This 2004 Caterpillar D6R XL Series II is a heavy-duty, high-drive production dozer engineered for aggressive bulk earthmoving, deep ripping, and high-tractive utility work. With 13,590 original hours, this highly reliable, purely mechanical pre-DEF and pre-emissions asset is completely free of complex electronics, computer modules, or exhaust fluid overhead.
Featuring the extended XL track footprint for maximum fore-and-aft stability, this unit comes factory-equipped with an enclosed climate-controlled cab and a multi-shank rear hydraulic ripper. This is a clean, turn-key machine built during Cat’s peak era of structural durability, designed to go directly to the job site and generate immediate revenue.
Technical Specifications • Model Year: 2004 • Operating Hours: 13,590 • Engine: Cat 3126B HEUI Turbocharged 6-Cylinder Diesel (Pre-DEF / Pre-Emissions) • Net Power: 185 hp • Transmission: 3-Speed Planetary Powershift (3 Forward / 3 Reverse) • Undercarriage Configuration: Extra Long (XL) High-Drive Extended Track Frame • Rear Attachment: Heavy-Duty Multi-Shank Hydraulic Ripper • Cab Type: Enclosed ROPS Cabin • Operating Weight: Approx. 45,400 lbs • Fuel Capacity: 101 gallons Key Features & Equipment • Pre-DEF Mechanical Power: Powered by the field-proven Cat 3126B engine—delivering heavy-duty pushing power under full load with zero emissions electronics or fluid requirements. • Factory Multi-Shank Ripper: Outfitted with a heavy-duty, parallelogram-style rear hydraulic ripper configured to tear through compacted soil, shale, and rocky terrain. • Extended XL Track Layout: Extended roller frames provide a longer track-on-ground footprint, maximizing traction and ensuring smooth grading stability on uneven rights-of-way. • Enclosed climate-controlled Cab: Fully sealed, structured cabin equipped with ergonomic pilot-operated controls. • Elevated Sprocket Design: Legendary Cat high-drive chassis isolates the final drives and steering clutches from severe ground impact and structural shock loads. Additional Information • Ideal Core for Conversions: Because this machine is already equipped with a multi-shank ripper, it features the factory auxiliary hydraulic valve sections and structural mounting ears required to easily and cheaply plumb the tractor for heavy attachments like vibratory plows or winches. • Lower Maintenance Overhead: Built before the introduction of complex computer networks and tier-emissions components, making it highly desirable for its straightforward serviceability and low operating cost per hour. • High Resale and Demand: The D6R Series II remains an industry workhorse due to its bulletproof powertrain, making it a highly liquid asset that holds its value exceptionally well across the commercial market.
Can I review inspection photos and a condition report before I buy?
Yes. Listings include detailed photos and, when available, an inspection or condition summary so you can see wear, leaks, undercarriage, and cab condition. Ask your representative for the latest meter reading and any service records the seller can provide—hours and condition are often verified at listing time but can change.
Do you arrange shipping or delivery?
Shipping and logistics are often available nationwide through vetted transport partners. Cost depends on distance, dimensions, weight, and whether the machine is running and load-ready. Your sales representative can quote options and timing; pickup at the equipment location may also be arranged where allowed.
How accurate is the hour meter, and can I verify it?
Published hours reflect the last reported reading on the machine or in available documentation. Meters can be replaced or incorrect; we recommend confirming hours with your own inspection or a qualified technician before purchase. Ask whether an ECM or telematics readout is available for your unit.
Is the machine sold as-is, and is there a warranty?
Used heavy equipment is often sold as-is, where-is, unless a separate written warranty or service plan is offered on your specific deal. Remaining manufacturer or extended coverage, if any, may be transferable—confirm in writing. Always review the purchase agreement and inspection terms before committing.
What paperwork should I expect (title, lien release, export)?
Expect a bill of sale and any title or ownership documents required in your state or country. If the unit was financed, ensure lien release is documented. For export, additional customs, EPA, or certification paperwork may apply—your representative can flag what is needed for your destination.
