RT115 Tier 3- OVERVIEW
The H910 trencher for the RT115 Tier 3 tractor cuts a trench with maximum depth of 94” (2.4 m). Maximum trench width for the H910 is 24” (610 mm).
The H911 trencher for the RT115 Tier 3 tractor cuts a trench with maximum depth of 94” (2.4 m). Maximum trench width for the H911 is 24” (610 mm). Hydraulic traverse on the H911 allows the trencher to move across the full width of the tractor.
The H932 plow for the RT115 Tier 3 tractor has a cover depth of 36” (915 mm). The H932 is capable of pulling 3” (80 mm) material and feeding 2” (50 mm) material.
The H952 combo units for the RT115 Tier 3 tractor combine trencher and plow. The H952 trenches to a maximum depth of 70” (1.8 m) with trench widths of 6 to 12” (150 to 305 mm). Cover depth is the same as for the standard plows.
The H1140 for the RT115 Tier 3 tractor is a centerline saw having a maximum trench depth of 40” (990 mm) with trench widths of 4.5, 6, and 9” (115, 150, and 230 mm) respectively.
Two backhoes are available, the A720 with 91” (2. m) digging depth, and the A920 with 109” (2.7 m) digging depth. Both backhoes feature bucket widths of 12 to 24” (305 to 610 mm).
Finally, the RC115 reel carrier is designed to carry 2500 lb (1130 kg) reels. Maximum reel diameter is 84” (2.1 m).
For the purposes of this manual, we define tractor as a selfpropelled wheeled machine, having rearand/or front-mounted equipment, primarily designed to produce a trench in a continuous operation, through motion of the machine; the attachment can be a digging chain, wheel, plow blade, or similar item.
