![]() ![]() Re: D6C in reply to JRC1962, 04-07-2015 05:41:55Ĭongrats -the D6C was one of the best dozers CAT ever made.Īs said by NCWayne and others, the 3306 is tough, especially at the 140hp (original D6Cs were 120hp)rating, and if maintained should run to 7-10,000hrs easily.Īnd, it has the big bronze disc transmission which is very smooth and dependable.ġ) Land clearing is one of the harshest environments for a dozer - banging, jerking, on the frame and final drives, uneven ground and stumps to twist the tracks and roller frames, lot of debris to plug the radiator and cause overheating or even fires in the belly guard, jillpokes to spear an operator and cause terrible injury.īE CAREFUL, check over the machine at start of each shift thoroughly, and run it smoothly - you don't have to "baby" it, but slamming and jerking against stumps is sure to break something, real expensive. Is this model a good dozer?Īre there any typical problems with this model?Īny info would be appreciated, especially what NOT to do. So there's gonna be a learning curve with this older machine. ![]() I only have maybe 400 hours time operating dozers, new dozers from small to fairly large (1450 Case). The best part is, I'm going to use it on his property for 40-50 hours before I decide if I want it. I'll probably wind up with this dozer, only because he's going to make it too hard to turn down. There's a root rake, a V blade (shear), and the standard blade in on it now. The machine has a completely new undercarriage and very little usage. It's been too wet, or he's been too busy. He hasn't used it 50 hours since he got it. It belongs to a long time friend that purchased it 4 years ago to clean up some property. I'm looking at a Cat D6C, the serial is 10K13187. ![]()
