Overview
The new D6T dozer makes high efficiency dozing as easy as driving your pickup truck. A smooth-shifting, fully automatic four-speed Cat® transmission continuously optimizes the power train for the application. You save fuel and operator effort, without sacrificing durability, power or productivity. Work smarter too, with a full range of Cat Connect GRADE technology features to fit your job site needs.

Benefits & Features
Performance
- New, fully automatic four-speed lock-up clutch transmission 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.*
- Faster implement response*, especially with GRADE technologies.
- Versatility – pushing power you want for heavy dozing and the fine control you need for finish grading – all in one easy-to-transport machine.
Efficiency
- 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.
Cat Connect Technology
- Automatically maintain established blade mainfall/cross slope with Cat GRADE with Slope Assist (Standard). Finish jobs faster, with better surface quality and significantly less operator effort. No additional hardware required.
- Whether production dozing or finish grading, take on 3D design plans more efficiently with Cat GRADE with 3D (Optional). Factory integrated grade control system features cab roof-mounted GNSS antennas to eliminate blade masts and cables. Includes AutoCarry™ to further boost productivity.
- Versatile, scalable Cat AccuGrade™ (Optional) is a dealer-installed grade control system. Choice of Laser, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or Universal Total Station (UTS) so you get the right level of accuracy to match your job requirements.
- Factory equip your dozer for easy installation of an AccuGrade system with the AccuGrade Ready Option (ARO) (Optional).
- Manage your fleet more effectively and profitably with Product Link™/VisionLink® remote monitoring.
