D10R shoe slip occurs easily
• D10R undercarriage structure consists of front and
Main bogie
rear idlers with a bogie. When a load is applied Caterpillar
during ripper work, the rear idlers go up, shortening
the length of track on ground causing shoe slip.
Consequently:
• D10R traction force is decreased and production is
also decreased.
• Operator comfort deteriorates.
• Undercarriage wear progresses faster. Rock FLD00526
Upon application of a load, the length of

• The fact that D10R has long been sacrificing rear

the R Series machine, maintaining the central part of

As the result of the enlarged bogie stroke,
K-bogies always follow the movement of the track
links when the rear of the machine is raised up
during operation. Track roller treads and track links
are always in contact, track links are guided with
bogies, and, therefore, remain in contact when the
rear of machine is raised up. This prevents the

★ Preset Travel Speed Selection Function

Preset travel speed selection function is standard Heavy Load
equipment, enabling the operator to select fore
and aft travel speed among three preset patterns
such as F1-R2, F2-R2 and manual shift (F1-R1).
When F1-R2 or F2-R2 preset pattern is selected,
F1-R2
and travel control joystick moves to forward/
rearward direction, the machine travels forward/
rearward with F1-R2 or F2-R2 speed
automatically. This function reduces operating
hours and operator's gear shifting time during
repeated round-trip operations.

★ Auto-shift Down Function

Controller monitors engine speed, travel gear, and
travel speed. When load is applied and machine
travel speed is reduced, the controller
automatically shifts down to optimum gear speed
to provide high fuel efficiency. This function
provides comfortable operation without manual
downshift and high productivity. (This function can
be cancelled with cancel switch.)

controls stroke ratio of steering clutches and
brakes depending on degree of load, enabling

★ Smooth downhill operation

When dozing downhill, ECMV automatically
controls steering clutches and brakes depending
on incline of machine or degree of load, reducing
