Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual
percent grade plus rolling resistance as a general guide use two percent for rolling resistance in underground application or refer to the
Caterpillar Performance Handbook. From the total resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear,
then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
