Ground Engaging Tools (GET)

Cat® FirstCut™ Cutting Edges provide superior penetration in the toughest digging conditions - including compacted, rocky or frozen soils - resulting in big blade loads and less ripping. The patented design of the shallower angle and intermediate edges focus machine energy on slicing through soil instead of breaking it up.

The patented edge design penetrates the ground easily, so the tracks stay fully engaged with the ground. That means you can push harder, and because track slip is reduced, undercarriage components last longer

Superior penetrating ability allows blade to load faster and increase payload mass. The patented design of the shallower angle and intermediate edges focus machine energy on slicing through soil instead of breaking it up.

Achieve optimal load retention with the directing of material towards the centre of the blade. High controllability of the blade reduces track slip, allowing for greater push force and reduced blade loading time.

Made of through-hardened DH-3 steel and thicker DH-2 steel that provides balanced wear across all cutting edges. The system is designed to have equal wear so there's no need to flip the edges and replace the end bits at mid life.
