Description
Caterpillar D6H XR Dozer — SU Blade — MS Ripper — Sweeps & Top Plate — Top-End Rebuild at 10,000hrs — XR Wide-Gauge Undercarriage
Make: Caterpillar | Model: D6H XR | Hours: 13,340 | Undercarriage: ~50% | Blade: SU | Ripper: MS (multi-shank)
A solid, hard-working Caterpillar D6H XR dozer — the legendary Cat workhorse that built half of regional Australia and just keeps going. This one is well-specced for production work, fitted with the sought-after SU (Semi-Universal) blade for serious dozing and pushing volume, a genuine CAT MS multi-shank ripper, sweeps and top plate for the hard jobs, and the wide-gauge XR undercarriage for excellent flotation and stability. Most importantly, it has had a top-end engine rebuild at 10,000 hours — meaning the top end has done only ~3,340 hours and has plenty of life ahead. The undercarriage sits at approximately 50% — honest mid-life with good working life remaining before the next major spend. Available as-is, or fully serviced and checked over through our Sunshine Coast workshop for total buyer confidence.
Top-End Rebuild at 10,000 Hours — why it matters: The single most expensive thing that can go wrong on a high-hour dozer is the engine. This machine had its top end professionally rebuilt at 10,000 hours, so the heads, valves and upper engine components have done only around 3,340 hours. That’s a major investment already made — a job that can cost $25,000-$40,000+ — giving the next owner confidence and years of workinglife without the big engine spend hanging over them.
