‪@bellexcavation9862‬ Brand new dozer has just arrived. It’s dozer number 3 for me. I have the D6N, the D4G and now this machine. Welcome to my fleet. This is a small sampling of machines I own. #catd1 #catd3 #excavation #excavating #construction #bellexcavation #cat299d3 #cat310 #catd6n #catD400 #cat306 #cat239 #forestry #forestrymulching #heavyequipment #peterbilt #cummins #freightliner #ramtrucks #ram #ram4500 #hotshot #trucking #dumptrucking #heavyhaul #Cat299 #heavyequipmentoperator #womeninconstruction #zforce #zforce950 #sxs #offroad #offroadpark #grading #drainage #stihl #echo #stihlchainsaws #mercedes #doosan #cat308 #construction #2023 #bell #fae #forestry #excavating

    I worked for an old engineer who loved the old Cat D-2's. They would drop 2 over an island in the Pacific, using 3-4 chutes. He said usually one would survive and the other would be used for spare parts! The old D-2 weighed about 3 tons, so your machine will prove itself to be very capable. To those who have a big track skid steer the balance will just not be the same as this dozer. Both great machines, but built for different purposes.

    It looks bigger that the old D-2 Cats. The D-1 is something new to me. Sure pretty, all that expensive paint!! 😅

    Thank you for sharing your new CAT. 😊 So nice to see CAT rebrand its line up of Dozers.

    Great looking machine... I agree with you 100 % on the size of the machine. Having a smaller size machine is the way to go. In most cases when the job is only going to be a short term. As well as the transportation is much easier. I've got a 550 and can transport that dozer. Everything I have is kubota, with the kx080-4 weighing around 20k..But when you work by yourself as I do. You take the smaller jobs that can be just as profitable as huge jobs. Once again great looking machine and wish you success with it...

    You know what I love more than a dog? A Cat 😆

    I had a small 10k pound machine that was hydrastat, so you could move around and change directions very quickly. I had another machine that was 17k pound D4 Direct Drive. That smaller machine with the hydrastat would outwork the D4 most of the time because of how fast and maneuverable it was.

    D1? I've never seen anything below a D 3. Seems like they're just playing with numbers now. It looks like a d three or a d four at least from here. I guess it would be great for pads and grading(light grading)

    Same size but is it the same weight?
