[. . . ] High-strength, abrasion-resistant steel in the scraper bowl minimizes wear. The rugged hitch, tongue, and structural design ensure long life in the toughest job site conditions. [. . . ] An adapter is available to quickly convert the scraper hitch for pulling drawn implements such as disk harrows and sheepsfoot compactor rollers. Robust, Straight-Line Design Built from 13 mm (0. 5 in) structural plate steel, the tongue is built to withstand the high drawbar forces imposed by track-type tractors pulling towed scrapers. The straight-line design eliminates draft arms, hydraulic cylinders, and lines located outside the width of the bowl, improving the overall strength to most effectively transfer the drawbar power to the cutting edges. Countersunk Tandem Hitch A countersunk hitch is provided in the push block of lead scrapers, allowing the scraper to be push loaded when a second scraper is not used. 4 Lower the costs of ChallengerTM Tractors in scraper applications. Attachments Rubber Track Guides Rubber Track Guides for Challenger MTS800 Series Tractors allow the rubber tracks to move and ride along roller wheels, but do not allow the track to move into the machine and causes expensive downtime. The track guides extend the service life of the belt as the side-loading on the belt guide blocks is reduced. Detracking is generally caused by sharp turns, usually under load. The rubber track guides can minimize tractor damage caused by detracking, but are not a replacement for sound operating techniques. Your Cat Dealer can provide training in proper towed scraper operation. Hydraulic Hose Hanging Tower Kit The hydraulic hose hanging tower kit for Challenger MTS800 and MTS900 Series Tractors allows the hoses to move freely and eliminate entanglement while maintaining vertical alignment for reduced hose fitting and valve wear to increase service life. Wheels, Brakes Raising the Standards. Standard Brakes Standard heavy-duty, construction-grade brakes bring a new level of safety to the job site. Each machine is equipped with four calipers. Brake components are the same as were used on Cat Articulated Trucks. Standard Radial Tires Standard radial tires reduce rolling resistance and provide excellent flotation and durability. Heavy-duty, five-piece rim ensure a long service life. Wheel hubs are oil filled and sealed with Cat Duo-ConeTM seals. Hydraulics Tough components for tough applications.
