PERFORMANCE The Cat D6 Tractor arrives at your job site with more than 100 years of unparalleled expertise in chain tractors. Caterpillar designs and builds the integrated engine and power train to work together for maximum productivity, efficiency and reliability. Features like dual pump hydraulics and differential steering give you a new dimension in versatility and maneuverability. With its rugged structure and operator comfort, the D6 is a state-of-the-art tractor designed to help you produce the best work possible in a wide range of applications.

TRANSMISSION POWERSHIFT The proven electronically controlled transmission has three forward gears and three reverse gears. The optional Autoshift feature adds two gear ratios for five forward speeds and four reverse speeds. Oil-cooled, large-diameter, large-capacity clutches provide higher torque capacity while increasing service life. Modular components facilitate access for maintenance.

HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT WITH TWO PUMPS With the new steering pumps and specific equipment, you can simultaneously count on the responsiveness of the blade and exceptional steering performance. This gives you precision and maneuverability that is particularly useful for working in confined spaces on construction sites or for clearing.

DIFFERENTIAL STEERING Differential steering increases the speed of one chain while slowing down the other to give you exceptional steering, even when the blade is fully loaded. The result is greater maneuverability and faster cycle times. You also get better control of power and speed, and greater load capacity on soft ground.
