What is the top speed of a caterpillar 633c scraper?

Pushing out about that 400hp at 1900rpm, the Cat D343T six-cylinder engine was connected to the Caterpillar eight-speed semi-automatic transmission with a top speed of about 32mph. The 633C Scraper runs in at about 40 tonnes empty and, dependent upon the material, would push up to 70 tonnes when fully laden.

What are the specs of a caterpillar D-343?

Aftercooled Power. Caterpillar also offered an aftercooled variant: the D-343TA. This engine is more powerful, generating 359 and 370 bhp at its shaft and flywheel at 1,800 rpm, with intermittent and maximum power ratings of 460 and 550 bhp. In exchange for its additional power, it consums more fuel, with a flow rate of 19.3 gallons per hour.

What are the numbers on a caterpillar scraper?
