Caterpillar D6 dozers are known for their versatility and power.

They often come with advanced technology features such as grade control systems and GPS readiness.

The Caterpillar D6 series includes several models such as D6N, D6K, D6R, and D6T. Each model has variations like XL (extra long), LGP (low ground pressure), and XW (extra wide). The specific model choice depends on the intended application and terrain conditions.

The D6T is generally larger and more powerful than the D6N. Choose a D6T for heavier-duty applications and larger job sites. The D6N is more suitable for medium-duty work and offers better fuel efficiency. Consider factors like the size of your typical projects, fuel costs, and transportation requirements when making your decision.

When purchasing a used D6 dozer, pay attention to the hour meter reading, overall condition of the undercarriage, blade and ripper (if equipped), and the cab interior. Check for service records, recent repairs or upgrades, and any available maintenance history. It's also important to verify the functionality of key systems like the transmission, hydraulics, and any installed technology features.

LGP versions of Caterpillar D6 dozers are designed for use in soft or muddy conditions. They feature wider tracks (typically 33" to 36" compared to 22" to 24" on standard models) and a wider blade. This design distributes the machine's weight over a larger area, reducing ground pressure and improving flotation in challenging terrains.

Regular maintenance for D6 dozers includes engine oil and filter changes, hydraulic system checks, track tension adjustments, and lubrication of moving parts. It's crucial to follow Caterpillar's recommended service intervals and procedures. Pay special attention to the undercarriage, as this is often the most expensive component to repair or replace.

Yes, many Caterpillar D6 dozers can be equipped with GPS and machine control systems. Models in our inventory often come with grade control readiness or installed systems like Trimble or Topcon. These systems enhance precision and efficiency in grading and earthmoving tasks.

Fuel consumption varies depending on the specific model, working conditions, and operator behavior. On average, a D6 dozer might consume between 5 to 10 gallons per hour. Newer models with more efficient engines and hydrostatic transmissions tend to be more fuel-efficient than older models.

Caterpillar D6 dozers are known for their excellent pushing power and productivity. They typically offer a good balance between power and maneuverability. The D6T model, for example, can provide up to 220 horsepower, making it capable of handling challenging earthmoving tasks efficiently.

While Caterpillar D6 dozers are generally reliable, some common issues in used models may include wear on undercarriage components, hydraulic system leaks, and electrical problems in older models. It's important to thoroughly inspect any used dozer and, if possible, review its maintenance history before purchasing.

• Review the detailed specifications and condition reports provided in Purple Wave's listings to evaluate each Caterpillar D6 dozer's suitability for your needs.
• Compare different D6 models (D6N, D6K, D6R, D6T) and their features to determine the best fit for your specific applications, considering factors like engine power, blade type, and undercarriage configuration.
• Pay close attention to the hour meter readings, as they indicate the dozer's usage. Lower hours generally suggest less wear, but also consider the machine's age and maintenance history.
• Examine the undercarriage condition closely, as it's a significant factor in a dozer's performance and potential repair costs. Look for details on track condition, grouser pad width, and bottom roller count.
• Check for additional features that can add value, such as GPS-ready systems, ripper attachments, or specialized blades like 6-way or Semi-U configurations.
