Overview
The Cat D6T dozer has earned a reputation for best-in-class versatility, productivity and resale value. Because it excels across a wide range of dozing tasks, customers choose the D6T for everything from dozing, ripping, scraper work and land clearing to finish grading, backfilling trenches, building oil/gas/wind farm pads and working landfills. The D6T offers many of the robust features found on larger tractors, with the reliability and low operating costs customers have come to expect from Cat Track-Type Tractors.

Benefits & Features
OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL
- Cab designed for operator productivity and comfort.
- Isolation-mounted, pressurized cab reduces noise and vibration.
- Large windows, tapered hood, notched fuel tank and narrow single-shank ripper carriage give the operator a clear line of sight to front and rear work areas.
- Cat comfort series seat is well padded and adjustable; bolsters help support the operator during slope work.
- Radio ready and equipped with a power converter for cellular phones and computers.
- Single steering tiller helps operators work more precisely in tight areas.
- Decelerator pedal gives the operator full control of engine speed when the rocker switch is in the high idle position.
- Auto-shift/auto kickdown allows the transmission to automatically downshift under large load.
PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY
- Components are carefully designed to maximize long term value, durability and reliability.
- Powershift transmission and differential steering work in tandem with the Cat C9 engine to deliver outstanding power, productive performance and reliability.
- Dual hydraulic pump system provides dedicated hydraulic power to steering and implements for outstanding steering performance and response.
- Differential steering maintains full power to both tracks, providing best in class turning with a loaded blade or in soft ground conditions.
- A single-stage torque divider delivers more power to the ground.
- Durable, efficient cooling system uses aluminum bar plate construction for performance and durability.
BUILT FOR LONG TERM PRODUCTION
- Elevated sprocket design isolates final drives, axles, and steering components from harsh impacts.
- Wide variety of undercarriage and track shoe choices to optimize performance and undercarriage life in your specific conditions.
- The foundation of every Cat dozer is a rugged frame built to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces.
- Pinned equalizer bar gives the roller frames the ability to oscillate up and down to better match ground contours maximizing traction and operator comfort.

- Blades feature heavy moldboard construction and hardened bolt-on cutting edges/end bits for strength and durability.
- Choose from a variety of rear attachments to optimize your dozer for the work you do.
LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS
- Service access is easy with conveniently located, grouped service points and wide engine compartment access panels to helping reduce maintenance time.
- Power train oil filter and pressure taps are remote-mounted in the right-hand fender. Quick disconnect fittings allow for fast diagnosis of the power train and hydraulic oil systems.
- Engine oil filter is easily accessed on the right side of the engine compartment. An optional quick oil change attachment can further reduce maintenance time.
- The modular design aids serviceability to help reduce maintenance costs.
- Remote lubrication point in the engine compartment provides easy lubrication of the center pin of the equalizer bar as part of scheduled maintenance.
- Product Link™ collects machine data that can be viewed online through web and mobile applications.
- Access information anytime, anywhere with VisionLink® and use it to make informed decisions that boost productivity, lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve security on your job site.
TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE
- AccuGrade uses positioning and guidance technologies, machine sensors, and automatic blade control to help operators get to grade faster, easier and more efficiently.
- Digital design plans, real-time cut/fill data, and in-cab guidance give operators detailed information to work more confidently and achieve greater accuracy, in fewer passes, using less material.
- Operators can stay on grade and improve productivity and accuracy by nearly 50 percent over conventional methods.
- Grade stakes and checkers are minimized, making the work site safe, efficient, and cost effective. AccuGrade technologies include Cross Slope, Sonic, Laser, GPS, and/or Universal Total Station (UTS).
- All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica.
- Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install grade systems from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica onto the machine.
PURPOSE BUILT SPECIALTY MODELS
- Waste Handler/Landfill Arrangement offers specialized guarding, striker bars and seals help protect the machine from impact and airborne/wrapping debris. Cooling is designed for high debris environments and easy cleanout. Specialized air handling features help deliver cleaner air to the machine. Landfill blades and center-hole track shoes help optimize your waste handler for the job.
- Equip your machine for Forestry work, choosing optional sweeps, screens and added guarding to help protect the machine in harsh conditions.
