 Power and Efficiency
More work, less fuel

Smooth and Powerful

• New fully automatic four-speed transmission, with lock-up clutch torque divider,
continuously optimizes gear and engine speed for the application without added
operator input.
• Added gear between first and second, and seamless lock-up clutch engagement,
for exceptionally smooth shifting.
• Maintains power to the ground through load changes for an aggressive feel
in the dirt.
• Up to 2.5 percent more productive – move more material per hour.*

More Fuel Efficient

• Full-time Auto Shift for significantly better fuel efficiency with less operator effort –
without sacrificing performance.
• Up to 20 percent more fuel efficient* – as much as 30 percent better in lighter
load finish grading applications.
• Sustainable: fuel savings reduces CO2 production by an average of approximately
16.6 metric tons (17.7 tons) per year.

Agile and Responsive

• Faster implement response*, especially with GRADE technologies.
• Agile turning and faster cycle times, even in softer conditions, with
Why so Easy and Efficient? Differential Steering.

ground speed and go to work. The tractor will
automatically choose the optimal gear and
engine speed. When more torque is needed for
cutting, it automatically downshifts, the lock-up
clutch disengages and engine speed increases.
When the blade load decreases, there is no
need for the operator to upshift – ground speed
will rise, the lock-up clutch will engage and the
transmission will automatically upshift to reduce
engine speed and minimize fuel consumption.

Operator Environment
Comfort and productivity

Operators enjoy comforts like quiet cab, heated/ventilated seat

option and auxiliary power port. The main display and grade
control display are placed directly in front of the operator,
while still allowing excellent visibility over the top of the hood.

New color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is glare resistant

and easy to read day or night.
• Monitor machine operation.
• Access machine/implement settings menus.
• View machine diagnostics.
• Slope Assist control screen.
• Displays real-time machine slope and mainfall.
• Enables coded start and multiple operator profiles.
• Rear vision camera screen (when equipped).

Machine Controls
• Tiller style handle for precise turning and easy directional control.
• Change ground speeds easily – in large (half gear) or small (one-tenth gear)
increments – with detented thumb roller.
• Improved blade feedback with updated implement joystick.
• Low effort electro-hydraulics give you precise implement control with
selectable implement response levels – fine, medium, coarse.
• Variable throttle control dial lets you use preset engine speeds.
• Bi-directional shift allows you to automatically select the desired forward/
reverse speeds, or customize machine speeds for operator preference.

 Equipped for the Job
Optimize your machine

Undercarriage
Caterpillar elevated sprocket design helps protect major
components from harsh impacts and provides a modular
design that is convenient to service. Choose Heavy Duty
undercarriage for aggressive applications like land clearing,
side-slopes or rocky terrain. Or, choose SystemOne™
undercarriage that is designed to work and wear as a system
for longer life and lower costs in many applications. A broad
choice of track shoe designs and widths help you further
optimize your machine for performance and longer life.

Blades
Semi-Universal, Straight and Angle blades are designed with a
strong box section to stand up to the most severe applications.
Heavy moldboard construction, hardened bolt-on cutting
edges and end bits add strength and durability.

The Variable Pitch Angle Tilt (VPAT) blade allows you to

hydraulically adjust lift, angle and tilt for precise results.
The VPAT blade is wider to take on a variety of applications
so you can use your D6T for spreading material, finish grading,
side casting, V-ditching and backfilling. The VPAT blade can
also be angled for easy shipping.

Rear Implements
A new high-lift, multi-shank ripper offers more ground
clearance and better penetration. Or outfit your dozer with
a winch, drawbar, or rear counterweight. Ask your Cat dealer
for available options to help you optimize your machine for
the work you do.

Integrated Technologies
Monitor, manage and enhance job site operations

GRADE for Dozers

Cat Connect GRADE technologies help you hit target grade
faster and more accurately. Finish jobs in fewer passes, and
with less operator effort, saving you time and helping you increase profit.

Cat GRADE with Slope Assist („) helps operators by automatically

maintaining pre-established blade position. The system saves time,
increases finish quality and reduces operator input. Experienced
operators can work more productively and less experienced operators
can achieve better quality results more quickly.

Cat Slope Indicate („) displays machine cross-slope and fore/aft

orientation on the primary monitor, helping operators work more
accurately on slopes.

Cat Stable Blade („) complements the operator’s blade-control input

for attaining finish grades quicker with less effort.

Cat GRADE with 3D (z) is a factory integrated grade control system

that enables operators to improve grading efficiency, accuracy, and
productivity in both production dozing and fine-grading applications.
The integrated design positions antennas on the cab roof, eliminating
conventional blade-mounted masts and related cables. The AccuGrade
Ready Option (ARO) is part of the package for added versatility, and
AutoCarry™ is included to further boost productivity.

Cat AccuGrade (z) is a dealer-installed aftermarket grade-control

system that provides increased grading versatility and the ability to
scale capacity to changing needs, providing a choice of lasers for 2D
flat-plane and slope work, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
control for complex 3D cuts and contours, and/or systems using a
Universal Total Station (UTS) for fine and finish grading.

AccuGrade Ready Option (ARO) (z) allows you to easily install or

upgrade to AccuGrade 2D and 3D grade-control systems to add
versatility and resale value to your machine.

Emissions Technology
Proven, integrated solutions

Emissions reduction technology is designed to be transparent –

regeneration runs automatically in the background while you work.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) can be conveniently refilled when
you refuel.

When the machine is turned off, a pump will automatically purge the
DEF lines to help prevent the fluid from freezing in the lines and pump.
A symbol on the dash and a light/symbol on the Ground Level Service
Center indicate when the purge is complete and that it is safe to turn
off the electrical disconnect.

If engine/aftertreatment temperatures are high, Delayed Engine

Shutdown will activate automatically to cool the machine and then
purge the lines. For complete aftertreatment information, please refer
to the Operation and Maintenance Manual.

Safety
Designed with protection in mind

• Well-appointed cabs with good visibility help operators stay focused

and aware.
• Standard Operator Presence detection system allows the machine
to idle when the operator is not seated, but locks out the power train
and front implements to avoid unintentional movement.
• Optional rear vision camera enhances visibility behind the machine
and is integrated into dash display.
• Convenient steps and handles help you get on and off the tractor
with greater ease.
• Optional premium lighting package adds access lighting with a ground
level switch.
