TOP EFFICIENCY

Get the highest level of productivity and up to 35% better fuel efficiency – do more work done in less time, and with significantly lower fuel consumption.

GREATER AGILITY

Harness the constant power to the ground and added steering capability of this tractor for faster cycle times. Make lock-track pivot turns and counter rotate in gear for the agility needed in tight spaces.

EASY TO OPERATE

With Electric Drive, there are no gears to shift. Just set the ground speed and the dozer automatically optimizes for the application. Best-in-class operator sound levels give you added comfort and safety.

SIMPLE, EFFICIENT, ROBUST

More than a decade of experience brings you the next generation in Electric Drive systems.

Electric drive motor works at peak efficiency at a wide range of ground speeds. The whole system performs

reliably in the most demanding dozer applications.

Simplified system uses Switched Reluctance technology with a simple rotor design. Today’s Electric Drive is more robust, generates less heat and is more power dense.

Well over 50,000 hours of preproduction field testing, along with proprietary advances in lab testing at the component level, are behind this updated Electric Drive power train.

OUTPACE THE COMPETITION WORK SMARTER. WORK SAFER.

An unprecedented selection of technology choices help you make the most of your equipment investment.

+Grade technologies help operators of varied skill levels hit target grade faster and more accurately.

+ New operator assist features work together behind the scenes to help make machine operation easier.

+ Cab offers optimal interior mounting locations that make it simple to install the grade control system of your choice.

+ All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon and Leica.

+ Link technologies, remote services and tools like the Cat App help connect you to your equipment to help save time and money on service and maintenance.

+ Machine Security System gives you the option to unlock your dozer using a display Passcode or Bluetooth® key.

+ Cat Command for Dozing offers remote control operation for enhanced safety and greater productivity.

CAT GRADE TECHNOLOGY BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

FIRST PASS TO FINISH GRADE

Factory integrated Cat Grade with 3D uses a GPS signal to automatically adjust blade movements – both lift and tilt – as you follow the design. Save time, labor and materials on all phases of the job. The friendly 10-inch (254 mm) touchscreen grade display works like a smart phone, so it is easy for operators to pick up

quickly. Antennas are integrated into the cab roof for even better protection.

NO GPS SIGNAL? NO PROBLEM

Cat Grade with Slope Assist automatically maintains operator's pre-established blade position without a GPS signal. Put it to work building pads, creating simple design plans on-thego or working where GPS is unavailable. Slope Assist works seamlessly alongside 3D GPS systems.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

With Attachment Ready Option (ARO), your dozer comes from the factory ready for simple installation of a grade control system. You will also find a mounting location and connections in the cab to make it easier to utilize your technology systems. ARO with Assist bundles the grade-ready option with features that work in the background to help operators get more done in less time.

Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install grade systems from Trimble, Topcon and Leica onto the machine.

READY TO HELP, OPERATOR ASSIST FEATURES

SMOOTH OPERATOR

Stable Blade has been improved to make it even easier to get smoother surfaces faster when operating manually. Works seamlessly with operator blade inputs to help reduce imperfections and produce a smoother surface.

MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY PASS

AutoCarry automates blade lift to help you get more consistent blade loads with each pass and reduce track slip. Works seamlessly with Grade with 3D but can now also be utilized when the dozer is not running in automatics.

OPTIMAL BLADE LOADS

Blade Load Monitor gives you real-time feedback on current load versus the optimal blade load based on your ground conditions. Actively monitors machine load and track slip to help you reach optimal pushing capacity.

KEEP PUSHING FORWARD

Save time, effort, fuel and track wear. If high track slip is detected, Traction Control temporarily reduces track power so the operator can adjust blade load and limit the track slip.

COME ON IN AND MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE

Step into a spacious cab that resets the industry standard for operator comfort, visibility and ease of operation. Integrated Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) leaves plenty of glass area for all-around visibility. Cleaner sight lines along the hood give you an excellent view to the blade.

POWER TO MOVE DIRT

FINESSE FOR BETTER GRADING

CUTTING EDGE PERFORMANCE

Optional Performance Cutting Edges for SU blades help you move material faster, especially in hard ground.

Patented design moves more material per pass – increases blade payload by up to 35%*.

+Easier blade penetration in hard/frozen ground, moderate rock

+ Digs deeper – aids blade control, load retention, traction – reduces track slip, improves undercarriage life

+ Equal wear life/life cycle cost* – no mid-life edge flip or end bit replacement required, reducing down time for maintenance

+ Built-in wear indicators, drilled and tapped holes for safer installation, interchangeable with traditional edges

+ Versatility – on-plane cutting system allows finish grading

*Compared to standard cutting edges

EFFICIENT AND SIMPLE

The D6 XE’s Electric Drive Power Train has 90% FEWER moving parts than a traditional powershift transmission

FEWER MOVING PARTS MEANS A SIMPLER SYSTEM AND REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS FOR YOU

LOWER MAINTENANCE COST, LESS MAINTENANCE TIME

REDUCE UNDERCARRIAGE COSTS

Choose the ideal undercarriage to match your jobsite conditions to help save money and maximize service life.

+ Heavy Duty Extended Life undercarriage - HDXL DuraLink™ - offers up to 20% more seal life in high impact conditions.

+ New Cat Abrasion undercarriage for high abrasion, low impact jobsites. New design offers double the seal life and eliminates bushing turns, reducing your costs up to 50% per hour compared to traditional undercarriage.

+ Common structures for Heavy Duty and Cat Abrasion undercarriage enable changes from one to the other.

CAT LINK TECHNOLOGY TAKES THE GUESSWORK OUT OF MANAGING YOUR EQUIPMENT

Cat Link telematics technology helps take the complexity out of managing your jobsites by gathering data generated by your equipment, materials and people and serving it up to you in customizable formats.
