Dual Propel Pumps
The dual pump propel system provides
separate balanced hydraulic flow to
both the rear drive motors and the front
drive motors to propel the machine with
full-time all-wheel drive. This system
enables the operator to achieve superior
tractive effort for soil stabilization
applications that require maximum
cutting depth and that are also high in
moisture content.
Page 7 Rotor Drive
A Caterpillar
® powershift transmission
drives the rotor and provides three rotor
speeds for maximum performance in a
variety of materials and cutting depths.
Heavy-duty shear disc or optional
torque limiter protects rotor drive
components from torsional stress and
shock loads.

Cab
The optional cab increases machine
utilization, provides greater year-round
comfort and offers reduced interior
sound levels. The pressurized cab slides
side-to-side and includes a rotating
cloth seat, left and right side doors,
tinted windows, front and rear
windshield wipers, heater/defroster and
air conditioning. Sound absorbing floor
mat reduces sound and machine
vibration transmitted to the operator.

Mixing Chamber
Mixing chamber allows the rotor to
move independently so that the capacity
of the chamber actually increases in
deeper cuts to allow better material
mixing and excellent gradation.
Machine weight is well distributed to
provide stability in the cut for uniform
depth control.

Serviceability
The one-piece fiberglass hood tilts
forward for exceptional access to the
engine and cooling system. Daily
service points are accessible from
ground level and are grouped on one
side of the engine. Hinged ground level
side panels allow total engine access.
Hinged service doors open wide for
access to power train and rotor drive
components. The rotor hood tilts
forward to allow access to the rotor and
cutting tools. Ground level side access
doors on the rotor hood provide
convenient access for easy cutting tool
removal and replacement.

Rotor Options
With a choice of three rotor options, the
RM-500 can be configured for different
applications and depth specifications.
The universal rotor is intended
primarily to pulverize asphalt layers.
The soil rotor is intended primarily for
soil stabilization. The combination rotor
is intended primarily for use in soil
stabilization with secondary application
in light cuts of asphalt reclamation.
