UPDATED DOZER LINE FITTED WITH NEW DRIVE TRAIN, UNDERCARRIAGE
The D6K track-type tractor from Caterpillar is the first in a new line of crawler dozers. The D6K comes standard with a new hydrostatic drive train, durable SystemOne undercarriage, and seat-mounted electro-hydraulic controls ready for easy installation of the AccuGrade grade control system. The Cat engine with ACERT Technology delivers 125 horsepower while meeting stringent worldwide emissions standards. Constant net horsepower ensures peak engine power is available for the drive train and implements even in high ambient temperatures. The D6K weighs 28,409 pounds (12 886 kg) with the XL (extended length) undercarriage and 29,690 pounds (13 467 kg) with the LGP (low ground pressure) undercarriage.
The D6K features a new hydrostatic drive system for excellent maneuverability, enhanced power turn capability and variable speed control. The hydrostatic drive train provides independent power and control of each track for precise maneuvering, quick acceleration, and fast on-the-go direction changes. The operator can command smooth power turns or even counter-rotation of the tracks by simply using the hydrostatic control located on the left armrest.
