Introduction

Caterpillar D3C SA Crawler Tractor

The Caterpillar D3C SA is a specialized agricultural crawler tractor produced between 1987 and 1991. Designed for demanding field operations, it utilizes a tracked drivetrain to provide stability and high tractive effort in various soil conditions.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by the Caterpillar 3204, a 5.2-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It features liquid cooling and a direct injection fuel system. The engine operates at a rated speed of 2400 RPM, delivering a gross power output of 110 hp (82.0 kW) and a net power output of 101 hp (75.3 kW). The drawbar capacity is rated at 82 hp (61.1 kW).

Transmission and Drivetrain

The D3C SA utilizes a mechanical transmission system providing 5 forward gears and 4 reverse gears, allowing the operator to select the appropriate speed for specific agricultural tasks. The machine operates on a crawler drivetrain equipped with 14-inch tracks, which distribute the tractor's weight to minimize ground pressure and maximize traction.

Electrical System

The electrical system is based on a 12-volt architecture. It includes an electric starter for engine ignition and an alternator rated at 55 amps to maintain battery charge during operation.

Dimensions and Safety

The tractor has an operating weight ranging from 14,284 to 14,750 pounds, depending on the configuration. For operator protection, the unit is equipped with a four-post Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS).

Conclusion

"The Caterpillar D3C SA is a robust, purpose-built machine engineered for heavy-duty agricultural traction. Its combination of a turbocharged diesel engine, multi-speed transmission, and tracked chassis makes it suitable for intensive fieldwork requiring high levels of grip and consistent pulling power."
