PUSHING FORWARD

For more than a century, Caterpillar has pushed the boundaries of track-type tractor design and performance. Today's Cat® tractors—including the D6N, D6R, D6T, D7E and D8T—apply all that experience to help you do more work in less time, while using less fuel than ever before.Using the most appropriate technology for each machine’s size, weight and applications helps you achieve maximum efficiency, performance and productivity. But because each machine is different, it is vital that you choose the right Cat Track-Type Tractor for your job.The information in these PDF files will help you decide which Cat medium dozers are best suited to your work, suggest ways to configure a tractor to meet the demands of your applications, and demonstrate key operating techniques that help you get more work done every day, while maximizing tractor life and minimizing operating costs.    

Note: These guides do not replace the Operating & Maintenance Manual that comes with every Cat Track-Type Tractor. It is vital that you study and understand this manual before operating any Cat equipment.

This PDF outlines the major operating components of track-type tractors, describes when you should use a dozer rather than another type of equipment, and provides examples of typical applications for Cat D6, D7 and D8 class dozers.
