A D6 dozer typically weighs between 18,000 to 25,000 pounds (8.2 to 11.3 metric tons).
The weight of a D6 dozer varies by model and configuration. Standard D6 models generally range from 18,000 to 25,000 pounds. The weight depends on factors like blade type, ripper attachment, and cab options. Newer models tend to be heavier due to additional features and emissions equipment.
Weight Comparison by D6 Model
| Model | Weight (lbs) | Weight (metric tons) |
|---|---|---|
| D6T LGP | 19,400 | 8.8 |
| D6XE | 22,000 | 10.0 |
| D6T XL | 24,000 | 10.9 |
Factors Affecting D6 Dozer Weight
- Blade configuration: U-blade adds more weight than straight blade
- Ripper attachment: Single or multi-shank ripper increases weight
- Cab type: Enclosed cab adds 500-1,000 pounds
- Counterweights: Optional additions for specific applications
Weight Distribution and Ground Pressure
D6 dozers feature balanced weight distribution for optimal traction. Ground pressure ranges from 4-7 psi depending on undercarriage configuration. Low ground pressure (LGP) models distribute weight over wider tracks for reduced soil compaction.
