<link>http://www.cat.com/cda/layout?m=364919&amp;x=7&amp;id=4368851</link>
<description>The new Cat&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt; D6K2 Track-Type Tractor delivers unmatched finish grading performance and improved fuel economy. New Stable Blade Control feature utilizes technology which complements operator blade control input, making it the best finish grading tractor in the industry. Eco Modes, both forward and/or reverse, improve fuel economy up to 22% depending on the applications for lower operating costs. The new D6K2 uses the powerful Cat C6.6 ACERT&lt;sup&gt;&amp;#153;&lt;/sup&gt; engine that meets Stage IIIB and Tier 4 Interim emissions requirements. K2 models feature hydrostatic drive with Traction Control, which reduces track slip at maximum load. New wider blades allow more ground to be covered in one pass and provide up to 8 % productivity improvement in slot dozing applications. New manual adjustable pitch allows the operator to control blade pitch fore/aft for maximum productivity in various material conditions. </description>
