At one point in time, if you were in the market for a D6 dozer, you could choose between a D6K2, a D6N, or a D6T. The D6K2 was part of a model family that exemplified this perfectly. The nomenclature change came about after years of hearing from costumers that the model names had gotten too complicated. Really, the biggest problem with that machine, in Cat’s eyes, was the name. But not just the name of the D6K2. In 2017 Cat began to roll out a new method for naming all of its new machine models. Over the years, the D6K2 had established a lasting legacy built upon its grading prowess and a strong resale market presence. This medium size-class dozer weighs in at 29,259 pounds and is powered by a Cat C4.4 engine producing 130 horsepower, mated to a hydrostatic transmission. Aka, the dozer formerly known as the Cat D6K2. And it’s a model so important that just more than one year later, they’ve already updated it again. A standard HD rearview camera shows prominently in the main display.Mid-way through last year Cat re-launched, or rethought, one of its most popular dozers. An easy-to-use 10-in (254-mm) touchscreen main display puts machine settings and features in easy view. In the cab, operators will find a more comfortable seat with improved suspension and multiple adjustments for personalized comfort.
