Does D8T LGP and XL use the same blade

[2machine]

Hi

Does anyone know if D8T LGP and XL uses the same blade itself? We have been selling many of the blades, and in our knowledge, the only difference is the longer stablize bar for LGP ones, and we have sold more than 50 of XL and LGP each. But today one customer says our blade itself is not wide enough for the LGP ones….

No.
There is an 8SU blade available for both the standard and LGP versions of the D8T.
The LGP version of the blade is almost 2ft wider, but not quite as high to keep the volumetric capacity similar.

Thank you Nige,

I found D6T XL, LGP and XW uses the same blade, is that correct?

No idea and can't be bothered to look. The D8T blade information took maybe 60 seconds to find.......

No the 6txl xw and lgp do not use the same blade. I think they all are different

Are you seriously selling blades and have no idea what fits what as far as models?

Turns out all the customers bought D8T LGP blades has been fitting on D8T machines... First customer in two years claim an issue...

Today's Pro Tip.....
If you want to find information like this you should be looking in a document known as the "Specalog" for the machine in question. These are pdf sales brochure documents readily available to anyone who can search the internet.

So in your search engine type Caterpillar + Specalog + (insert the machine model here) and hit GO.
There may be more than one result for a particular model in which case you would have to download all of them and determine which one applied to the machine you were dealing with.
