2012 Caterpillar D6N XL Dozer — RARE SU Blade — ONLY 3,300 Hours Since New — Mine Spec — Sweeps, Rear Screen & MS Ripper — Non-DPF / Non-AdBlue
Make: Caterpillar | Model: D6N XL | Year: 2012 | Hours: 3,300 | Power: 145HP | Blade: SU | Spec: Mine
A genuinely hard-to-find 2012 Caterpillar D6N XL dozer — fitted with the rare SU (Semi-Universal) blade and showing only 3,300 hours since new. Most D6Ns come with a 6-way VPAT blade; an SU-blade D6N is a rare find, giving you real production-dozing capacity in a mid-size, easy-to-float machine. Built to mine spec and powered by the proven Cat C6.6 ACERT engine (145HP) in the non-DPF / non-AdBlue configuration, with differential steering for full-power turns. Fitted with sweeps, a rear screen and an MS multi-shank ripper, sitting on a very good undercarriage. 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.
Rare SU Blade — why it matters: The SU (Semi-Universal) blade combines the material-carrying capacity of a universal blade with the penetration and pushing power of a straight blade — the production operator’s choice for moving serious volume. It’s rarely seen on a D6N, which makes this machine ideal for bulk earthworks, stockpile work, dam building and land clearing where a VPAT blade just can’t carry the same load.
Only 3,300 Hours Since New — exceptionally low: For a 2012 D6N, 3,300 hours is exceptionally low — barely run in by dozer standards. Combined with a very good undercarriage, the next owner gets years of productive life with minimal wear on the engine, drivetrain and running gear.
Mine Spec + Non-DPF / Non-AdBlue — built for hard work: Mine-spec machines are set up with additional safety and visibility fit-out for demanding sites. Paired with the non-DPF, non-AdBlue configuration — no particulate filter, no regens, no DEF to buy or store, fewer emissions-system electronics to fail — it’s a simple, reliable machine for remote, mining and heavy-duty work where uptime matters most.
