A genuinely low-hour, late-model 2019 Caterpillar D6K2 XL dozer — with only 3,100 hours on the clock, this is one of the tidiest D6K2s you’ll find on the Australian market. The D6K2 is the well-proven machine that Caterpillar renamed the “D4” in 2021, powered by the clean and efficient Cat C4.4 ACERT engine with a smooth hydrostatic transmission and the latest grade-control technology in its class. This one is set up right: ARO wired (Attachment Ready Option) for a plug-and-play GPS upgrade, factory sweeps fitted, screens to be fitted, a genuine CAT ripper, and a good undercarriage. Comes with a fresh 250-hour service, comprehensive workshop report, and the usual Makin Traks 3-month powertrain warranty for total peace of mind. Fully prepared through our brand-new purpose-built facility on the Sunshine Coast QLD. Ready to earn from day one.
Only 3,100 Hours — why it matters: For a 2019 machine, 3,100 hours is genuinely low — this dozer has barely been run in by dozer standards. A D6K2 will comfortably work many thousands of hours more, which means the next owner gets years of productive life with minimal wear, a fresh undercarriage, and none of the high-hour worries that come with most used dozers. Low hours like these on a late-model Cat are increasingly hard to find.
Why ARO Wired matters: This machine is Attachment Ready Option (ARO) wired from the factory — the wiring loom and mounts for a GPS grade-control system are already in place. When you’re ready to add Trimble, Topcon or Cat grade control, it’s a plug-and-play upgrade rather than a costly full retrofit, saving you $5,000 – $8,000 + in wiring and installation. For a contractor planning to run GPS, that makes this machine significantly more valuable.
