Semi-Universal (SU) blade provides more capacity than the former D7G dozer for more productivity. To save time on daily maintenance, the D6 GC features grouped service points and a minimal number of daily grease points. The two-piece track roller frame has a maintenance-free recoil system, and the sealed and lubricated track helps prevent internal wear and maximize bushing life. The undercarriage is optimized with strong structures for stability and durability. The elevated sprocket helps make maintenance easier with modular components that are easy to remove/install for service. The durable system is highly abrasion resistant and designed to minimize plugging. Familiar systems and widely available parts help make maintenance and repairs easier, especially in remote locations.Įfficient aluminum bar plate cooling package delivers excellent ambient capability. Heavy components are located low in the machine delivering a low machine center of gravity compared to its D7G oval track predecessor.Įverything about the D6 GC is designed to help make it easy to own. The elevated sprocket undercarriage provides excellent ride balance and puts more track on the ground for added stability and performance. Suspension seat includes a built-in retractable seat belt, and the cab is available with air conditioning for added operator comfort.

These mechanical components make up a robust power train that is easy to diagnose and maintain, even in remote locations. A 3-speed planetary powershift transmission and Caterpillar exclusive torque divider ensure that more useable power gets to the ground for solid all-around performance in a wide variety of applications. Like the long-popular D7G dozer, the D6 GC is powered by the well-known Cat 3306 engine. The D6 GC is an addition to the Cat dozer lineup with 158 kW (212 hp) of nominal net power and operating weight ranging from 21,630 to 22,710 kg (47,686 lb to 50,067 lb). Fully mechanical components and robust structures offer a dozer that is tough in a wide range of conditions and provides a quick return on equipment investment.
The newest Cat® bulldozer brings back familiar components to meet the needs of customers who require a robust machine that is easy to maintain, productive and economical to own and operate.
