Overview

Performance And Technology For Higher Productivity

The Cat® Next Generation D6 Dozer, with more weight, horsepower, and technology than its predecessor, is the right choice from first cut to final grade. The proven Cat C9.3B engine with a fully automatic 4-speed transmission ensures there is power when needed. Common cabs and controls from the D5 to the D8 coupled with a broad range of technology simplifies operation across all bulldozers.

Benefits

More Power

More weight and horsepower than D6T and an improved frame design gives the D6 a balanced ride with no additional counterweights and the power to handle a variety of tasks.

Easy To Operate

Fully automatic 4-speed transmission continuously adjusts for maximum efficiency and power to the ground without added operator input.

Increase Productivity with Cat Technology

Easy-to-add Assist features help reduce operator inputs, while other options, such as Cat Grade with 3D hardware ready, make enabling technologies easier.
