EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES

NOTE

A Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) has been implemented on selected D7G Tractors. The major differ-

ences between a non-SLEP and SLEP tractor are as follows:

A non-SLEP tractor is equipped with a folded core radiator and a fixed engine cooling fan.

A SLEP tractor is equipped with a modular radiator and a reversible engine cooling fan.

To determine if you have a SLEP tractor, look for the suffix "R" stamped after the machine's serial number on

its data plate.

Characteristics.

The D7G Tractor is a full-tracked, low-speed, medium drawbar pull tractor that operates over rough terrain in all

types of weather.

The D7G Tractor is equipped with a front-mounted bulldozer blade assembly and is designed for earth moving and

construction operations.

The D7G is also equipped with either a rear-mounted ripper or a rear-mounted reversible winch.

When equipped with ripper, implement can penetrate and rip compacted soil, imbedded with boulders, up to a depth

of 29 in. (73.7 cm).

When equipped with winch, tractor can winch loads of 50,000 lb (22,700 kg) at a line speed of 80 ft (24.4 m) per

minute.

Tractors with winch deliver 35,000 lb (15,890 kg) of drawbar pull at 1.4 mph (2.3 kph).

The D7G can be equipped with a winterized cab that allows operation in arctic conditions.

A Mine Clearing/Armor Protection (MCAP) Kit is available for installation. It consists of the following:

(1) armor protective plates that are installed around the ROPS and operator station and other crucial machine com-

ponents, to protect against damage from explosive blasts; and

(2) a mine-clearing rake (MCR) that is installed to the bulldozer blade moldboard. The MCR clears a path 12 in.

deep each pass, of anti-tank (AT) and anti-personnel (AP) land mines.
