what do you say which form is better in big dozers, the triangle cat or linear komatsu and others. which one is superior, why cat is producing the triangle form, does is have a better traction or anything else? thanks.
I've been told that the high drive system does add significant traction forces, especially in ripping operations. Just what I've heard, but if you think of the geometry, that drive has more leverage and has a mechanical advantage. Kinda like if you're using a block and pulley, the more pullies you add, the more leverage you have. Makes sense I think.

Who told you that Cascade Scraper because in my experience a D375 or D475 will outrip an equivalent D10 or D11.
Cat has a new design out for the track links and the undercarrage, this new design is on my 6R XW. The new link design lets the track to be taken apart anywhere in the track, and the front and rear idlers ride inside the links on the pins, and the pis roll inside the links so that the contact area is different each time of contact to the idlers. I gettin high speed net Thursday and will try to get some pics up, i cant figure out how to get them posted! I know some of u probably seen this design but i just thought id through this in here!

I found this real interesting when they talk about operating cost.

Well I think the alligator clamps were a better setup but won't work with the system one undercarriage due to the rotating bushings. You can take the new track apart anywhere but it requires a track press to get the pin out.
Although I haven't seen one a master link is supposed to be available for 'system one'... see last sentence in the description
