| Engineered for demanding work, the D6T is designed to be productive in a variety of applications ranging from dozing, ripping, push-loading scrapers, towing scrapers, land clearing, 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. |
