Transmission

Single lever control for three speeds forward and three reverse.

Torque divider: Single-stage torque converter with planetary gear set provides high torque, anti-stall characteristics with direct drive response and efficiency.

Range transmission: Plantary gear sets controlled by large, oil-cooled, hydraulically actuated clutches. Special valve system permits smooth, instant shifting under full load without braking or decelerating engine.

Counterweights

Full hydraulic control
17 segments @ 600 kg (1,330 lb) each 10,180 kg 22,440 lb
Total weight extendable 12,560 kg 27,680 lb

Full hydraulic control. High mounting of counterweight pivot point gives excellent side and bottom clearance. Over-center design prevents creep-out when retracted. Minimum overall width for easier maneuvering and shipping.

Number of track rollers (each side) 8  
Track gauge 2540 mm 100"
Length of track on ground 3750 mm 147.75"
Ground contact area with standard shoes 6.48 sq m 10,050 sq in
Grouser clearance, ground face of shoe 630 mm 25"
Grouser height from ground face of shoe 87 mm 3.44"
