A tidy, hard-working 2015 Caterpillar D3K2 XL dozer — the ideal compact dozer for landscapers, acreage owners, civil contractors and councils who need a nimble, easy-to-float machine that can still do serious work. Powered by the proven Cat C4.4 ACERT engine with a smooth hydrostatic transmission for precise, infinitely-variable control that makes it a joy to operate and easy to learn. This one is set up right: open cab (OROPS) with a brand new CAT MS multi-shank ripper to be fitted, sweeps and screens for forestry and scrub protection, and a 6-way blade for versatile dozing, angling and grading. Fitted with the XL undercarriage for the right balance of flotation and stability. 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.
Brand New CAT MS Ripper — fitted before sale: Rather than a tired, worn ripper, this machine will have a brand new genuine Caterpillar multi-shank (MS) ripper fitted before delivery — ready to tear into hard ground, rip roots and break up compacted material from day one.
Why the D3K2 is such a popular machine: The D3K2 hits the sweet spot for a compact dozer — light enough to float easily on a smaller trailer and work on soft or finished ground without tearing it up, but with genuine Cat build quality, a 6-way blade and the hydrostatic drive that makes precise grading effortless. It’s the perfect size for site cleanup, pad prep, trench backfill, landscaping, firebreaks, and general property work — a true all-rounder that’s always in demand and easy to resell.
