An exceptionally tidy, genuinely low-hour 2012 Caterpillar D6N XL dozer — with only 4,700 hours and a fresh blast and paint, this machine presents like new. The D6N is one of the most popular and versatile mid-size production dozers Cat has built, powered by the proven Cat C6.6 ACERT engine (145HP) with differential steering for full-power turns and a lock-up-clutch torque converter for productive, efficient operation. This one is beautifully presented and set up to work: a brand new genuine CAT MS multi-shank ripper, brand new sweeps and screens, and ARO (AccuGrade Ready Option) wiring already in place for a plug-and-play GPS grade-control upgrade. Comes with a fresh 250-hour service, comprehensive workshop report, and a 3-month Makin Traks powertrain warranty. Prepared through our brand-new purpose-built facility on the Sunshine Coast QLD. Ready to earn from day one.
Only 4,700 Hours + Fresh Blast & Paint — presents like new: For a D6N, 4,700 hours is genuinely low — these machines comfortably work many thousands of hours more. Combined with a full blast and repaint, this dozer looks and presents like a near-new machine, not a 2012. You get the sharp presentation, the low-wear mechanicals, and years of productive life ahead — a rare combination at this price.
ARO Wired — GPS-ready: This machine is Attachment Ready Option (ARO) wired — the loom and mounts for GPS grade control are already in place, so adding Trimble, Topcon or Cat grade control is a plug-and-play upgrade rather than a costly retrofit, saving you $5,000-$8,000+. For a contractor planning to run GPS, that makes this D6N significantly more valuable.
