Caterpillar presented an onslaught of new machines—24 to be exact—at its Edwards Demonstration and Learning Center in Peoria, Ill., during its annual year-end press briefing.

Because Caterpillar’s D6T bulldozer had not been significantly re-engineered since 1984, the new D6 is a “clean-sheet design,” according to product application specialist Sam Meeker, and offers two powertrain options. The D6 is powered by a 215-hp (161-kW) Cat C9.3B engine paired with a 4-speed fully automatic transmission that provides up to 20% better fuel efficiency versus its 3-speed predecessor.

The D6/D6 XE are available in VPAT (variable pitch, angle and tilt) or push arm configurations with standard or two widths (30- or 36-inch) of low ground pressure (LGP) undercarriage.
