A premium 2020 Caterpillar D6N XL dozer — one of the most versatile and sought-after mid-size production dozers on the market, and this one is set up exactly the way contractors want them. Powered by the proven Cat C7.1 ACERT engine delivering 180HP (ISO) through a lock-up-clutch torque converter for up to 10% more productivity and better fuel efficiency. Best of all, it comes with GRADE CONTROL already fitted AND ARO (AccuGrade Ready Option) wiring — a genuinely valuable combination that has the machine ready for precision 2D/3D grading out of the box. A brand new MS multi-shank ripper will be fitted before sale. Comes with a fresh 250-hour service and comprehensive workshop report through our brand-new purpose-built facility on the Sunshine Coast QLD. Ready to earn from day one.
GRADE CONTROL + ARO Wired — why it’s a serious value story: This machine comes with grade control already fitted plus factory AccuGrade Ready Option (ARO) wiring. That means it’s ready for precision 2D and 3D machine control — the technology that lets one operator grade to survey accuracy without stringlines or a dozer hand, saving enormous time and rework on civil and subdivision jobs. Buying a machine already set up for grade control saves you $15,000-$40,000+ versus retrofitting a bare dozer, and makes this D6N ready to win the jobs that demand GPS accuracy.
Brand New MS Ripper — fitted before sale: Rather than a tired, worn ripper, this machine will have a brand new multi-shank (MS) ripper fitted before delivery — ready to tear into hard ground, rip tree roots and break up compacted material from day one.
