. The high frequency amplitude system delivers
11,903 lb (5399 kg) of dynamic output force with 2946 vibrations
per minute at maximum flow. Replaceable rubber mounts are used
to isolate vibration and enhance vibratory capabilities. Pod-style

Durable drums are made of high-strength steel and roll formed


and finished welded for a smoother surface and longer service
life. The pivoting interface design allows the drum to oscillate
±15 degrees, which enables the drum to easily follow the contour
of the ground. A spring-loaded dual direction non-metallic scraper
bar maintains constant pressure on the drum to prevent material
build up. The non-metallic design also minimizes noise when
scraping the drum.

Proven Caterpillar XT-3 ES hose, couplings and o-ring face seals


are utilized throughout the design for superior leak-free performance
and reliability in the toughest conditions. Hose length and routing
have been matched to the machine to insure proper protection,
guiding and fit-up. Special nylon Cordura sleeving is standard
on all hydraulic hose for additional operator protection. Hydraulic
lines quickly couple to the machine’s “standard flow” auxiliary
hydraulic system with 5/8 in (15.8 mm) flat face hydraulic quick
disconnects. The convenient heavy-duty, deep skid-resistant step
located at the top right of the main structure, coupled with Cat’s
generous cab opening and side mounted dual tilt cylinder design,
optimize operator entry and exit.

Wheel Saws

Application Caterpillar Wheel Saws are designed for high performance trench
cutting on a variety of hard or compact surfaces such as asphalt,
reinforced concrete and rocky or frozen ground. When attached
to Cat Skid Steer Loaders, wheel saws allow saw cutting and
trenching to be performed in one pass with one work tool. Wheel
Saws are ideal for asphalt patch cutting, road expansion joint cuts,
and utility trenching for gas, sewer, water, electrical and cable
installation and repair.

Features Caterpillar offers two sizes of wheel saws — the SW45 in


three wheel widths — 3, 6 and 8 in (80, 160 and 200 mm) with
a maximum cutting depth of 18 in (450 mm); and the SW60 in
two wheel widths — 6 in (160 mm) and 8 in (200 mm) with a
maximum cutting depth of 24 in (600 mm). The SW45 and SW60
are designed specifically for the “high flow” auxiliary hydraulic
circuit and horsepower capabilities of the larger Cat Skid Steer
Loaders for optimum performance and cutting efficiency.

Cat Wheel Saws incorporate a direct drive system with hydraulic


piston pump motor to ensure maximum cutting rate and wheel
torque for optimal production performance and efficiency.
Hydraulic side-shift allows wheel positioning from center to
25.5 in (650 mm) right of center — for cutting close to curbs,
walls, and obstructions, minimizing the need to reposition the
machine. Hydraulic depth control allows the blade to be controlled
up and down to remove spoil, ensuring a clean trench. The larger
width models feature a standard hydraulic trench-cleaning device.
Side-shift, depth control and trench cleaning are all hydraulically
controlled from the operator’s compartment. Wide deflector plates
allow spoil discharge left, right, or to both sides of the wheel saw,
removing spoil from the machine’s path for smooth operation.

Concrete bits are standard on all models. Optional all purpose


conical bits are available for asphalt applications.
