Benefits & Features
C18
Performing at full-rated net power of 306 kW (410 hp), the large displacement and high torque rise allow the D9T to rip through tough material. Matched to the high-efficiency torque converter and electronically controlled power shift transmission, it will provide years of reliable service.
ADEM™ A4 Engine Controller
Manages fuel delivery for optimal performance per liter (gallon) of fuel used. Provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to application needs. Tracks conditions and keeps engine operating at peak efficiency.
ATAAC and Airflow
Air-to-air aftercooling keeps air intake temperatures down and, in concert with the tight tolerance combustion chamber components, maximizes fuel efficiency and minimizes emissions. Significant improvements in air flow are generated by a water-cooled turbocharger, unique cross-flow head and single overhead cam.
Turbocharging and Air-to-Air Aftercooling
Provides high horsepower with faster response time while keeping intake temperatures low for long hours of continuous operation.
Fuel Heater (optional)
Uses the temperature of the engine coolant to warm the cold fuel coming directly from the tank. The fuel heater allows an easier transition to winter blended fuels during season changes.
High Altitude Arrangement (optional)
New with the D9T is an optional high altitude arrangement. The attachment provides an updated turbo and control software that allows full tractor performance up to 4420 m (14,500 ft) altitude.
Cooling system uses a radiator built with rugged, highly efficient aluminum bar plate cores. The aluminum bar plate construction aids durability and allows for higher heat transfer and superior corrosion resistance.
Hydraulic Air to Oil Cooler
The new air to hydraulic oil cooler reduces hydraulic oil temperatures improving component life. The core is built using the same rugged aluminum bar plate design as the jacket water cooler. It is designed in-line with the water cores to minimize debris plugging in all applications.
Hydraulically Variable, Demand Fan
Provides engine cooling capability that is matched to the ambient conditions. In cooler conditions, the fan turns at a slower speed, reducing power demands. This reduces fuel consumption in lower load factor operations. Low speed fan operation also reduces both operator and spectator sound levels.
Attachments
Ultra low speed option for cold weather applications
Reversing cooling fan for heavy debris applications
The D9T cab is designed and equipped for operator productivity, safety and comfort. The standard isolation-mounted cab reduces noise and vibration. Overall operator sound levels have been reduced by 2 dB(A). Large windows, tapered hood, and notched fuel tank provide excellent visibility to all sides of the machine and around the job site.
The D9T comes with an updated in-dash display with new features. An improved Advisor Monitoring System tracks machine operating conditions in real time. Dimmable lights allow the operator to choose between night and day backlight settings, through Advisor, to adjust the brightness of all switches and the keypad in the cab.
Operators will enjoy comfort features like standard Cat Comfort Series Seat, adjustable arm rests and automatic climate control. The climate control system automatically adjusts heater and air conditioning controls to maintain a consistent cab temperature throughout the day. Both heater and air conditioner deliver filtered, pressurized, temperature controlled air to the operator and/or windows. The system performs 5 functions: heating, cooling, defrosting, pressurizing and defogging.
Additional cab features include:
Entertainment radio ready and IPOD/MP3 player ready
A low-effort electronic dozer control handle gives the operator control of all dozer functions with one hand. Fore/aft movement of the control handle lowers and raises the blade. Left/right movement directionally tilts the blade. Blade response and blade float can be set/adjusted using the Advisor System.
The thumb lever at the top of the handle and trigger switch controls blade pitch fore and aft when equipped with dual tilt. Dual tilt also provides automated blade assist control capability.
