The End Of A Era The D6T

The Cat logo is unchanged since 1989, the "trade dress" has been changed multiple times since then, 89 to 91 they were a little lost but in 91 they landed on what is known as the "Beltline" trade dress, identified by the thin red line along the bottom of the decal, 2006 saw the next iteration known as the "Power Edge" trade dress signified by a thick red section on a 45 degree angle on the decal and and then in 2019 we got the next change of the trade dress to the current "Modern Hex" version. What is further confusing is the suffix change and the association of the modern hex trade dress with "next gen" models and upgrades. Lets get this straight, the MH trade dress does not signify a "next gen" model, nor in some cases does the dropping of the letter suffix mean it is a new model!!. Cat has caused a lot of confusion in this space with there directives and changes and you really need to dig into it to understand it.

The D6T XW is my absolute favorite dozer. The 2018 I ran was a total unit running a big fill

There was a XW sitting next to that LGP machine. Had a PAT blade on it. They are definitely some of my favorites

D6d was the first 6 I ran .. I love the D6 series .. I miss the suffix after the number that was just a good way of badging machines in my opinion 🤷🏻… Another awesome video man I love coming to see what I know and learn what I don’t .. I love equipment and I love learning all about it !!! Thanks for another great video man !!!

Thank you sir! Yep D6D for me too. Had a stone spreader box on it. They were good.
