MOTOR GP-HYD 10R6035 - Caterpillar

Dozing
Straight Dozing: If the blade digs in and the rear of the tractor rises, raise blade to continue even cut. When moving a heavy load causes travel speed to drop, shift to a lower gear and/or ease the blade up slightly.When doing finishing or leveling work, a full blade handles easier than a partially loaded blade. Slot Dozing: This allows larger loads to be carried in front of the blade. It is used in stock-piling and high production bulldozing. Side-by-side Dozing: Use when moving large quantities of loose material. Keep blades close together and tractors parallel. Tilt Dozer Ditching: Tilt blade and work with low side in ditch center. Level blade when required depth and slope are reached. Straight Dozer Ditching: Tilt blade to cut shallow "V" ditches. For larger ditches, doze at right angles to center line of ditch. When desired depth is reached, doze length of ditch to smooth sides and bottom. Angle Dozer Backfilling: Travel parallel to ditch. Straight Dozer Backfilling: Push at a 90° angle to ditch.Land Clearing
Tree Removal:1. Remove any dead limbs. Cut roots on side opposite direction of fall. 2. Cut roots on sides parallel to direction of fall. 3. Ease into tree. Push in direction of fall with blade high. Build earth ramp if higher contact is needed. 4. Do not drive onto stump while tree is falling.
Back away immediately when tree starts to fall.
Large Brush and Medium Size Trees: Contact tree 12 to 16 inches (300 to 400 mm) above ground. Move forward while lifting blade. Brush Clearing: Lower blade a few inches into the ground and move forward. Lift blade when brush is out to loosen earth from roots. Stump Removal: Lift blade while pushing. Side Hill Cut: Start cut downgrade if possible. Slope to inside of cut. Doze bench wide enough for machines that will follow.Rock Removal
Straight Dozer: Contact rock at one side of blade. Angle Dozer: Contact rock at center of blade. Always check work area. Report any mechanical problems noted during operation.
Use extra caution when crossing side hills, ridges, logs and ditches.
Ripping
Use FIRST speed for most ripping operations. It is better to use additional shanks, where practical, rather than to increase speed. Always use center shank when one-shank ripping. If material breaks up satisfactorily, more shanks may be used. Cross rip only when necessary. When ripping a scraper cut, rip in same direction that scrapers load.Rip downhill whenever possible.
Do not turn or back tractor while shanks are in the ground. Twisting strain on the shanks and tips may cause failure. Check ripper tips frequently.
Operating Hints:
In most cases it is desirable to rip as deep as possible. Sometimes it is better to rip at partial depth and remove the material in its natural layers.Keep several inches of material on top of the unripped formation to cushion the machine and provide traction.When final material size must be relatively small, close spacing of passes is recommended.Packed Soil, Hard Pan, Clay, Shale or Cemented Gravel
Three shanks work well in these
