The New CAT D6 Twins In Action

While I was at tinaja hills I not only got to operate the new d6's I also filmed other people trying them out..the guy operating the d6 push arm dozer isn't even an operator, hes a photographer named Buildwitt.
A couple fun facts:
• did you know the new D6 is available in 12 different configurations!
• engineered for better balance on the vpat configuration which eliminates the need for a counter weight..
• the new engine does not have "EGR"
• 10 roller undercarriage for finer grading
• new double reduction final drives
D6XE - electric drive
D6 - 4 speed lock up clutch

Thats what i like working with nice dirt love the d6

[@soldierofdirt81]

I am truly waiting to see these show up in the metroplex and how they hold up in the clay soil and moisture conditioning applications that I deal with...

[@briangardiner1015]

I would love to go there just one time.

[@ISAFMobius18]

are either of these the hybrids?

[@mambo3509]

I’m so jealous right now not only at the machines but the dry dirt I’m in va nothing but MUD lol😜👍

[@strangefruit8776]

Jamie Easter yeah mud is no bueno but dust sucks too. It’s hard to actually build anything with dust.

[@mambo3509]

Strangefruit you’re right but it’s easier to add water then to take it away

[@mbulu6351]

Finally a video with a lot of pushing no talking with good operators. How about some 336 action

[@Dinoxt12]

Amazing how Cat has taken just about all there new equipment and raised up the height of the engine cover or engine hood compartment ...maybe to make them look bigger than they are ???

[@greglewellen4510]

Dinoxt12 it’s so the exhaust filter will fit

[@matthewtelder7867]

Cat playground?

[@pushysix]

Yeah last year at the proving grounds. I am going back there again in a couple weeks

[@greglewellen4510]

Not twins two totally different machines

[@pushysix]

They are the same D6 just with different configurations. The only differences between the two are padwidth, blade style and power train. Besides those things they are engineered and built identical in every aspect. Fun fact: both drive line configurations come with the same identical double reduction final drives. A d6 and a d7 are completely different machines.
