Caterpillar D10R A/C Specs

The D10R is a tractor that was first introduced by Caterpillar at a corporate meeting in 1973. The model began rolling off the line in 1977 and soon replaced the weaker D9 model. Caterpillar's rival companies were building stronger and more reliable tractors at this time, so the D10R was the company's response to growing competition. The newer models set high standards for operator comfort with many amenities, including heavily padded seats, arm rests and easily accessible air conditioning and heating.
  1. Air Conditioning

    • The D10R features an air conditioning system within the operation station that includes air circulation vents which are powered by a cooling system which holds 34.9 gallons of fluid.

    Engine

    • The D10R is powered by Caterpillar's 3412E engine. It can achieve 570 HP and about 1900 RPMs. The 3412E is a 12-cylinder engine.

    Fuel system

    • The D10R can hold up to 293 gallons of diesel fuel. If the air conditioning is being operated, this will slightly decrease fuel efficiency. The average fuel consumption for the D10R is about 17 gallons per hour.

    High Drive Sprocket

    • The elevated drive sprocket was introduced in the D10R and is now one of the most unique factors in Caterpillar's products. The design allowed engineers to forego the final drive system which was one of the most common problem areas in Caterpillar's first tractors.
